June 5, 200619 yr Watch out for Ivory Coast, they have some VERY good players, they are my dark horses for the tournament (no racism intended in that figure of speech)
June 5, 200619 yr Watch out for Ivory Coast, they have some VERY good players, they are my dark horses for the tournament (no racism intended in that figure of speech) Hmm, maybe another 'Senegal' incident....? I still laugh to myself when I think of them beating the arrogant French in the last one.... :lol: :lol: I think the term 'dark horses' is a bit unfortunate mate (although I dont think you meant any harm..), perhaps the term 'surprise package' maybe.....??
June 5, 200619 yr we won't. brazil most likely, then argentina then some country like italy or germany, i don't think we'll even get into the final personally.

June 5, 200619 yr You'll get dumped in the QFs again I reckon.... yeah i think the same but..... least we qualified :P

Yeah I couldn't think of another phrase :blush: so I ran with "dark horses" with a disclaimer on the end as it did look a little dodgy :o but I couldn't think of another term But yeah I meant the term in good faith :)
June 5, 200619 yr Well our penalties aren't looking too good at the moment so if we can SOMEHOW avoid going to penalites then we this is the best chance we've had of winning since 1990. ^_^ I even bought a Rooney shirt (I still have faith he'll play) for £15 (70% off :o :cheer: )

About Ivory Coast though, they are a really good side and I think if they had been put in another group then they would probably have qualified, but the group they are in is easily the hardest group of the groups and every team in the group has the potential to do well at the World Cup. Personally I think that Holland and Serbia and Montenegro will qualify from "the group of death".
June 5, 200619 yr I went out expecting to pay about £35 but at £15 I just could not resist :dancing: I bought a home shirt as they didn't have any Rooney away shirts (but I probably would have bought the home shirt anyway) I still stick by my tip for Argentina to win the whole thing but I think now Serbia & Montenegro will be the team that qualifies with them but it'll be close. ;)
June 5, 200619 yr Watch out for Ivory Coast, they have some VERY good players, they are my dark horses for the tournament (no racism intended in that figure of speech) I've been saying this for MONTHS. And to be fair, they seem to be EVERYONES suprise package at the moment. Just go on the BBC Sport website and look at the presenters verdicts.
June 5, 200619 yr Author My predicted last 4 England Brazil Germany Ivory Coast England will beat Germany Brazil will beat Ivory Coast England will beat Brazil 2-0 in the final Ivory Coast in the semi's ? :huh:
June 5, 200619 yr No. ANY combination is possible. There are 396 possible finals... Woah. In that case I stand corrected.
June 5, 200619 yr Brazil will meet England in the semi's if they both finish in the same place in their groups. If one finishes 1st and one 2nd they can't meet until the final.
June 5, 200619 yr Brazil will meet England in the semi's if they both finish in the same place in their groups. If one finishes 1st and one 2nd they can't meet until the final. Which pleases me somwhat. Me believing that the only team able to really threaten England will be Brazil it gives me some hope that we can get further than the Semi's :D
June 5, 200619 yr Brazil or Holland will win. Ever year the England team believe their own hype and muck up at the crucial stages. They blame everyone else except themselves, which, coincidently, has happened at every world cup since 1966. FACT.
June 5, 200619 yr IMO the odds are really stacked against Holland now. Not only do they have to get through the hardest group in the World Cup, but they also have some big injury worries with some key players.
June 5, 200619 yr Yeah wasn't it 3 big injuries against Australia? Cocu, Snjeider (sp?) and Van Der Vaart?
