that is a huge only thing to have homefield. Look at the recent world cup and see the success of home team. South Korea/Japan, France, US. Klinssman won't let them flop. Now if he can only teach them to defend better than they have in so of their friendlies. As far as a flop, i will predict Spain(assuming they are in up 5-1) will finally reach their potential and do very well. The flop will be Holland. Any real reason, no. I ove their players and their team but somebody always does and it might as well be them. Portugal will redeem themselves.

Why list Spain as a potential flopper? They're always a disappointment.

For me, France and/or England..............the expectations are too high in their respective countries.

lol they do not count as they have not made it past a quarter final EVER if my info is correct? Or was it semi finals? i get confused with them and the USSR as BOTH those nations were flops but generate HUGE talent and top club sides.

I think England will flop, they never win anything but they always build themselves up purely on trash talk from their press and their fans.Brazil is going to the final, I don't know with who but I suspect, Germany.
