Robben is hopefully not out - he's coming to SA, anyway. Legolas Send a noteboard - 08/06/2010 08:24:21 AM
My country isn't there despite having some talented players lately, so I find myself forced to support Holland, as long as I can ignore the smugness and arrogance and just focus on the good football. And Argentina, where I might have much the same problem. Hmmm.

I agree that Spain can get far, at least assuming that Euro 2008 broke the curse of the big tournaments for them. I guess they and Brazil have to be considered the frontrunners for now - Argentina made it through the qualifications too narrowly to be considered a favourite until they've shown us something at the actual World Cup.

Spain are easily the best, but I think they'll choke. Liam - 08/06/2010 08:21:03 AM 900 Views

Killen is so confident that he's booked his honeymoon for the same time as the playoffs. Brilliant. *NM* Liam - 08/06/2010 08:43:52 AM 304 Views

Additional freakish statistic: Spain have won 96% of matches under Vicente del Bosque. Liam - 08/06/2010 09:39:37 AM 472 Views
Is any national team good enough defensively to "pull an Inter"? Legolas - 08/06/2010 09:57:43 AM 521 Views
Italy? Monkey - 08/06/2010 10:05:20 AM 510 Views
Makes sense. They've done it before, and it's always the national team strategy... Michael - 08/06/2010 10:08:13 AM 462 Views
But that requires Italy to actually play well Monkey - 08/06/2010 10:21:39 AM 521 Views
Meh. Look at Italy's defenders. Legolas - 08/06/2010 10:24:27 AM 448 Views

Well, not quite in the same manner as Inter. That was, as you said, insane. Liam - 08/06/2010 10:37:45 AM 602 Views

My team won't win... Michael - 08/06/2010 10:06:57 AM 537 Views
That's not really your team though, is it? Monkey - 08/06/2010 10:25:44 AM 452 Views

I thought there might be a ritual sacrifice of vacuum cleaners to cleanse the game. Rebekah - 08/06/2010 02:13:22 PM 481 Views
More like a ritual sacrifice of French footballers Elaine - 08/06/2010 02:36:33 PM 550 Views
Oh, but if Drogba does play then Ivory Coast have a great shot at the quarters Monkey - 08/06/2010 10:15:05 AM 473 Views
That's like saying England would have a home advantage in Russia. *NM* Legolas - 08/06/2010 10:25:22 AM 307 Views
