My bet goes to Italy or England. (well i am English)

Italy if they win their group will have a easy time getting to the final

and anything can happen with England with Beckham fit :goodjob:

I thought England would be hard pushed to get first in their group. So this would mean that they would face France in the second round. However having seen their first game I think we can take them. Our rivals then would probably be Argentina (due a victory over them), Portugal (good but not unbeatable), Germany (5-1), Brazil (always a threat but dodgy defence) and possibly Cameroon (strong but also lacking at the back). The biggest problem I can see is Italy who I think will eventually raise the trophy.

Slovenia beat France the world champions, the favourites, so it could be said from this that they have a good chance as any to win it (although very unlikely :lol: )

damnz...

Argentina is going to win :D Against either Italy or Portugal. Spain'll get kicked out in the quarter-finals against Portugal.

You put England on here, but not the U.S.?

You are dreadfully misguided...;)

Seriously though, the U.S. might suprise some people this time around.

And if they don't, it's no big deal. We are the best in the world at Women's Soccer anyway.

BTW, I voted for Germany.

I voted for Argentina. Where I am the live games are on tv around 4:00 and 6:30 AM :mad:. I'm surprised no one voted for France with them having the no. 1 ranking.

Why exactly did Roy Keane not play.

I think South-Korea will suprise people even more, and Poland will show some routine in that poul, so.... You have John O'Brien though...

And Germany is better in women's football :D

I could submit to you a whole thesis on the subject but the contents therein would require a new thread

Argentina. Very exciting and unpredictable WC, overall, so hard to say surely.

I'm going to go with Italy since they have the greatest chance of getting to the final and then they only need to get one great result against the other finalist.

The moderator or administrator of this forum needs to add the US to this listing, they will win the World Cup.

Will they? Well they could but they have only played one game so far so it is not certain that they will even qualify for the next round. I wonder if some of the people who voted for Argentina feel like changing their votes now.

SLOVENIA will win the World Cup?? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
I wonder if any of you even know where and what is Slovenia?
It's a small country without any siginificant football tradition and history, and they are already packing back home because they lost last game from South Africa. Slovenia? Good joke! :goodjob:

I predict this:

semi-finale: Brasil, Germany, Croatia, Cameroon

finale: Brasil - Germany

1. Brasil
2. Germany
3. Cameroon
4. Croatia

Of course, I am not saying I'm god damn Nostrodamus but in this game everything is possible! I just wouldn't like to see England and Italy entering semi-finale. I don't like them. They are too much prepotentious. :frog:

Well you can remove France from your pool and put DENMARK instead and then my vote goes to Denmark with Italy as the runner up!

Sheesh, you guys would never make it as traders or soothsayers!

Argentina are out, and it's a good job that the World Cup isn't a democracy. :)
