Could have been worse for England. Sweden are an annoying team for England, they're a very tough team to beat. A bogey team of ours. The others should be 6 points though.
France jammed it look! Their group is piss.
Bit of a baptism of fire for Australia.

Discuss.

Can't wait for it now!! Is there anything on this Earth better than the World Cup? Nothing!

 

Group A: Easy job for the Germans.
Group B: England and Sweden are the favourites but Paraguay can do damage.
Group C: The group of death. Argentina and Holland have the more chances but both Serbia and Ivory Coast are capable for the surpise.
Group D: A walk in the park for Portugal and Mexico.
Group E: Italy and Czech Republic will qualify one way or another.
Group F: Easy job for Brazilians too. Japan has the more chances to follow them to the next round.
Group G: Under normal circumstances France will have no problem. The others have equal chances to qualify.
Group H: Another walk in the park for Spain and Ukraine even if Tynisia could cause some problems.

Don't you think that the groups of Euro were far more competitive?

 

A)

Germany
Costa Rica
Poland
Ecuador

Germany will defeat Costa Rica and Ecuador, but will tie with Poland. Poland will do the same, and will share the honor.

B)

England
Paraguay
Trinidad & Tobago
Sweden

Sweden and England ties, or Sweden wins, because Eriksson really can't win against the Swedes. Paraguay have a chance, but then they must be playing on top at all times to stop such players such as Rooney, Larsson, and Ibrahimovic.

C)

Argentina
Ivory Coast
Serbia Montenegro
Holland

Group of death, hands down. Serbia Montenegro aka Yugoslavia is a good team, and Ivory Coast have been dubbed the Football Future of Africa. Argentina and Holland needs no explonation. This group can end in any way, but Argentina will qualify.

D)

Mexico
Iran
Angola
Portugal

Most boring group in the competition, but in a way, very exiting, since everyone can win here. Everyone. Angola is being viewed as this Cup's Senegal, and Iran plays well, but unstable. Mexico is a top-notch team, and so is Portugal, but when they play bad, they play really bad.

E)

Italy
Ghana
USA
Czech Republic

I'm going to kill someone over this. Italy will probably somehow qualify, but not before giving me three heart attacks and two random beatings of opposite fans. The Czech Republic will probably follow them, but both USA and Ghana have a chance.

F)

Brazil
Croatia
Australia
Japan

Brazil must win, hands down. The second place is open competition, but Croatia will probably snatch it. Japan isn't on their home field anymore.

G)

France
Switzerland
Korea Republic
Togo

I hope France gets kicked out, I really do, but their dumb luck returns again and gives them one of the easiest groups in the tournament. Switzerland may defeat France and France may play bad against Korea, kicking France out of the tournament, but I doubt it. France first, Switzerland second.

H)

Spain
Ukraine
Tunisia
Saudi Arabia

If Spain and Ukraine doesn't qualify from here, they don't deserve to be in the tournament. Saudi Arabia and Tunisa shouldn't be a problem in any way.

Also, it looks like I'll be viewing the following games live:

Sweden - Trinidad Tobago
Sweden - England
Italy - Ghana
Italy - USA
Portugal - Mexico
Brazil - Croatia

Top three in chance of me actually being able to get a ticket:
Sweden - Trinidad & Tobago
Italy - USA
Sweden - England

 

England and Sweden will win their first two games. The England Sweden match will be something of a no contest that will end in draw. England Sweden matches always do. They're our main bogey team.
One thing is for sure, Germany will walk their group and must be avoided at all costs in the next round. We do NOT want Germany on their home soil so early in the tournament. Germany will win their group, so we must win ours. It will not be easy though.

 

You haven't learned a bit since the last tournament, haven't you Barmy ? In football... NOTHING is for certain EVER.

Just stop worrying mate, sit back, have a beer, and let the show begin.

 

My god, could we have gotten a worse group? I'm guessing Argentina and Holland to qualify, but I won't be shocked if Ivory Coast manages to fight through... We are the rank outsiders here...

 

Amsterdam.......we have a problem!

Group of death indeed. Well if we can top this group, we should be able to survive any team.

"sit back, have a beer, and let the show begin."

Pac Man, I agree with the beer but don't tell me you don't get a little bit nervous when looking at 'the group of death'

 

Just let me tell you i respect you lot Vukodlak. The big names may be gone now, but there's still plenty of talent, and on top of that, you got Mateja Kezman. When he's hot, there's no stopping him. From my point of view, there are no real favourites in our group. We have to prepare ourselves for the group of death, and that goes for all 4 of us.

 

Group A

I am hoping Poland will smash the germen, but both will most likely qualify.

Group B

England and Sweden hands down.

Group C

I am really cheering for both Argentina - like their team a lot, and I hope they beat the Brazilians - and Serbia. I hope both qualify.

Group D

Portugal and Mexico, so easy.

Group E

I hope the Czechs will qualify. I suppose both them and Italy will go ahead.

Group F

Brazil and Croatia

Group G

What a piece of cake to France. I think Korea has as much chance as Switzerland has.

Group H

Great group for Ukraine! I hope they beat Spain and avoid Italy!

 

You hope they beat Serbia ????

 

Of course not! I hope both qualify!

 

Barmy I don't care when we get the germans I remind you Munich they'd never lost there before.

 

Apeman..look at it this way...if you want to be king, you have to be able to downsize them all. Sure, i would rather have had at least one smaler opponent in the group, but what's "small" at this level ? If we make it through this group, and we will, we are warmed up to the right temperature. I only hope one thing....that Salomon gets the green light in time.

 

Group 1: Germany, Poland - Even Costa Rica stands no chance.
Group 2: Sweden, England - Unless Paraguay manage a minor miracle, in which case England are out
Group 3: Argentina, Holland - Interesting matches up ahead
Group 4: Mexico, Portugal - Angola are the wild card here, Iran just isn't consistant.
Group 5: Italy, Czech - Did they want Italy to run out of decent match practice or something by giving these opponents?
Group 6: Brazil, Croatia - Unless Japan were more than a flash in the pan.
Group 7: Switzerland, France - Togo? Where the heck on this planet is Togo?
Group 8: Spain, Ukraine - If Tunisia manage to qualify in front of Ukraine, the entire Ukrainian team will be assassinated.

SemiFinals might see Germany v/s Argentina, Italy v/s Switzerland, Sweden v/s Holland, Brazil v/s Spain.

 

Yeah, otherwise we'll see him anyway on the WC.....with a vengeance.

Have some fun with the BBC World Cup predictor .

Here's mine (ever the optimist)...

World Cup

 

I agree with what just Leo Messi said: is all fixed, another 'group of death' for us (Argentina). Brasil and Germany got the easy part, like always.

 

Lol, Leo Messie is still only young but likes to run his mouth off I've noticed. Fixed world cups?
