Englands group will be Holland, Australia and the USA. Just because that's how it always is for us

**zanex** · 12-09-2005, 10:32 AM

PORTUGAL WILL WIN THAT EASY

not really...

**Chichio** · 12-09-2005, 10:36 AM

To be completely honest Brazil looks to be the only team that can called a "favorite." The rest of them will have to fight for every game. That's the beauty of this tournament.

**MrIzzz** · 12-09-2005, 10:39 AM

i hope nigeria wins this year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

**Sarah_Jayne** · 12-09-2005, 10:41 AM

*cheers for England*

**sake** · 12-09-2005, 10:45 AM

Chichio, Brazil is always going to be the favorite in these type of competitions.. They always were and they always will be favorites at any football tourneys...

**MetaMan** · 12-09-2005, 10:46 AM

Simply not true. There have been plenty of times over the years that Brazil have been anything but favourites.

How so? last decade they have been the best.. won in japan and in the states, lost to france in '98 in the final..

The U.S. is almost sure to be in a "group of death."

Yea, if you're not one of the 8 "seeded" teams you risk getting into a tough group.

They have a great team and I will cheer for them.. but not sure if they can beat the likes of Brazil.

I hope Canada qualifies before I die, our whole city goes crazy at World Cup but for Italy, Brazil, England, Greece and every other damn country. Kind of amazing to see a massive celebration on the streets no matter who wins

groups C, F, B, E will be fun to watch..

**EplMania** · 12-09-2005, 12:17 PM

Wow, Czech Republic is ranked 2nd in the world? I guess the US has their work cut out for them after all.

**justsexxx** · 12-09-2005, 12:18 PM

the Czechs are going to destroy the Usa imo.

**Chichio** · 12-09-2005, 12:22 PM

The Czechs are damn good. Nedved is probably one of the best players in the world. Still the U.S. can beat any team in the group but we will need some luck.

Nedved doesn't play for the national team anymore....

**CamRabbit** · 12-09-2005, 12:26 PM

Whoever the US gets, they're fucked. They're crap at the world's most popular sport.

Actually he does again, he said he would play for the WC06.

Okay then he returned :-) I see you are from seattle. I must say GREAT area there

**EplMania** · 12-09-2005, 12:30 PM

Well at least we're not in group C. Yikes.

**dunefield** · 12-09-2005, 12:33 PM

Geezus Australia has got it hard...

Spain probably has the easiest group...
