Argentina is basically screwed again . They always seem to be i nthe group of death , and it doesnt help them that Netherlands was not seeded this time....
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.
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 still want to know the dumb 31 people that choose BRAZIL?!?!?!? I understand Mexico or France, Italy and anybody, BUT brazil what is that all about really I want to know from those of you who voted for them
Don't have to review it at all. I remember it very well. He saw the tackle coming and dragged his feet along the ground. I realise he's getting on a bit but even HE doesn't need to shuffle to THAT extent. There was absolutely minimal contact and he went down like he'd been poleaxed. I initially looked around to see if there was a sniper in the crowd. It was utterly pathetic... PARTICULARLY from a player in a team that manhandles players to the ground in the PA and then complains they haven't done anything wrong. The same thing will happen this time. They'll get so far and their method of interpreting the rules will catch up with them.
How is Makalele on the Ukulele? I heard he did a great rendition of I started a joke : Started the whole world misbelieving.
Yup....pretty much the way I see it! Mexico had a great WC '02. They were beaten psychologically by the US before the match even started. Argentina, England, Italy and France? France should do better til they crash! Brazil, Holland, and/or Germany....Finals. Of course....all bets are off.....when different teams show up in 6 mos.!! Play on, roby
With the cakewalk draw that Mexico got, I can't imagine how so many people actually voted for them to do the worst of the seeds. That's truly insane. They have an absolute cakewalk compared to most of the other seeds in the WC. Geez, some of us U.S. guys need to check our bias against Mexico at the door.
Non-bias Americano?!?!?!? What is the world coming to an end?!?!?!? IM SCARED ................he he he just kidding but really thats a very good point they are geting into knockouts for sure when some of these others seeded teams have it very hard to do so...i dont see why people are viting against them eh whatever.
The big question is why Spain is always among the top 8 teams and considered by FIFA usually among the world's best 5. We never go beyond quarterfinals. Spain is sick of its National team, it's losing fans and interest here. Boring thing.
