If England do end up beating Brazil and Germany do you think we'll ever take the St George's crosses down? I swear there are more of them about this year than ever...and oddly thousands more than on St George's Day.
Onto the OP - I actually don't care much for football so my predictions would be useless. I do predict that the States will do OK, but not great and as always we should watch out for the Dutch, the Brazillians and the Germans. The English will do what they normally do. Give us hope, then crush it.

the good thing is I dont think we can meet Germany in the Semis... I would give it up and cry now if it were possible. Out history with Germany in semis is not good.
On a different note I wonder what odds I could get on that list? PS. USA and Australia will not get through the group phase. If either win a single game they can go home smiling. Edited by ohnhai, : No reason given.

as much as I hate to admit it I think England are in with a chance this time.
I mean come on, let's face it, if they don't win it this time they never will. watch out for Italy too. "In life, you have to face that some days you'll be the pigeon and some days you'll be the statue."

Well here's hoping that if england win they'll shut up forever about nineteen sixty fecking six... Only to be replaced by 2006.. a 40 year cycle eh?
Don't know what you guys make of this:News: Breaking stories & updates - The Telegraph seems to me that If Irish fans went to England to watch a game with little inflatable canary wharfs, or birmingham pubs... it would be frowned upon..

I'm afraid I have to go with Ecuador over Poland today. Even if I thought they didn't have a snowball's chance in iano's hell, I'd still have to go with them. The last time Ecuador lost in the opening rounds of the World Cup, they overthrew the president. I DON'T feel like living in the middle of a revolution caused by a stupid football game, thank you very much.
Viva el Tri! Viva Ecuador!

Is this about a sport, or something?

I watched the game twice. That's right, I watched it while recording it, and when it was all over I rewinded the tape and watched it again.
Ecuador didn't really play it fairly. They pushed and shoved every chance they got! You could clearly tell that they were all intentional. When the Polish pushed or shoved, you could clearly tell that they were all unintentional. They were only focused on the ball. Poland clearly had a more fairly played strategy. Perhaps they have fallen out of god's grace. Added by edit. England or Paraquay? Put your money down right now. Edited by rgb, : No reason given.
