jon_hill987 Posted June 10, 2006 Posted June 10, 2006 Well, It started yesterday, England just played their first game (which they won, so not a bad start). Who here is folowing it? Who's your team? and who do you think will win?
MTV2 Posted June 10, 2006 Posted June 10, 2006 Germany or the Czechs will win, no doubt about it... I still can't believe the Czechs are ranked 2nd in the World.
jon_hill987 Posted June 10, 2006 Author Posted June 10, 2006 Bookies are saying Brazil, with England and Germany joint second favorate. You could be right about Germany though, the hosts tend to do well
abcd1234 Posted June 10, 2006 Posted June 10, 2006 It will be interesting to see how the Czechs do because Nedved and Baros got hurt in training, Nedved's injury much less of a setback is what the team is saying though. Also, I just got done watching Sweden and T&T, 0-0. I am glad that T&T at least got a point in their first ever World Cup.

I'm going for the USA, of course . Although they have a tough pool, I think they've put together a pretty good squad. And have a good chance of making as far as they did in 2002, maybe further. It's hard to say who will win though, there are a lot of great teams, we'll just have to wait and see.

The Swedes had a lot of great chances and Hislop shut them down. What is even more amazing was that he was told he would be starting in their warmups today. I am also going for USA and hopefully they do well in their group, which will be tough with the quality teams that are in it.
jon_hill987 Posted June 10, 2006 Author Posted June 10, 2006 Bah, Sweden tied Trinidad :/ So England are the curent leaders in their group
whitedragon Posted June 10, 2006 Posted June 10, 2006 Im probley gonna pull for england. even though I dont have cable
MTV2 Posted June 10, 2006 Posted June 10, 2006 Hislop was Amazing. Cote d'Ivoire is playing awesome, they've gotten like 4 sweet chances to score, yet they can't get it past Argentina's keeper. it's 2-0 halftime. Brasil has Ronaldinho, and he is amazing, i saw a video where he got the ball from his keeper, took it all they down the field, deked everyone out and scored.
Lorden Darkblade Posted June 10, 2006 Posted June 10, 2006 Indeed Hislop was awesome!! I'm cheering for Brazil but I don't think we'll win this time. We're too cocky this year and last time this happened we lost to France in 98... Would be cool to see USA winning though
MTV2 Posted June 10, 2006 Posted June 10, 2006 Would be cool to see USA winning though no it won't. USA won't make it to the quarter-fianls.
Sigundr Posted June 11, 2006 Posted June 11, 2006 i'm gettin' cable soonn, but not in time to see ta cup. i'm pullin' for Sweeden though.
Mike Windu Posted June 11, 2006 Posted June 11, 2006 I like your ridiculously huge sig that takes up half the page, royal. I dunno who to root for, no azn countries except for Japan and Korea I think the tier list of rooting = U.S.A then England then Brazil then Japan then Sweden then Trinidad cause they're rookies, and rookies are cool.
abespam Posted June 11, 2006 Posted June 11, 2006 yeah i've been waiting for this thread GO AUSTRALIA!! but more realistically im going for england, but their just not performing as well as they could. I reckon Germany will go really well because of the home team advantage and of course Brazil is a given. Argentina should also be interesting granted they can get out of their "group of death"
Master_Ginn Posted June 11, 2006 Posted June 11, 2006 Does anyone have a link or know the rankings of each country?
abcd1234 Posted June 11, 2006 Posted June 11, 2006 http://www.fifa.com/en/mens/statistics/index/0,2548,All-May-2006,00.html
LightNinja Posted June 11, 2006 Posted June 11, 2006 I'm kinda following it, but i really doubt spain will get to the semifinals (or even quarters), we always fail at quarters, also in the last World Cup, 2 goals were annuled to Spain just to make Korea be able to go on semifinals, to make football grow in Asia (thats what fifa said), so well i hope this time it'll be fair.
Char Ell Posted June 11, 2006 Posted June 11, 2006 Bah, Sweden tied Trinidad :/And the amazing thing was T&T played with only 10 players during the entire second half and Sweden still wasn't able to score.
abcd1234 Posted June 11, 2006 Posted June 11, 2006 Results from the day so far: Mexico def. Iran 3-1 Netherlands def. Serbia and Montenegro 1-0
Master_Ginn Posted June 11, 2006 Posted June 11, 2006 Freakin' Iran. They were playing good until the second half and decided to sit back. But Mexico did have some really nice goals there at the end. Can't wait for tomorrow, the USA better bring their "A" game.

I guess that ended up costing them, didn't it?
LightNinja Posted June 11, 2006 Posted June 11, 2006 mmm, maybe i'm wrong, but as far as i know USA in football is not that good, i dont think they'll get even in quarters, but well, we'll see what happen soon

They have a lot of World Cup experience, with 12 members having played in it before, 2nd to Sweden's 13. They are in a very hard group though, so we will find out how well they play tomorrow.
