We all have different opinions on that. Which "giants" will get an early plane ride back home this year? Remember Argentina, Portugal and France last cup? I've created a website to allow us to post and keep track of our predictions. Check out www.lusogolf.org/wc
I would join, but I'm highly suspicious of a site that requires my real world address (what possibly for?) and a friends e-mail(!!!) for registration. No thanks...
group A germany poland group B england sweden group C argentina netherlands group D mexico portugal group E italy czech republic (i dont think usa will get to second round, there going to be too over confident) group F brazil croatia group G france korea group H spain ukraine
Thanks for bringing that up to my attention. Those fields have been removed from the form. Not needed (left over from another form)
So there won't be a single upstart in the rd. of 16? Inconceivable. US may or may not be good enough, but they will not be "overconfident." Their fans, maybe, but Bruce won't let the team get that way.
group A Germany Costa Rica group B England Sweden group C Holland Argentina group D Mexico Portugal group E Toss up. Anybody could go home. Anybody could advance. Ghana USA group F Brasil Australia group G France Switzerland (I want to say Togo) group H Ukraine Spain Winners listed first. /shrug
Group A Germany Costa Rica Group B Paraguay England Group C Holland Argentina Group D Portugal Iran Group E Czech Rep USA Group F Brazil Australia Group G France S. Korea Group H Ukraine Tunisia A few upsets - but none unbelievable. IMO all groups have at least 3 teams that could go through
Group A Germany Costa Rica Group B England Paraguay Group C Argentina Serbia & Montenegro Group D Portugal Iran Group E Italy Ghana Group F Brazil Croatia Group G France South Korea Group H Spain Ukraine
Group A Germany Poland Group B England Paraguay/Sweden - tough one Group C Argentina Holland Group D Portugal Mexico Group E Czech Rep. USA Group F Brazil Croatia Group G France South Korea Group H Spain Ukraine
A Germany Poland B England Sweden C Argentina Holland D Portugal Iran E Czech Republic Ghana F Brazil Croatia G France Togo H Ukraine Spain
A Germany Poland B Sweden Paraguay C Ivory Coast Argentina D Iran Mexico E Czech Republic Ghana F Brazil Croatia G France S.Korea H Ukraine Saudi Arabia So I guess a few suprises, like Argentina making it to the 2nd round this time
Ghana may possibly be the strongest team in that group. I think Italy are the weakest. Italy will not make it out of the first round.
group A germany ecuador group B england sweden group C netherlands cote d'ivoire (they gonna edge out argentina on goals for with a resounding win over Serbia and Montenegro in their last game of the group) group D portugal mexico group E czech republic italy group F brazil croatia group G korea france group H spain ukraine
It's never an upset for a side, boasting the likes of Michael Essien, Sulley Muntari and Stephen Appiah, to beat the minnows of world football ***edited by mod****

Mod's note Hey! How about we keep the comments on other people's predictions to a minimum here! I just edityed out several flaming posts and parts of others in an effort to keep this thread on track.
