Why are Germany second favourites ? :huh: Yeah, they're the home nation but they have a terrible squad and wont get far IMO.

I predicted them to go in the first round the last time and they got to the final. :lol:

Who does them rediculous rankings ?? Clearly Czech Republic and Mexico are no where near as good as England, France, Portugal, Spain & Italy etc...
Ivory Coast and the USA will be the suprise packages of this years World Cup in my opinion. Ivory Coast looked strong with ALL their qualifiers and only managed to concede once. They've got players like Drogba and Eboue so I don't think they'll do too badly at all. USA have almost been rebuilt from ground upwards and, sure, their squad may not be the strongest but they are a consistent team as any. West Ham anyone?

Wow, that proves my theory wrong then.

 

I still think they'll be quite a force in the World Cup though, providing they can manage to get past the group of death.

Oh and I reckon it'll be an Argentina V Brazil Final with Argentina winning it.

That's what I predicted in the predictor game. :lol:

Same here, but I doubt they'll get out of their group. The toughest one of them all IMO. Having Holland, Argentina and Serbia & Montenegro in it. I can't see them getting anything from Holland and Argentina.

I would've said that they'd be a surprise package but as I think the Argies and Holland are two of the best teams in it I now think they'll go out 1st round...
Can serbia and monternegro still enter as yesterday they voted to be seperate from each other!
Brazil's odds are ridiculous IMO, as I personally don't think they'll win. I think they'll go far but won't win; personally I think it will be England or Germany.
