Official World Cup Thread

Hard to tell, but Brazil and Argentina are the top on my list to take the Cup as they are both huge contenders. Haven't seen England play yet but I imagine they can't be counted out of it just yet, especially with Rooney back into the starting line up.
 
Brazil isn't really playing as well as I expected or as well as I think they can...they just need to be put against a team that will actually challenge them and then we can see them really play. the czech republic was rated second, but after that loss to ghana i'm not so sure they're gonna do so well....my vote's for ghana or the ivory coast haha just cuz i'd like to see them win
 
I completely disagree...

I haven't seen Brazil play this bad since their 1998 final game. They have not been dominating against easy teams and they have not been able to clearly hold posession and set up scoring oppourtunities. They have basically just let Ronaldinho or Robinho make all the plays for them. Kaka needs to be set up more off of corner kicks and Ronaldinho needs to get a hold of himself on free kicks.
 
i disagree. ghana definitly has the best shot out of any african nation and i think that they could beat the US for sure. they are so much faster than the US and i think that it will come as a shock becasue the US are used to being faster than the other teams they play.
 
that ball was a difficult ball to save.

but cole killed it. great volley.

and poor owen. it came lie what two minutes into the game. i can't imagine what was running through his head.
 
The keeper is over 2 meters high,he could just have taken a step or two back and gotten it with ease.
 
Dude with that ball knuckling like that, and a volley that powerful from that far out... trust me that was not an easy save to make. The only way would have been if he had better positioning prior to the shot. Since he cannot predict the future, it was just an amazing shot and went in.
 
as an englishman im dissapointed, we seemed to play well in the 1st half and lose all concentration in the 2nd, with the last goal by sweden overcoming non existant defending
 
i was really hoping for an english win since both teams are already in the second round. and england had to go and disappoint with a defensive breakdown. at least it wasn't a loss.
 
England win the group, that's all that matters (and that I had Larsson as my last scorer in a sweepstake so won some cash!)!

Shitty about Owen, though maybe we'll finally see Walcott come on!

Ecuador didn't look like they could beat us against Germany, it's all gonna be good.
 
yeah coles volley was amazing! such a great goal.. but sweden owned the second half, to bad our defence sucks big time! but fortunatly we made it 2-2 so the streak of being unbeaten against england lives on
 
hmm, well me, raul, torres, henry, ronaldhino, casillas in goal, ballack, gerrard, rooney, wowsers too many good players to name
