tough group!

[Aguante Bielsa]

Un grupo jodido, lamentablemente. No hay partido para "descansar" a los titulares. El mejor africano, un europeo que terminó primero en su grupo y recibió UN solo gol en todas las Eliminatorias, y una selección que desde el principio debería haber sido cabeza de serie. Complicado.
De todas formas, creo que el verdadero "Grupo de la Muerte" es el de Italia, República Checa, Ghana y EEUU. Impresionante.
Inglaterra tampoco se queda atrás, ya que se las ve con Paraguay y Suecia. ¿Habrá alguna sorpresa?

[efernandez9]

2 grps de la muerte?

[cordobesenUS]

I think we can get through the first stage but you never know with these things and the games have to be played. Holland, as always ,very difficult but nothing is impossible.
Grupo jodido amigos, ojala Peckerman y los muchachos se preparen en serio porque sino, hay otro papelon a la vuelta de la esquina.

[elpipeman]

mas dificil no les podia tocar, como dirian ustedes:los cago el rey(pele)Para los que no vieron pele fue el que saco la pelotita de holanda y junto al que decía los nombres tuvieron una mirada picara de satisfacción.

Y pienso que el verdadero grupo de la muerte si es el de ustedes.

Suerte en el mundial!!

I hope Argentina, and Serbia and Montenegro will advance from this group.

Hopefully, Holland will finish last, with 0 points. :D

[CrespoOffside]

This is all FIFA's doing. What were they thinking when they placed Spain as a seed ahead of Holland? Serbia and Montenegro won Spain's group anyway, while Holland clearly won theirs. Another weird seed, Mexico. The US or a couple other european countries (Sweden or Croatia based on best finishes, 2nd and 3rd place respectively) could have easily been seeded instead. However, FIFA must have thought a North American seed was absolutely necessary.
It all just seems like a bunch of rubbish. Still Argentina is stronger than Serbia and Ivory Coast undoubtebly (even if its only a small margin) and right on par with Holland, who will give our defenses a hell of a time. We're going to need a healthy full strength lineup to beat theirs.

Let's thank that ugly negro pele for giving us a hand we should pass the group stage with no sweat.

[bsas]

Ghosh, we are again in one of the toughest groups! Eso de no ir al sorteo nos trae yeta, no creen?..

We'll need the best of our team to beat Ivory Coast and Serbia, so as to pass the group along with Holland.

Well, I don't think this can be cheated. Too many checks are being done.

I was still happy that Brazil group is not that easy either. They were close to getting T&T!...

[Futballer]

I dont like this group.
When you think about it, Argentina should beat these teams.

[cordobesenUS]

Mala suerte, pero bueno hay quie sacar esto adelante. Yo creo que se puede si hay un trabajo serio y peckerman no se esconde del colectivo como dice grondona y si los demas ponen esto por encima de sus millones de dolares, mujeres, chupi y criar pelo mirandose al espejo.

[argentine soccer fan]

The way I see it, the first match is a must win. If we beat Ivory Coast then we head into the Serbia match with confidence. And we should beat them, I know they have Drogba, but mostly unknown players, if we can't beat them we don't deserve to advance. Ivory Coast may upset somebody, but we have to assume that the Euros will beat them, so we better beat them.

Then we get Serbia. They are, I understand, a conservative, strong defensive team, but if they lose to Holland they will have to come out of their shell and it will facilitate things for us. If they beat Holland, then they will probably play their conservative game and it will make it tougher. Worst case scenario is a Holland-Serbia draw, which will be like England-Sweden last time, and will leave us vulnerable. I think we should play our difference makers, Messi, Tevez, find a way through their defense. And I expect we should come out ahead.

Against Holland, hopefully we will be in by then, because they are dangerous. It really will depend on the other results, but I don't think they will come out defensively. We will have to take it to them, pressure them, play them like we played Brazil in Buenos Aires. We have to put pressure on Cocu and deny the ball to their attackers. Hopefully we can control it and play at our pace, and I think if we play smart on the ground our forwards can trouble their big defenders.

So, a big challenge, but we should be able to come out of it. We better handle the tough European teams, or we'll never hear the end of it.

Argentina esta para ganarles a todos del grupo el mas complicado es holanda... de aca saldra Argentina y Holand.... Para que pedir un grupo papita desde ya que vengan todos argentina esta para ganar este torneo....

Aguante Argentia y que este mundial sea el del tricampeonato y la gloriosa vuela olyimpica albi celeste..

[manyaUSA]

Para salir campeon hay que ganarle a todos, creo que Argentina tiene equipo suficiente para pelear el titulo.
Mis predicciones:
La primera rueda la pasa sin problemas. Despues, seguramente contra Mejico; tambien sin problemas.
Y despues... si no se cruza contra Alemania (que ademas de ser local y un equipo fuerte, obviamente le van a dar una manito) creo que llega a semi seguro.

Suerte!

Alguien sabe quien va a ser el golero titular?

[CTREVS]

I don't understand how this is being labeled a group of Death. Argentina and Holland are class, Ivory Coast and serbia? Since when is anyone scared of them? I really just don't get it. I don't see anything but Argentina and Holland going through.

Se nota que no as visto partidos de costa de marfil, tienen dos monstruos que son drogba y toure norta: crespo es suplente de drogba en el chelsea.

Pero creo que argentina va a pasar a la segunda ronda en 2do lugar y llegaran la final.
