I think probably Mexico will be the worst of the seeded teams but I voted for Spain... not because they're a bad side but because there's just something about them that makes them go tits up in the big tournaments.
Argentina, France and England have enough decent players to make at least a reasonable showing and Germany are playing at home so they will do OK... don't they always!
Italy, on the other hand, will do OK for a while and then somehow forget that the old Italian way of defending - tripping, pushing, punching, pinching,elbowing and grabbing - are NOT actually allowed in the rules of the game and that you can only do that when playing in Italy where the rules are apparently suspended. I can still picture the utterly gormless look on Materazzi's face when he held that Bulgarian fella in the penalty box in euro2004 and who can forget the histrionics when Totti was sent packing after diving against the Koreans and when that Korean fella was rugby tackled to the ground. Still, great fun, eh?
They'll go a reasonable distance though.
Personally I think it's between Germany, (home side and all that), and Brazil like last time.

France.
I reckon they won the cup by a fluke, and proved their worth last time by bombing out

No. France have usually had a good team. The difference is that in '98 they had the one exceptional player that makes the difference between good and great... Zidane.

What the fook dju talking about Wilis?
France had the best side they've had in 1998 since 1982.
In 2002, there best player was crocked and Henry and Vieira were spent, especially in the humidity.

So according to your theory Brazil would have to worry if the US were in their group.

Yes they'd piss themselves so much that their shorts would be as yellow as their shirts. (Well green I guess if they go with the traditional blue shorts).

I love how everyone says France because of recent history..... In the last 10 years they've won the World Cup, the Euro, where knocked out of Korea because Zidane couldn't play and the team looked exausted, beat England at the Euro 2-1 before losing to the eventual champions.... It's laughable. Here's how France will line up in Germany, and tell me that they are the weakest seeded team...
-------------------------Coupet (Lyon)
Sagnol (Bayern)--Gallas (Chelsea)--Thuram (Juventus)--Abidal (Lyon
------Vieira (Juventus)----Makalele (Chelsea)-----Malouda (Lyon)
--------------------Zidane (Real Madrid)
------Trezeguet (Juventus)-----------------Henry (Arsenal)
I just love how fashionable Francophobia has become in the States.

anyone who thinks France is going to be a bad side is insane. Makalele has done wonders for this team as he finally gives them the holding midfielder they have lacked since 2000.
And Zidane is still a great player. With him setting up Henry and Trezeguet the French are going score goals.
Pires and Cisse give them attacking options on the bench. This is a good side.
Mexico and Spain have to be the teams to do the worst. Mexico because they are really not that good, and Spain because they always do something to ruin there chances.

I think Argentina will be eliminated in the first round.Serbia and Holland to qualify.
