just a few hours before the opening game.
Brazil vs Croatia
any predictions on any games rounds or overall outcome?
here is my list of who will make it out of round one:
group A
Brazil, Mexico
Group B:
Spain, Netherlands
Group C:
Colombia, Japan
Group
England, Italy
Group E:
France, Switzerland
Group F:
Argentina, Nigeria
Group G:
Germany, Portugal
Group H:
Belgium, Russia
thats right... the US wont even make it out of the first round.
a few other long shots in there, like japan and Nigeria but they produce decent teams and since the groups they are in are not quite as strong they have a decent shot.
the swiss may not make it and honduras may in group E. honduras has something to prove even though they dont look as good on paper. thats a close call in my book.
i do have to say that it would be great to see Argentina win. their offense is just amazing. however, the old saying "offense wins the game and defense wins the tournament" is very true and the Argentina defense is at times questionable. also, i cant think of a single person from their bench. fairly shallow team.
it is also a difficult bet against Brazil.

As for Portugal it pretty much all comes down to Ronaldo, he's been having some injury issues as of late so we'll see how that goes.
Germany is good....very good. Don't see us beating them but I've seen crazier things happen.
Ghana has had our number the past two cups but we should be able to beat them.
I'm looking forward to the Spain Netherlands game tomorrow. To bad I'll be at work and won't get to see it
i know the German team has no super stars but they play like Germans... efficient. dont forget they are ranked 4th.
i support it.
the score of that game should have been 1-0 Brazil.
im watching the Mexico Cameroon game right now in the 88 minute with mexico up 1-0 and it should be 3-0 but the reffs fixed that.
in all fairness, cameroon is playing well and has had several good shots. even with several sloppy moments from the mexican defense, cameroon just cant seem to find the back of the net. the mexican goal keeper is having a good game.
i just hope the officiating gets better than these first two games.
