FIFA World Cup 2006 - Germany

[scribblec]

england arent going anywhere this time, they have as much chance of winning the world cup as turkey and turkey arent even in it, they will be relying on a strike partnership of a giant who doesnt know how to score and a 17 year old yet to play a premiership game, how can they expect to win when they are relying on lampard to score all the goals ? we all know that lampard and gerrard dont make the best partnership even though they are brilliant seperatly... and need i start on that twit of a player beckham?

If the WWE guys were writing this World Cup we'd see a final pitting the good guys USA against the might of the evil-doing Iran. USA would win (of course) after a botched run-in by North Korea and Cuba all carrying steel chairs.

why u think US will win, didnt u see iran wining at France98.
anyway my 1st hope is argentine 2nd is italia but its more likely that brazil will win cuz as 'DorisInsinuate' said thier more power full then what they were, ronaldinio is at his top his almost single handeling the barca these days.

[scribblec]

yea, what i wouldnt give to be the manager of brazil...


Ronaldo adriano
ronaldinho
Robinho Kaka
emerson
carlos lucio luisao cafu
Dida


just the thought of watching them all play on one pitch gets me excited

was looking forward to watching rooney play aswell, i have high admiration for him

You're totally right, if you beat a team eight years ago you own their souls and they will never be able to beat you again.

That's a bit harsh, Owen's had 7 goals in 11 appearences this season. I never really considered him a tall player though

was talking about crouch...

owen is very unlikly to play and rooney is a certainty to be out

Where the feck are you getting your information from.

Owen played for Newcastle over a week ago and will certainly play at least some part in the tournament and it's by no means certain that Rooney is out of the whole tournament.

Another thing is that you presume that England will play two strikers up front, they hardly ever do that, prefering instead to play Rooney just behind the lone striker as a link man, the most likely scenario to incorporate his ostensible absence is to play Joe Cole there instead.

To be fair scrib is a girl so she can't be expected to talk too much sense about football. In case you've forgotten here is the football knowledge table:

1. People
2. Americans
3. Girls
4. Gays
5. Plants and small animals

No wingers and a midfield far too top heavy, they are beatable.

Robinho can't play on the left wing at all and by pushing Kaka out wide right you're pratically losing all of his creativeness. I think a better idea would be to play something more like this.

---------------Adriano--------------- <--Striker
--------Kaka-Ronaldinho-Robinho----- <-- 3 AMC's
------------------------------------ <--- 0 MC's
Carlos-------Emerson---DMC--------Cafu <--- 2 Wing backs for width and 2DMC's for protection when they go forward.
------------DC--------DC------------ <---- 2 DC's.

DMC could be Baptista (He's played almost all of his life as DMC/MC and only recently gone striker. The DC's personally should be Lucio and then one of Alex (PSV), Cris (Lyon) or Juan (Weder Bremen).

Cafu and Carlos to provide crossing width but not cut inside and to get back into a flat back 4 when they dont have the ball.

Also Dida's been having a shocking season and has already been warned but the Brazilian coach if he doesn't improve he won't be starting. That opens up the door for Julio Cesar from Inter.

What's this run DMC pish all about.
