thanks, but it ain't my sheet. It's from the Spiegel, a famous german magazine, probably comparable to the time magazine..

Don't forget El Tigre, RamírezMCdread said:Paraguay has been for the past decade consistently the 3rd best south american team and are a very organised team, with quality players in defence (Gamarra), midfield (Paredes) and attack (Santa Cruz).
Stapel said:Every single nation from pot 2 or pot 4 is so horribly poor, that all other teams should be in the next round.
There will, as always, be some exceptions, though.
Also, S&M are not that bad.
MCdread said:For Group B, I see many people mentioning England and Sweden, which seems fair, but forgeting Paraguay. Paraguay has been for the past decade consistently the 3rd best south american team and are a very organised team, with quality players in defence (Gamarra), midfield (Paredes) and attack (Santa Cruz). I think England will qualify, but I don't see such an overwhelming favouritism of Sweden over the Guaranis.

FredLC said:Can this mean that these have fallen behind, instead of the assumption whiuch is being held that it's actually the new teams which improved? Yes, it can. However, it's not what we have been hearing from the press here.
Stapel said:Dell, col, Willem,
Ghana, Cd'I and Tunesia are all total crap and have nothing to seek on a WC.
hmm...still if I'm on your place (holland), I guess I would preferd Swis, Croatia or..even Spain better.Stapel said:But it should absolutely be easy.
S&M are not that good.
Stapel said:And we have the home advantage. The stadiums will be filled with Orange!
I would think the old formula "Win one, tie two" might still work here.Dell19 said:I thought Santa Cruz was a doubt for Paraguay for the World Cup? I have a feeling that we will probably draw with them in the first game but expect Sweden to win a close game and then both European teams to go through after drawing the last game or possibly England winning.
Stapel said:MCdread, do you really think Croatia and Japan are on the same level ?
