December 9, 200520 yr Anyone else watch it? http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/footbal ... 466032.stm GROUP A Germany Costa Rica Poland Ecuador GROUP B England Paraguay Trinidad & Tobago Sweden GROUP C Argentina Ivory Coast Serbia & Montenegro Netherlands GROUP D Mexico Iran Angola Portugal GROUP E Italy Ghana USA Czech Republic GROUP F Brazil Croatia Australia Japan GROUP G France Switzerland South Korea Togo GROUP H Spain Ukraine Tunisia Saudi Arabia Tough group for the Aussies I think. The match I'm interested in is England - Trinidad so that Scotland can score against the English :P Jason Scotland that is, the saintee :wink: Also Netherlands - Argentina will be very interesting. The schedule - http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/footbal ... efault.stm Germany vs Costa Rica to start the tournament on June 9th.
December 9, 200520 yr I'm forward to watch Brazil vs. Australia. Group B, C and E look like tough. England meet Sweden again like last World Cup 2002.
December 9, 200520 yr Yeh i also watched it. Looks like Australia won't progress to the next stage even though i hope they do, it's a tough group. Can't wait for Argentina v Netherlands. :D Is it just me or in every world cup germany, spain and france get a easy group? :?
December 9, 200520 yr AHHHHH the USA got the worst group, Group E is the hardest and then Group C or F. Nothin bugs me more that the US won the CONCAAF, beating Mexico in the process, and then for some dumb reason mexico gets a seed. That being said I can't wait for the World Cup. Your true character is what you are like when you believe there are no repercussions.
December 9, 200520 yr Author Is it just me or in every world cup germany, spain and france get a easy group? :? Because they are seeded. The seeded teams always end up with easier teams, it's just the luck of the draw.
December 9, 200520 yr That was the qualifying rounds. Next summer is the actual cup proper. Goals to get my skills back up to a barely respectable level on the high scores: Currently going for Bone to Peaches spell. It's amazing how boring doing the same repetitive task is! Stupid MTA
December 9, 200520 yr Is it just me or in every world cup germany, spain and france get a easy group? :? especially France, in the 2002 last world cup they completly dominated the.....oh wait www.PETAkillsanimals.com
December 9, 200520 yr It'll be easy enough for us. Last time we faced Argentina was the quarterfinals in '98, 2-1 to us.

December 9, 200520 yr Seems like an esay group for England, apart from Sweden perhaps. No doubt we'll go out to the first half-decent team we face though.
December 9, 200520 yr Group E and F seem to be hardest on first sight. Will reply better in this post tomorrow, Signature by Maurice SendakWhen the stars make you drool just like a pasta fazool, that's amore!
December 10, 200520 yr It'll be easy enough for us. Last time we faced Argentina was the quarterfinals in '98, 2-1 to us. With help from a Bergkamp wondergoal, I recall :wink: This is how much you all raised for charity. Thank you.
December 10, 200520 yr This may be a bit presumptious, but, my picks ... A: Germany Ecuador B: England Sweden C: Argentina Netherlands D: Portugal Mexico E: Italy Czech Republic F: Brazil Japan G: South Korea France* H: Spain Saudi Arabia *Bit unsure about that ... But yeah. Australia will go out first round; I'd bet the house on it.
December 10, 200520 yr Has the USA ever even one one of things World Cups? No.. they got done to the final 8 in the last one which is a pretty good showing. *Go Netherlands* :lol:
December 10, 200520 yr Why do they have the teams picked 6 months before. Teams could be hiring hitmen to take out the best players, 6 months in advance. They should just draw 2 days before, so they have to be ready for anything.
December 10, 200520 yr My predictions of the advances GROUP A Germany Germany Costa Rica Poland Ecuador GROUP B ENGLAND (YEAAHHH!!!!) England Paraguay Trinidad & Tobago Sweden GROUP C Argentina Argentina Ivory Coast Serbia & Montenegro Netherlands GROUP D Portugal or Mexico (not real sure on them) Mexico Iran Angola Portugal GROUP E Not sure USA will win first game most likely and lose second Italy or Czech Republic Italy Ghana USA Czech Republic GROUP F Brazil Brazil Croatia Australia Japan GROUP G France France Switzerland South Korea Togo GROUP H Spain (Footbol por veida) Spain Ukraine Tunisia Saudi Arabia I've got tickets two to games class 1 seating costed about 3,000$ 1 game forgot which one hopefully it will turn out to be ENGLAND vs. Argentina and one to the final match ROONEY, BECKHAM, OWEN
December 10, 200520 yr Ahh, England have a fairly easy group. That said they really don't inspire confidence in me... "Da mihi castitatem et continentam, sed noli modo"
December 10, 200520 yr Why do they have the teams picked 6 months before. Teams could be hiring hitmen to take out the best players, 6 months in advance. They should just draw 2 days before, so they have to be ready for anything. Every teams can prepare before going to World Cup final like decide to choose players, friendly matches etc. You don't really know a lot. :roll:
December 10, 200520 yr Well, USA is in the worst group, E, that group is just brutal with the Czech and the Italians. I know from upon hearing on ESPN that USA plays Czech first then Italy, so if the USA can upset the Czechs, we can ditch the game with Italy and more than likely beat Ghana thus going 2-1 but the main match of group E is Italy vs Czech, that matchup will determine ALOT and they play June 22nd at the same time Ghana and USA kicks off, so yeah itll be a good world cup, however with that being said, im not betting on the USA to win
December 10, 200520 yr Im Reasonably happy with Englands group (excluding SWEDEN :evil: ) His team ~vs~ His country.....good luck Sven.... Another 2002? ~cart~
December 10, 200520 yr Only Holland/Argentinia and Brazil got a tough poule. The rest of the 'good' teams have a not so hard poule
