That Northern Ireland victory over Spain is precisely what gave Montréal United the lead. :) He has NI, I have Spain. Who woulda thunk it?
And so it begins...my reign at the top
Had no idea I could guess myself :o
I think you and I wisely chose to stay away from that group (IMHO). It is, as you say, "open." My gut says that Turkey is the most talented team...
Seeing that no one has yet responded to your query, allow me to hazzard a guess: There were two drafts--one before the groups were announced...
TVD is defaulted Albania eldiablito picks ICELAND
el diablito picks ROMANIA...again

When I think of Hiddink, I think about how he let Mexico come back and tie the Netherlands 2-2, after dominating the game (and scoreline 2-0) for...

Why did Italy drop Kappa?
Am I the only one who sees "90% of the starting line-up sorted out" and thinks that's bully? Did anyone foresee the starting lineup against...
I'm sure you meant and hopefully Kaiserslautern a 2nd time...you know, actually winning the group ;)

Don't know, but I repped someone whose mock draw included Italy, USA, and Czech Republic in the same group (and I believe in the same position).
Dude, I am completely aware of that. I believe Mexico will easily advance to the knockout stage, regardless of el sorteo. I was just pointing...
Well the good news for Mexican fans is that by getting a seed, you have 66% chance of getting only 1 European team in your group. Good luck.
Dude...It's almost like you'd prefer Mexico to fail as long as you're stuck with LaVolpe. I feel for you son (I remember France98 vividly), but I...
:confused: Last I checked, France is seeded for 2006. What exactly is ridiculous?
Anyone else more than a little irritated by the lack of specific information regarding the draw? In 2002, the procedure was spelled out much...
After months and months performing mock draws for the various seeding threads, here is my final draw before Friday. Comments to follow. A...
That is certainly a keen observation! In the past, they would split the points for tied teams (ie. Portugal and Costa Rica would both be...

Re: Well! Indeed! I guess we can just take comfort in the "fact" that we're smarter than everybody. :) One puzzling thought: Why...
