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

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

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..

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.

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

. We should've taken Germany's spot, we'd have half a chance then

.
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.

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.

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

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.

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...

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

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

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!
