Caris Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 France Hell Yeah! World ranking: 7 Odds: 10/1 Local view: "They won't do any better than quarter-finals. The team is too old, young players like Franck Ribery cannot break into the squad. Germany will be the twilight for the dinosaurs of the golden generation," Xavier Rivoire, French author.

AshMat Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 Hey, trinidad played well today! (Talking about all this "playing well" reminds me of Reginald D Hunter on 8 Out Of 10 Cats last night) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaggle64 Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 I'm quite surprised at my T&T. Ivory Coast did quite well today too, even if they did lose. I day for the underdog stories it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vascdan Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 World ranking: 1 Odds: 9/4 fav Local view: "The current generation is spectacular, perhaps the best ever. If Ronaldo hasn't worn himself out during the season, he can really put on a show. He can become their top scorer in World Cups and equal Pele by winning his third. I'm backing him and Brazil to pull it off." Flavio Orro, TV Globo. Our verdict: Even losing in the final will be seen as failure. Living up to such expectations will not be easy. They all have European experience, but so did the majority in 1998. With their talent the status of favourites is clearly justified and win or lose, there should be some moments of magic to cherish. Brazil, of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brazil, of course Thats what i agree with, the world cup is their stage. brazil are a team that have talent that can play of each other so well. Some teams like holland, they have incredible players, but find it harder to play as a team, same goes with portugal i think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roostophe Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 UKRAJINA! UKRAJINA! UKRAJINA! UKRAJINA! I might just get into the quarter finals. Perhaps the people of "Helvetia" should pray to Helvetia that they'll beat Ukrajina. Because I beg to differ. The quarter finals will be where we finish.
