NO England in the knockout?! Come on, how could you not want to see England v. Germany in the RO16? And personally, as an American, I'd rather meet up with Ghana; after the way they shamed us in '06, I think its time for a little revenge.
England aren't in my ideal scenarios, but they make it to the quarters when I outline the matches based on relative strength on paper -- though that's largely thanks to an exceptionally favourable draw ...

but England-Germany in the Second Round? you think Germany will finish runner-up in their Group? or that the USA will pip the Englanders to top spot in Group C?

Probably because it was a friendly. They're weird, they drew with Hong Kong in a meaningless match, let Guam score twice on them (which to Guam, is like winning the World Cup), and yet only let in 5 in the final qualifying group.
hah, I see ... there's an elaborate analogy that could be drawn up between military tactics, football, and the use of a propaganda division, but I'll let respective imaginations colour it out on an individual basis ...

I actually hope South Africa gets out of the group. Wishful thinking, I know.

1. South Africa
2. Uruguay

That'd be hilarious considering you know the French and the Mexicans see it as a walk over, maybe not so much Mexico with Uruguay though.

That's my hope, anyway. It'd make for the most fun watching, IMO. Realistically, it's likely going to be USA v. Germany and England v. Ghana or possibly Australia. But who wants to see the English face one of their old colonies? Oh, wait...

It's a tough group IMO. Assuming Germany goes through, I think the other three teams in the group each have about a 1/3 chance of being the second team. There's nothing between them.

This group is pretty dangerous, considering our first game is against Australia, we pretty much have to win it, or it could get really bad. I´d prefer a start match versus Serbia or Ghana. But nevertheless, we should go through.

Nah, I just think some teams may be favoured along the way, and I feel it won't be Portugal... And, if you get rid of that player, I may even end up supporting you! (not that it does much good, you see.... but...)

If history has taught us anything, Portugal will probably beat Brazil, then lose to North Korea and Cote d'Ivoire. It seems they only take top competition seriously, then look like ass vs. teams they should run through.. and this coming from a Portugal fan.
 


Heh arrogance! (H)
