World Cup 2006

[karoaper]

June is coming folks. ESPN has promised to broadcast all 64 games of the Cup. Plus it's not in freagin Korea, meaning I don't have to stay up till 5 am to watch a game. Moreover, the games are all in the afternoon-evening (in Germany), so stateside games usually early-to-late morning (for MST at least).

Anyways, what are your favorite teams and your projections for the top three places?

I personally love Brazil, "The Azures" (Italy), and France (in that order). I think even with all the new talent out there, Brazil will still get the top place. So I think it'll be:

1. Brazil.
2. England.
3. Germany/Spain.

Re: World Cup 2006

France, Germany, Spain, Argentina, and Italy are all ballers. England, too. I've always hated Brazil, because of their history with France.

England is the unknown this time with a new kid on the roster. Whatever this kid does though, England has pedigree, they have tremendous individual talent (vets most of em), they have a great squad teamwork. Waine Rooney did just come off a bad injury so I don't know what he'll do, but this is a team that has powerful presence during each World Cup.

David James
Robert Green

Both Rooney and Owen are injured most likely Rooney wont play, Theo is 17 or whatever. They got nothing up front, you put that to an Argenitina or Italian defence and they wont even have a shot on goal

France
Spain
Italy
Brazil
Argentina

underdogs Serbia or Croatia

Re: World Cup 2006

Actually, I think that Brazil, Italy and Argentina will likely be the ones to rise to the top.
