I'm just hoping to see a lot of great football, exciting matches and awesome goals. And some surprises would be good too!

I'd prefer to see (with Brazil out) a "new" champion like Czech Republic or Netherlands or Mexico...

I guess I'll support the US until they get knocked out, obviously they don't have a chance in hell. Most Americans don't care about this, but I tune in occasionally and it's enjoyable.

Brasil are my favorites and Ukraine as outsider. Other strong teams : Italy and Argentina. Holland will not do so good for they have a weak defense and midfield.

Is this just a superstitious thing, not wanting to tempt fate, or do the Brazilian people know something we don't? Everyone else thinks you guys are odds-on favourites......... ![Thumbs Up](https://www.progarchives.com/forum/smileys/smiley20.gif)

World Champion Germany 2006: Brasil-England 2-0
Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, Messi, Van Nistelrooij, Lampard, Owen, Van Persie, Fabregas and Drogba will be the eyecatchers, in a positive way ![Clap](https://www.progarchives.com/forum/smileys/smiley32.gif) !

Currently, these players are just nursing minor injuries. It might be minor, but it might stop them from winning against the US and Italy.

Tie against BOTH Ecuador and Germany? Not a chance. Maybe draw with one of them and a loss. They might beat Costa Rica, but I see them drawing with CR.

We are concerned that presently to win twice in a row is very difficult... I guess (except for the most fanatics) that people here will be satisfied if we advance until the quarter-finals. ![Smile](https://www.progarchives.com/forum/smileys/smiley1.gif)
However, present Brazilian team is better than 2002 team but for a short tournament where you can decide the result via penalty kicks, everything is possible.
For imoeng: the other team in the group is Croatia.
For US fans: USA Soccer Team is improving from Cup to Cup; it's their 5th World Cup in a row. IMO considering the support given to sports, the ethnic diversity and the funds, I believe that USA have great chances to become a football power soon.
For Poland fans: I saw great Polish teams in the 70s... but I confess that I knew few about the present team. If they play like Boniek, Deyna, Lato, Gadocha, etc did in the past then they're serious candidates to be in the semi-finals, at least.

Opening game syndrome usually means draw or low score.
Costa Rica arent really good enough to be in the competition so I predict: 2-0. I wouldnt be surprised if it was 4-0!
Poland v Ecuador difficult,maybe 0-0 or 1-1.

It was an alright game. As you guys said it the defense was weak, yet the 2nd goal was definitely offside.
Ecuador played a really nice game, Poland was hugely disappointing though. Don't think Germany will have problems beating them.

We're completely happy over here...I really expected a draw, but we knew we could eventually beat Poland...some were sckeptical because of the winning of Poland 3-0 in our last game 7 months ago.
We know we are not favorites, we are just playing with honour...You're right Atkingani our playing doesn't impress that much...but we can complicate our rivals enough to do a decent match...Hope we can beat CR though they made a terrific debut. They lose but Wanchope can cause us a great headache...
Hope Argentina and Paraguay can make a great game!!!
Viva Ecuador!!!!

Maybe second in the group and a green light to the next phase... Ecuador will do a great feature for its second World Cup participation. ![Clap](https://www.progarchives.com/forum/smileys/smiley32.gif)

Ecuador has a diversity of regions and two of them are populated in its majority by black people the northest of the coastiside Esmeraldas Province and a little town located in Imbabura province called El Juncal...the players you see today are from those regions just two or three not. Esmeraldas and El Juncal are the nest of our future in football (or soccer if you like). Esmeraldas has always been a producer of players...that's why you saw too much blacks...and many people thinks that only indians inhabitate our country...
You find a lot of races here... ![Big smile](https://www.progarchives.com/forum/smileys/smiley4.gif)

Any other American Football (soccer) fans out there? I seem to be the only American who enjoys football, other then mexican emigrants. I only saw a little of the Germany/Costa Rica game, but according to espn, they won 4-2 and i saw the Ecuador knocked off Poland 2-0 were there any other matches today?

Today it really starts:
- England-Paraguay (our foster parent child Elias lives in Paraguay but I go for England
![Embarrassed](https://www.progarchives.com/forum/smileys/smiley9.gif) )
- Trinidad & Tobago-Sweden (T&T has a Dutch coach, Leo Beenhakker)
- Argentina-Ivory Coast (I hope Messi will play at least half the game and I am curious
to Drogba, it's a predator!).

What did you expect?
Actually, I expected our team to do better, too... but I'm hardly surprised by the result. With a following ten times smaller than Poland's and in less familiar atmospheric conditions, Ecuador still won 2:0.
Simply put - the better team won. My congratulations to the Ecuadorians ![Clap](https://www.progarchives.com/forum/smileys/smiley32.gif) .

Football often is very boring; but save your opinions for games in which both sides are more or less equal - such as England vs Paraguay today.

Congrats to Ecuador for a great result against Poland - I thought the 2 centre backs were awesome! A very patient team strategy, too........if Paraguay play the same way - and they must be encouraged - or maybe challenged? - by Ecuador's success, I reckon they'll provide England with more than a few problems....there's a definite sense here of the only unknown being by how many we will beat Paraguay.........can't help feeling such arrogance will turn round & bite us in the bum......incidentally, not sure Germany's tactic of planting their centre backs in the ground before the game will catch on....... ....a little mobility is usually advantageous for these guys......

Germany will win, of course; they always start rather badly into a
tournament and get better from match to match. This is much better than
the other way round. I remember being five years old when Germany won
the worldcup in 1974; it was probably all the excitement of the
grown-ups what got me in to football. And of course my whole family
being die-hard fans of German football club Schalke 04.
