2006 GroupA Germany,Costa Rica,Poland,Ecuador

[yusukesisepuede]

what do you think of this group?
I think ecuador can go to second round!!!!!!!!!

[MoRado]

I think this is gonna be between us, CR or ECU, hopefully we both defeat the euoppeans and qualify, but being realistic that´s hard to happen

[ROMERO879]

LOL, Ecuador got a hard group to qualify from.

Germany- Obviously hard and gonna finish first.
Polond- Mid-European team that already beat ecuador 3-0
Costa Rica- Meh who cares. Could be good or bad.

The conditions in that game were not good. cmon, it was friendly. I think Ecuador has a good chance to qualify from this group.

Yes, if it were up to me, Costa Rica and Ecuador would qualify, but that likely will not happen.

I think if Ecuador can keep all it's top guys healthy, we can do it.

[Pingudo]

It would be really great if Costa Rica and Ecuador make it to the second round, but realistically that's very unlikely to happen. I think Germany will go through, and a fierce battle for second place will ensue between Pol, Ecu, and CR.

These 3 teams are are not ver far from each other, should be very competitive...

I think ecuador can go to second round!!!!!!!!! great chance for ecuador to advance....

will open vs Poland (knowing the result of germany vs costarica), that takes some pressure from the players....

the key is to tie germany, beat or tie poland and beat costarica soundly....for 5pts

or just put in your dream bag: a win vs poland and 3 more pts vs costa rica to advance.


congrats ecuador

aguante suarez! :cool:

Thanks, I agree with you completley. This is a tugh group. We all know Germany will advance, but the fight for second place will be unpredictable and fierce. The key is to not show the enemy too much respect, like we did last time. We gotta go out there and play like we always do, pretend that all those fanatical fan support is there watching. Let's hope for the best.

Eh atleast u guys dont got our group, we got England and Sweden yikes! :eek:

atleast we got 3 in the bag with T&T, the team i wanted the most in our group

i still think Paraguay has a good chance. try to upset England, atleast with a draw, that will boost Paraguay's chances.

[yoryi]

I would have wanted to la tri to play the opening match against the germans,that way the world would never doubt our playing skills.Poland thank god we got them,so we could play agianst them.Ticos,I think its a win,but a very difficult one.Ecuador will go to next round has the second of thier group.

[Manolo]

I think the 3-0 loss to Poland will benefit Ecuador psychologically. Poland is now expected to win, and will have the pressure of a favorite.

I believe that man for man, Ecuador is better than Costa Rica.

We just have to play against Germany the way we play against Argentina when we are visitors. Conservative but daring.

[ceejay187]

Ecuador has to come in playing strong and stepping up to the game.... Ecua can do it! :) ;)

[ecuafutbolfreak]

Yes, Ecuador have to show team spirit, strong will and having Kaviedes at his best wouldn't hurt either! ;)

[yusukesisepuede]

Ecuador have to win for Otilino Tenorio.
And, I hope to be able to see the mask of Spiderman in the final....

[Latin Pride]

Good luck Ecuador! i think Ecuador can advance from this group if you beat Croatia you can beat Poland. you know whoever advances from our group plays a team in your group, maybe we'l meet each other at the final 16

Totally agree. Polish players will understimate Ecuador after the 3-0 loss, that should benefit Ecuador big time. And with Germany, play for the 0-0, it can be done.

I think Paraguay will make it out of that group. It'll be tough but doable.

Underestimate you? I sure as hell hope not. Like somebody said above, I think the Germans will be the obvious favourites. The one thing Poland has got in its favour is playing in Germany; these games will be like home games for us, well except the one against the Germans.

[ecuafutbolfreak]

Yes, I agree, the players should keep Oti in the back of their minds and dedicate for him some nice performances, and for us too ofcourse! :D

I think Paraguay can get out of that group. Just hope Santa Cruz will be healthy, as he is very important to Paraguay's offence.

Against Germany, Ecuador should hold them out as long as possible and go for a late winner. Remember, alot of German players are young and inexperience, it should somehow come to haunt them. Atleast, I hope it will.
