Who Cares?

I hope someone is around to collect their oscar for best acting to gain a penalty, best cynical foul, most overpaid for poorest performance, best hairdo and team that has the most changes of strip to gain best sales of replica award. Have I missed anything out?

Group E is the most interesting in terms of not really knowing who will come behind Italy and take the second spot... Czech Republic, Ghana or USA... could be interesting.

I want Sweden to do well, because they have brought so much excellent music over the past 20 years or so.

England won't win it, sorry!

  1. Group A: Germany - Polland...Germany at any cost, Polland just logic
  2. Group B: England - Paraguay...England a great team, Paraguay hard to beat, if they nail a goal, you're lost.
  3. Group C: Argentina - Holland..Argentina has to pass that's politics, Holland is my candidate
  4. Group D: Mexico - Portugal....Portugal is the best of the group, maybe Angola will surprise.
  5. Group E: Czech Rep - USA...Italy can't always win only with a strong defence.
  6. Group F: Brazil - Japan.....Watch out with Japan!!!
  7. Group G: France - South Korea...Idem South Korea
  8. Group H: Tunisia - Ukraine...Spain always dissapoints everybody.

Ivan, Angola will not surprise , Mexico is maybe the weakest Head Group but , carefull with them,  i know, im mexican and of course i love my team, but to be honest for me Mexico is even better than Portugal, you will see it

About Italy, Vieri, Gilardino, Luca Toni, Del Piero, Iaquinta, all of them are excellent forwards ,for me Italy has strong deffence and strong attack

Spain always dissapoints everybody , its true

I saw a game by Angola and believe me they are not a piece of cake, they are tall strong, fast and with good knowledge of systems.

Italy always has great forwards, just remember Toto Schilacci, Paolo Rossi or Baggio  but their system is mean, they use the cattenaccio (however it's written) one of the most horrible systems for Football one goal and then they forget of the original 4-5-1 (with three or four defensive midfielders and only one real forward what is already mean for a team as Italy) and replace it for a 1 - 10 (All in the defence usibng the tactic of the bat, all hanguing from the post).

Spain is not new, always the same, the problem is that their football is overrated because they use 5 or 6 foreigners for team, but look at Real Madrid, it's just a waste of money.
