England v Sweden I'm really lookin forward to. 20th June I'll be down the local, surrounded by just enough pints to last the match.
I got a good feeling this year, not at all like the one I had four years ago!

And in the end, they all cheered for the Dutch

:(

Netherlands - Australia in 3 hrs! Two of the four dutch coaches attending the World Cup, how weird is that... I think every country should have a coach with the same nationality... They're part of the team too!

In case you're wondering...:

Marco van Basten - The Netherlands
Guus Hiddink - Australia
Dick Advocaat - South Korea
Leo Beenhakker - Trinidad & Tobago

Title changed :(
I think Brazil has possibilities to win, but its team isn't as superior as past years.
Spain's team this year is a bit weak, I don't know if we'll pass the first round lol

Portugal has a great team. I think they have potential to make it far. USA surprisingly is ranked pretty high but I'm not sure why. I would love to see them make it out of their bracket but don't think they will.

Is it wrong that I don't care who wins the world cup? The place it's being held is most likely to be bombed. Although last time they had snipers and guys with anti-aircraft protection things on the roofs.

I don't think anything out there is going to keep soccer fans from the games, lets not remember when their were fireworks being thrown at the soccer players (Brazilian goalie, Dida for instance) ;)

Also, I think holland has a good chance this year, as for england, I don't really like them much just cause of last world cup! They have such good players but I don't know whats stopping them!

Holland are an awesome side, ORANGE!! lol

The problem with england is we reply on names. You ask people to name the whole england squad (or starting 11) and you will get Ro0ney, Beckham, Owen and maybe 1/2 others. No one thinks as England as a team, and this has been shown by Ro0ney being injured.

Frankly, i think its more gutting that Green's injured himself, (then again as a norwich supporter i would lol)
