Hey, where's Poland?
Seriously, Brasil has never won in Europe but maybe it will be their first time?

Yes, sleeper, Brazil and England have presently the most consistent teams... but it does not mean that they will win or even reach the finals. The World Cup isn't really a championship but a knock-out tournament: a bad day, a tie with penalty kicks, a referee error, an injuried important player, etc, may cause the elimination of a favorite. For some strange reason I have the impression that a "new" champion may appear: Netherlands, Czech, Spain...
 
About the Brazilian record in Europe, statistics and history tell a different tale:
- Brazil is the only non-European to win in Europe (1958). No European ever won outside Europe.
- Brazil was the first South American to reach the semis in Europe (1938).
- Brazil was also 4th, in 1974 and runner-up, in 1998.
- No European has such a record in South America.
 
Playing against the Germans in Germany, Brazil won twice more! And if you remember last year, we won the Confederation Cup (played in Germany, again), defeating Germany and Argentina. Smile 
 
 
Last I heard Germany wernt that good a team (though I would never count them out in a tournament) and Englandalso had a close victory over Argie last year as well. I just wish we'ed stop scoreing the winning goal in the 93rd minute.

I would like to say Argentina, as we have a good team...but we are in the worst or better yet in the most difficult group...Brazil and Germany have it so easy...and its always like this with Argentina...I think its a conspirecy....well, Im sure Netherlands and the other two countrys (which I dont know how to write in english) are as scared of the competition as we are...any thoughts on this Erik???
I hope the new "wonderboy" Mezzi shows of all his skills...I dont want to see Argentina as a looser from that group!!!ConfusedConfusedConfusedConfused

Don't worry: Argentina and the Netherlands will qualify from this group. After that, we can only meet again in the finals Big smile

Yes, Messi is the 2006's revelation Clap !! And we've got Carlitos Tevez, Mascherano, Crespo, (but Aguero has to be on the team)...... and Abbondanzieri...... go out !!! You know what I mean.
