Holland always choke. I reckon Brazil as well, though it would be nice if we had another "minnow" team win like Euro 2004. Trinidad & Tobago anyone?Originally Posted by maebach
I don't think so, there'll be alot of pressure on them. They might play like France did in the 2002WC. I think Holland will win, they've got good players and Nistelrooy is good at scoring cheap goals.

Last night I dreamed that Santiago Munez was wreaking teh pwnage for Newcastle - he didn't have a face, but feck he was good.

If we're all sticking our necks out () and offering tips for WC2006 - I'm going to go for Italy. It would give Serie A a shot in the arm and stop the La Liga aficionados being so smug about the place.
I plan on beating him to death with his kids. I'll use them as a bludgeon on his face. -

France did so poorly because they built the team around Zidane, and he only played one match (or none, i can't remember).I don't think so, there'll be alot of pressure on them. They might play like France did in the 2002WC.
The difference with Brazil is they have so much depth in the squad. They have four of the best strikers in the world in there. Although i don't think they can really replace Cafu if he was injured, not that'll it'll hurt them much.

They can, easily. Cicinho is widely thought to be better than the aging Cafu - who gets in the team mainly on reputation. Expect him to retire after the WC.France did so poorly because they built the team around Zidane, and he only played one match (or none, i can't remember).

The only thing that will beat Brazil is Brazil. There isn't much harmony within their squad, their European based players have huge egos and often ride roughshod over the manager - who is always under intense pressure to pick players based in Brazil. This time I expect there will only be two or three of those and if he doesn't pick them, the Brazillian press will vilify him.

Feck I'll just be happy if Scotland get thro' to the knockout stages, for the first time ever.

According to this:
Teh Engerland can't be in the same group as Germany, but having USA and Japan in the same group is possible - they could also get drawn with the Netherlands, who have missed out on getting a top 8 seeding - somewhat unfairly given their lofty world ranking.
Interestingly, in 2002 England were pushed down to 9th place, thus fractionally missing out on being a top seed, because both Japan and S. Korea enjoyed top seeding staus as co-hosts. Hence were drawn in that tricky group with Argentina, Sweden and ... Nigeria, was it?
