they'll surely beat chile, but i doubt they can make it to the final, i'd say semifinals at most. You know how spain always has a great team and always fail miserably

btw, i think rolando is not from the states, but im not sure anyway

I always knew we'd do it

Congratulations to USA getting through with a last mintue goal too

I just hope Ghana don't lose to Germany tonight so that we don't have to play Germany in the second round!

Me too. Local news was parked at work today because the pub opposite had 1 member of the 1966 squad and some other pro and they did interviews.

I had a feeling we'd get Germany... Doubt it'll be a repeat of the 5-1 match

Ghana Lost... that would be a wonderful game

Germany vs England



Now, lets bet for england to win

England have a great team full of stars, but they have awful chemistry when they play together.

France were never going to get through. For one reason Domenech. They had a great team but it has gone to waste. I know people are saying it's 'justice' for Ireland that they went out but to be fair, France would have beaten them on penalties. But yes they should of had that opportunity.

Spain are my favourites to win it. I know people say they 'choke' but this year could be their year. They certainly have the team to do it.

Argentina also have a great team maybe the best in the competition but I don't think they'll win it, I'm still not convinced with Maradonna as manager, he treats his players great and they've done very well so far, but I think if they came up against a big team they'd get out played.

I'd love the Netherlands to win it, but sadly their defence isn't on par with their attack and they'll suffer quite a lot from it. Especially when they come up against another highly attacking team.


These are my opinions on the teams I've most watched over the past year or so. I've watched other teams but can't really comment on them because I don't think I've watched them enough to have a solid opinion on them.

Looks like Italy are crapping out.....set to finish BOTTOM of a group with Paraguay, Slovakia and New Zealand!

I'm looking forward to England-Germany on Sunday, always great to renew old rivalries, especially in the World Cup.  It's a young German team and as the Serbia game showed, they're not infallable....they didn't exactly coast past Ghana either...we shall see.

Argentine is favorite for the cup..

Actually, Brazil are the current favourites


Brazil 7/2
Argentina 9/2
Spain 5/1
Holland 6/1
Germany 10/1
England 10/1

Very disappointed in Italy going out, makes it easier for us of course .  I'm sure they'll be a BIG restructuring of their team and they'll be back stronger in 2 years like Germany have been this year after getting a fresh influx of players,

I cannot believe Italy is out now Wow such a shame!

About Brazil-Portugal game which ended with 0-0 a 7 yellow cards in first 45 minutes: boring
