Which of these matchups do you look foward the most in WC06?

[MIGkiller]

What confrontation do you most want to see in the next World Cup?

Brazil vs Argentina - the world's greatest classic in the world's greatest stage;

Brazil vs Germany - defending champions vs home team, the two biggest winners of the game meeting again;

Argentina vs Turkey - a potential heated game due to the characteristics of both teams;

England vs Argentina - nothing like the good old WC historic matchup again;

Brazil vs Greece - the clash of two opposing philosophies of football;

USA vs Mexico - the continuing saga of the CONCACAF rivalry;

USA vs England - to finally put an end to the mother of all debates in BS;

Brazil vs Holland - attacking football vs attacking football;

[dor02]

Are the any games involving Italy that you would like to mention?

Italy vs Germany could be one or a rematch of Italy vs South Korea.

USA vs. Iran

[blackpool fc mark]

Some weird choices there. You include a nothing game like Arg v Turkey but not England v Germany, whats up with that.

There isnt an England fan in the world who cares about faceing USA in a WC, if it happens it happens, we got them in a friendly anyway, and what is this debate i hear you speak?

How about Czech Rep v Holland (the rematch from euro 2004) that would be great

[afgrijselijkheid]

brazil v greece? argentina v turkey? where is the choice for ORANJE v germany?

[Andy TAUS]

AUS v ENG.

That should end all the ENG bullsh!t about "meaningless friendlies", like after losing 1-3 to AUS in the last game played.

Now this would be some matchup, knowing how much us Aussies love to play against the Pommies, at national team level in ANY sport.

[lamrof]

Wow, Brazil vs. Argentina in the semi or final will almost be unbearable to watch.
It will be a scary duel. Imagine supremacy claims in one of the worlds most football crazy continents.
I don't think Argentina will put a good fight this time around. Brazil has a monstrous offence.

Shame Australia wont be there. Again. :D

I wouldn't get too cocky in advance if I were you Andy :D

I think you'll find that if were to play in a WC then the English players would be just as up for the game as your lads.

I beg to differ. Argentina always puts up a fight against the Selecao- sometimes literally. They don't play the most beautiful football, but they'll shoulder barge, push, and generally use ugly (but legal) tactics to compete.

How about a rematch of 38, 70, 78, 82, and 94--Italy
vs. Brazil? They've historically fought to a stalemate,
each having five wins, five losses, and two draws. And
except for in 94 the action is amazing . . .

I'd also love to see Holland vs. Germany again.

[Borruma]

Germany - Holland
Brazil - Argentina

and of course, the classic...

Ireland - England

=====================================

This is good too just as Brazil VS. Germany or Brazil VS Holland. However, I don’t think these will l be as emotionally charged as Brazil vs. Argentina. To me Argentina VS England, Brazil VS Turkey, Cameroon VS Germany(The old colonizers vs. the oppressed is a grudge match. It burned me when Cameroon lost last time) and US vs Mexico is becoming an intense rivalry for us here in North America.

[lamrof]

Oh, another one I missed will be Japan vs South Korea.

[lamrof]

Also, Japan vs China. No matter what stage this is played there is always flag waving, chest beating involved here, with people dressed in old warrior costumes. What a match-up. If only the Chinese were good enough.

[ronaldinhobr10]

i would choose brasil vs italy even though its not one of the choices

You know that AUS would be super fired-up on this one.

Perhaps the Pommies shouldn't be so cocky, either. :D

Argentina vs. England
This will be a great match up.

Not too excited about Argentina vs. Brazil. They are both from COMMEBOL and play against each other in several tournaments. I do grant that most of those match ups don't have the best players.

Brazil and the Argies did not meet in world cup, more than twice as far as I know. (could be wrong as I have not researched it)
England/Argentina, Italy/Brazil, have crossed roads in world cup more compared say to Argentina/Brazil, Germany/Brazil.
Brazil vs Argentina is a killer match-up. It will be war. The one thing I like about this match up is that not only will it be about results it will also be who puts the best show.
