ponsaelius Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 A: France and Mexico B: Argentina and South Korea C: England and USA D: Germany and Serbia E: Holland and Denmark F: Italy and Paraguay G: Brazil and Portugal H: Spain and Switzerland That's my picks like. 3 changes from yours. I'm excited by the prospect of Chile, but I'm not convinced how their tactics are gonna go down with their group. Their lack of a plan B/C could bite them in the arse, and while Bielsa should be commended for his commitment to 'good' football, I reckon Hitzfeld will grind the Swiss through that group. France will pull it together in the end imo, atleast through the group stages. All the groups seem really intriguing tbh, I can't wait for it to start.

cubaricho Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 Also, the more I think about it, the more I think France won't make it out of their group. Actually changed my brackets around the other day with this. Also with Italy not topping their group. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raconteur Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 Here is my smokey in the tournament. Australia to make the semis LOL.................. Only joking..........................but we can dream, cant we? Well, after getting turned over by the Germans we'll recover to draw against Serbia and punish Ghana - then it's an easy stroll past the Poms in the second round. Suddenly we're in the quarters!

macca888 Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 I like the visions produced by your collective dementia One thing we Aussies are not short of is confidence in our sports men and women. I mean, just look at that wonderful talent, Samanatha Stosur in the French Open, our talented cricketers, great golfers, and remember, the world champions only beat us last time with a cheating diving bastard left back to get a last minute penalty when we were on top. Yeah, you never know with us Aussies. We can cause upsets. In fact, if we did get through and played Engerland, we would probably beat you guys, judging by your woeful performance against Japan Yep, we can dream..................LOL Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest firetotheworks Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 I think I'd put money on Spain if they'd won it before/Argentina didn't get knocked out despite being easily the best team in '06. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
54 Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 i have a gut feeling on Argentina they have the worlds best player on their team and madona seems to know what hes doing, and jonas is on their team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

France will pull it together in the end imo, atleast through the group stages. All the groups seem really intriguing tbh, I can't wait for it to start. Yeah, Chile are probably the team I'm most intrigued by. Hitzfeld's experience could be crucial ultimately. Group B is pretty hard to predict: Argies and then take your pick, I can't see much difference in quality between the other 3. Didn't know about Mikel getting injured, though. Greece look pretty shit atm so South Korea could indeed sneak it, possibly on goal difference/head to head. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 I think USA will finish above England, I don't know why. Just seems like the natural thing to happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 2006 favourites: Brazil eliminated in the quarters 2002 favourites: France eliminated in groups without scoring 1998 favourites: Brazil lost in the final ......is why i'm doubtful of Spain. They've clearly been the best team in the world for 2 years, but it can't be that straightforward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
