Re: World Cup Fever?
yeah, i left the site, and came back to correct it...i was watching the game and Yahoo matchcast, and originally they had the call Beasley offsides...
well, I'm a French supporter (as I have family there), so I can't be any more displeased by their lack of enthusiasm. And with Zidane out for their match against Togo, Les Bleus will have to step it up a notch. a Nil-Nil draw between Suiss and Korea, and a 3 nil win over Togo, and the French squeek in.
Argentina did look good, and they could easily coast to the Final, as they'll beat Mexico (2D), and the winner of Ecuador/Germany (1A)/Sweden (2B) match. Then see maybe Italy (1E, beating the Aussies 2F) or Korea (1G, should beat Tunisia/Saudi/Ukraine 2H), 2 teams they should steamroll.
I don't see England doing much in the knockout round, especially if Germany finishes 2nd in their group, and England/Germany is in front of a hostile Munich crowd. The Dutch would probably come out of that bracket to see Brazil for a chance in the final against Argentina.
I dont see anyone beating Brazil either, and a Brazil/Argentina final would be just incredible.
