I'd like Germany to go out in the group stage with 1 point

If the same happend to Italy we'd have a competition!

Would be great if England can go places, and I actually think they can this year, especially if the kid gets well.

Would be nice to see Spain do well for once. They got some quality players, but don't think they'll go all the way.

Holland has a great team. Won't be surprised to see them in the semis. There arything can happen.

My money (or at least heart) is on Brazil. Nobody beats them upfield, the problem may be in the back. If they keep tight at the back the Carrot-boy will take care up front.

Most countries have a massive amount of restecp for Brazil. Just play like the team plays, don't think it's Brazil on the other half, that's the way to beat them in the KO stages.

And their attack. Mhoa, if your back four plays a good, concentrated game it's good to stop their strikeforce. I think the Inter striker together with the Barcadude will cause most of the problems. Both Madridplayers are not as good as the two mentioned before.

I agree with you there (The carrot-boy was supposed to be the Barca-dude, I think they all eat a lot of carrots down there ). The original Rabbit isn't as good as he was, and I actually think he looked a bit fat in the last friendly. Filled out that shirt a bit too well for a player about to rip the world cup apart I think.

France will obviously be up there again. Speedy Gonzales is a strikeforce alone, let alone together with the other chap.

Like the last World Cup?

I tried, unsuccessfully, to imply they would be there this time, unlike last time

I rekon Scotland can do it

Hope that doesn't count as player naming

retired_tinkfaeree

Scotland won't be it. They can't overcome Austria in the finals.

Holland are no chance if they are as SOFT as they were against Australia. Oooh, my shin, it hurts. Get up poof

You won't be saying that when some big Croatian bastard clatters Harry Kewell and puts him out for the rest of the competion (not that you'll hae any games ofter the croatian match) :p

The Socceroos have plenty of our own big Croatian bastards anyway so we can easily get our revenge.
