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.
