Go New Zealand! Can't believe they beat Serbia who had Vidic, Zigic, Subotic, Kolarov and Pantelic so it was a pretty decent Serbian team. I agree with what DeathSin says, someone who actually knows something about football unlike that other guy.

[quote] DeathSin921 : Brazil will probably win it. Playing attractive style doesn't necessary win you anything. Look at Inter Milan this season. They played very well organized, while being able to create chances on counter attacks. And if you actually watch any Spanish games you would understand. Spain struggled against Saudi Arabia (although they're not a bad team). Aragones did well in Euro 2008 to make the players defend. Spain had so many lapse of concentration in their defense today. And although Del Bosque attempted to replace by playing two holding mids, Xabi and Busquets, they're simply not natural tacklers who can win the ball back. By the way, I didn't say Germany will flop. Just that Ballack will probably be missed. Yes England beat Mexico, but did you actually watch the game? Mexico was a much better side and 3-1 result was very harsh. You could see in the second half, they did not attempt to get back in the game. England may have looked good in a friendly against Mexico, but I don't think they will stand against a better side. Glen Johnson got the man of the match, who was pretty more aside from the game which shows how terrible they were. Peter Crouch's goal was offside and a handball, and I don't remember the other goal, but the scored could have easily been 1-1 or even 1-3 to Mexico had they took their chances. I guess I was not very clear, but Mexico will have a decent run on their standards, while England will not considering how many people think THIS is their year, like every 4 years... The game against Netherlands, it's not like they were outclassed by the Dutch. Mexico's defense had an off day. Both goals were pretty poor marking the defense. (Not taking anything away from RVP, as it was a great finish). But of course if the defense don't stay consistent Mexico will be in trouble. I think Mexico can reach the 16's or maybe even quarterfinals. [/quote] In the Mexico-Netherlands Game, Schneider and Robben werent in, cuz Mexico plays rough style football, so I think the score would be much higher if they were in. And I doubt Spain would get past the quarters. They could beat small teams but wont last against big teams, not enough teamwork, just individual talent

Australia's gonna get owned by Germany I think, unless Cahill pulls off a stunner and destroys the Germans.

Spain to win. Italy to dive and defend their way into the finals. England to choke like they do every for years.
