True. Australia are miles behind most countries in the football stakes, I'm not digging you aussie folks but you have to admit it's not your countries first sport. Where as in England it's religious to most people. But I would love to see you get one over Brazil, definitely be supporting The Socceroos.

I think our group (Englands) is a fair enough group, we always seem to get Sweden must be a Sven thing, if only our manager was from Ivory Coast lol. And Trinidad and Tobago eh, they have a few English based players, they'll be well up for it.

Should be good, I might do a bet on Ivory Coast to get through their group. It's a tough one indeed. The odds wil be fairly nice shifty.gif


It will definetly be a stepping stone in Australias footballing history, but it will be a long shot to defeat Brasil, they are the best footballing nation ever tongue.gif if they get one over Japan, it will be a nice milestone, but it will take more than strength and speed to overcome Croatia and Brasil, its just not Australias passionate sport..................yet..
RPatel
Very happy with the draw for England. Looks like we'll be having a go at Sweden again though. Trinidad & Tobago have a couple of good players which might do well. And Paraguay are a good upcoming side.

Goo Holland!.. we have beaten Argentina more than once.. hehe and other ones in our group might be challenging.. Anyways..I'm confident we will pass first round.. biggrin.gif biggrin.gif

Oh btw we are in the DEATH group woot! ohmy.gif

also, is there any way to find out which matches have tickets still available? i want to get tickets to the semifinal match in munich, where i'll be for a while this summer.

Definately looking towards the Argentina vs Holland game. That's going to be a brilliant encounter.

Australia's stuffed. Croatia and Brazil. Hell, even Japan could probably beat us sad.gif. We should've taken Germany's spot, we'd have half a chance then smile.gif.

I was about to say that, i think that is the hardest group, Croatia and Japan are very tough teams, and well, we all know about Brasil.

I'll be impressed if you Aussies make it through group stage, i hope you do, but i can't see it happeneing.
Good luck.


*edit* ^Paul - that's what made me stop watching it.

England should win this time. Even Pele has said that the only team looking to challenge Brazil is England. Go England Go!!!

Germany has lost it, France has lost it, Sweeden has lost it, Italy has lost it, what's there to hope more for in Europe than England.

I think Germans have great chances to win too. Actually i think they have more chances than England.
robertobaggio2k
its al about italy....if toni keeps his scoring everygame like he doe sin serie A, italy should go far, on top of that we got other great players and a much better coach, who i think will make the difference for the past. GO ITALY!!!!!!!!!!!

Stop being overly opiniated towards Brazil. Practically every single post you make says that Brazil are better than England, England and Europe suck etc.

No one has said that Brazil are not a good team, we respect Brazil, but people like yourself really tick me and other people off with what you say.

Oh hush. If you know football at all ... which you probably don't since Brazil's national league is so poor ... you'll know that any team can beat any other team on it's day. England have some of the best players in the world in Beckham, Owen, Rooney and Lampard.

Personally I think that England will play Brazil in the semis and the winner of that game will go on to win the World Cup.

I don't know who will win the world cup next year, but it certainly isn't going to be Brazil
Daviesbad04
So, yet again, Brazil got an easy group.

The US also got a fairly challenge less group of opponents.

As for Costa Rica (Who Im rooting for the most), first game of the cup is with them vs. Germany.

GO COSTA RICA!!

That does it, stop being an asshole!

I must remind you that Brazil and Portugal were part of the World Cup 66's group C:

QUOTE

Group C:
Portugal
Hungary

Brazil
Bulgaria

Do you know why the team list is like that? Because we won all the games in our group and you were kicked out of the competition!
QUOTE

The tournament got underway with England and Uruguay playing a goalless draw at Wembley.
England qualified from their group as winners without conceding a goal.
The new top team in world football was Portugal.
They won all their three first round games and even knocked out twice winner's of the cup Brazil. Pelé just as in 1962 got kicked out of the competition.
Another surprise was North Korea's contribution to this World Cup. Their victory over Italy is one of the all-time greatest shocks in world football. The defeat sent Italy home as well.

England beat Argentina in a match England coach Alf Ramsey described the South Americans as "Animals".
He refused to let his players swap shirts with them after the match!
North Korea led 3-0 over Portugal at one stage and looked like reaching the semis, but then Eusébio knocked in four goals and Portugal eventually won 5-3.

The semifinals saw the Germans beat the Soviet Union 2-1.
A young Franz Beckenbauer scored West Germany's second goal.

Bobby Charlton stopped Portugal and Eusébio's run in the World Cup when he scored twice to send England to the final. Eusebio scored his ninth goal in the bronze match when Portugal beat the Soviet Union, and that was some consolation.
The final produced lots of drama as England faced West Germany at Wembley. England eventually won in extra-time and became the third host nation to win the World Cup.


QUOTE
TOPSCORERS
Eusébio (POR) 9 goals
Helmut Haller (GER) 5 goals
Geoff Hurst (ENG) 4 goals
Franz Beckenbauer (GER) 4 goals
Valeri Porkujan (SOV) 4 goals
Ferenc Bené (HUN) 4 goals


We are proud of our team and we'll always be proud of them! And I don't need you to bash other people's teams and countinents! Kthx.

I thought this was a tough draw for the US...isn't the Czech Republic and Italy supposed to be pretty tough? I'm not a huge soccer fan or anything, but I'm definatly trying to keep up with it this time and learn some...I think if people in the US were as fired up over soccer as other countries it would be hella fun to watch and play...

I dunno, don't France have some decent players? I'm expecting Zidane, Henry and Pires to play a huge role - unless they're beaten by an unseeded African team like last time tongue.gif.

damn, Brazils league is soo poor, so poor in fact that Sao Paulo managed to beat the European champions, Liverpool (which is rich and from England), and became World Champions? Imagine if Brazils league, heh even Argentinas, had as much money as their European counterparts?

Probably will be England vs Brazil semi final, what an encounter biggrin.gif

and Matheus, please shut ur mouth, heh its not even worth arguing with him over the net guys, he just does it for fun wink.gif

Vieira, Zidane, Trezeguet, Henry, Cisse are probably Frances start players.

They are not as good as they once were, many of their best players have ages (eg: Thuram, Desailly, Zidane, Pires etc).

I highly dout that France will win the World Cup, but anything is possible.

Personally, I think Brazil have a very good chance of winning the World Cup, know one can deny that. They are not as good as Mateus says, but they are still a good team wink.gif

if you look at some off his previous comments i wouldn't listen to him! I remember the England vs Argentina incident, he was soo sure that Argentina was gonna beat England, England was 2-1 down, so he decided to post a lot of BS about us losing only problem, there was 15 mins left of the game. And everyone knows what happened in those 15 minutes!

So just look at his posts and just laugh!
Krpano
Matheus you dumb****....stop this bull****.
With your stupid comments now everybody hate brazil.....even me, im starting to want to see brazil eliminated soon in the wc06 just to see your **** reaction.
The image you show about Brazil doesnt reflect our ppl.
I dont know from what hole you came out, but i hope you will return soon.

I, more than anybody else think that we have the best national team today but your way to epxress that became out of control.

I started this thread so we could discuss about the next world cup with inteligence.
But because of you it is turning into a insult thing, i contacted a mod about your behaviour and i hope they will stop your crap. (but do not lock this thread)

I would like to discuss my opinions and how i think Brazil could win the next world cup, but now i cant because im afraid to look retard like you.

You are shame to our ppl.
