June 13, 200619 yr I'd rather Italy - It'll get one of them out then!! Lol yeah but Italy aren't as good as they were - nor are France lol. I think the Czechs stand a better chance than Italy atm. :mellow:
June 13, 200619 yr I think Czech's are too old to go a long way. The difference between Italy and France is that Italy's newer players seem to be a much better quality. I think they can go far as they're strong defensively...
June 13, 200619 yr Italy would RUIN the match if they were to get Brazil. It'd be so boring. Czech V Brazil would be a much more open, entertaining match.
June 13, 200619 yr Final Score Brazil 1 - 0 Croatia Brazil finished very strong. Brazil will probably win the group now. I still think Croatia could be in with a shot of qualifying but they face strong competition from the aussies for 2nd place IMO.
June 13, 200619 yr Brazil really didn't look too good at all. Ronaldo was AWFUL. How he lasted a good 60/70 minutes is beyond me. Croatia did look quite good though. They shown they can hold on to the ball well, which is never any easy feat against Brazil and they shown some good attacking with Prso at the helm.
June 13, 200619 yr I think Czech's are too old to go a long way. The difference between Italy and France is that Italy's newer players seem to be a much better quality. I think they can go far as they're strong defensively... That's the thing with Italy. They tend to discover their star players very late on. Take Gilardinho for example, he's got into the first team within the last year or two but he's like 24 now. Same goes for Pirlo. He was well into his 20s before he cracked the first time. That's probably quite a big factor in why they've not been successful recently ... because they have to keep overturning their first team every couple of years whereas, say England or Holland, are just building up a stable squad of fairly young players now, and they are starting to gel together now.
June 13, 200619 yr Table Placing/Team/played/gd/points 1. Australia 1 2 3 2. Brazil 1 1 3 3. Croatia 1 -1 0 4. Japan 1 -2 0 So Australia are the unlikely team to be top of the table after all teams have played 1 match! Next match is ironicly 1 V 2 and 3 V 4 so the table could look very diffrent after the next games!
June 14, 200619 yr Italy would RUIN the match if they were to get Brazil. It'd be so boring. Czech V Brazil would be a much more open, entertaining match. As an England fan I couldn't give two $h!ts... I'd much rather a stronger threat go out than through!

June 18, 200619 yr Urgh neither of those will be right... -_- Edited June 18, 200619 yr by RabbitFurCoat
June 18, 200619 yr Boring. I know the commentators were saying it was exciting but it just wasn't. Yeah fair play there was a penalty but all the long shooting has just been so predictable. The only one that even came close was the one that hit the bar.
June 18, 200619 yr I'm suprised Croatia are struggling so much actually. I thought they would find this game relatively easy tbh. Oh well, I still reckon they'll win 1-0 ^_^
June 18, 200619 yr Eugh 0-0, poor game. I still reckon Croatia will qualify though, after Brazil beat Australia and Japan and Croatia beat Australia. ^_^
