Re: World Cup 2010 Groups Drawn!

This World Cup may well be very different from recent ones, a lot of the better teams are having issues with coaching and form (France, Argentina, Portugal) and other teams are in transitional periods (Germany, even Brazil and Italy with a lot of ageing players) and other teams historically underachieve (Netherlands).

So that means a lot of teams that haven't had success recently have real chances, such as Denmark or Paraguay or USA or even England (with a competent coach for once), as well as maybe some African teams advancing far on their home continent (Cameroon, Ivory Coast).

But what it ultimately means is that Spain will probably be absolute favorites, having a good combination of experience and youth and having been in good form and coaching.

The groups all look rather dull, so all in all I expect a disappointing World Cup

A lifetime of screams

So you're hoping for lively penalties?

Because Austrailia's qualifiers included teams from islands with 20 population tongue  Holland have an easy group, England's is ok as long as they don't mess up against Slovenia and Algeria.  With any luck we can win the group to avoid Germany in the last 16 then move onto France or someone, I still don't see us winning it, it will be Spain, Holland or Brazil I think.

I once wondered about the meaning of life So I looked in a dictionary and there it was...I was quite disappointed.

Re: World Cup 2010 Groups Drawn!

I'll be rooting for all the underdogs...

except for all of the games the Netherlands have to play.

And for Brasil - Portugal... I'm quite sure I'm rooting for 7 red cards there.

This forum is stupid.
