cluck Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordjake Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 I like how the new ball looks Groups C and F look pretty rough :shock: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sypher05 Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 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? :? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tintmangbpack Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 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.

Phil Posted December 9, 2005 Author Share Posted December 9, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayjest Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 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!

Necromagus Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 It'll be easy enough for us. Last time we faced Argentina was the quarterfinals in '98, 2-1 to us.

Ianbur Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R33c3 Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 Brazil has an easy group start to the group stage. That's all I care about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
How2PK Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 Group E and F seem to be hardest on first sight.

Bubsa Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 It'll be easy enough for us. Last time we faced Argentina was the quarterfinals in '98, 2-1 to us.

stevester77 Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bloodkilla87 Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake16 Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
assassin_696 Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 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" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcticrunite Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CARTMAN842 Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 Im Reasonably happy with Englands group (excluding SWEDEN :evil: ) His team ~vs~ His country.....good luck Sven.... Another 2002? ~cart~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
