Argentina and Netherlands are the only teams that got the 9 points, that makes think about a final between them like in '78

I actually think that there might be a surprise World Champion this year.

I already said ages ago that this year one of the "outsiders" will be champions.

Go Slovakia then

Would be fitting. They already sent the current World Champion home.

Remember the last time we played the Germans...?

I don't. :hide:

It's one of the 3 things that I think I'll always remember where I was when I heard about a) the Twin Towers, b) Michael Jackson's death and c) England beating Germany 5-1

Picks for the round of 16?

Uruguay 1-2 Korea (my longshot pick for a big upset)
USA 1-1 Ghana (USA wins on penalties, continuing their streak of most dramatic finishes possible)
Germany 2-0 England
Argentina 2-1 Mexico
Paraguay 0-2 Japan
Netherlands 3-0 Slovakia
Brazil 2-1 Chile
Spain 3-0 Portugal

Uruguay 1-2 Korea
USA 2-1 Ghana
Germany 2-1 England
Argentina 3-0 Mexico
Paraguay 1-0 Japan
Netherlands 2-1 Slovakia
Brazil 3-0 Chile
Spain 2-1 Portugal

Uruguay 1-2 Korea
USA 2-1 Ghana
Germany 2-2 England (Lose on penalties.)
Argentina 2-0 Mexico
Paraguay 1-2 Japan
Netherlands 2-1 Slovakia
Brazil 3-0 Chile
Spain 2-2 Portugal (Ronaldo takes the deciding penalty, Casillas mocks him and saves it his head. Spain go through)

I will be shorter.. Argentina wins the cup, flawless victory.

Uruguay 2-0 Korea
USA 1-0 Ghana
Germany 4-3 England
Argentina 3-1 Mexico
Paraguay 0-0 Japan (Japan goes)
Netherlands 3-0 Slovakia
Brazil 2-0 Chile
Spain 1-2 Portugal

And my winner is... I dunno yet

Uruguay 3-1 Korea
USA 1-0 Ghana
Germany 4-0 England
Argentina 2-2 Mexico Argentina on pens
Paraguay 0-1 Japan
Netherlands 3-1 Slovakia
Brazil 2-1 Chile
Spain 3-2 Portugal


I still can't see a more complete team than Brazil...

Disclaimer: I'm in favour of outsiders, so some of my picks are highly inaccurate and probably none of them won't be true.

Uruguay 1-2 ET Korea
USA 3-1 Ghana
Germany 1-3 England
Argentina 1-2 Mexico
Paraguay 1-2 Japan (Japan goes)
Netherlands 1-2 Slovakia
Brazil 1-3 Chile
Spain 4-0 Portugal

The 2-1 in Berlin a year ago? The DVD's are still on the shelves.

Stop hatin' you Scottish....

Atleast England dont concede goals like this from a BasketBall nation.

No but this happens against an American Football nation:

Spain 2-1 Portugal

Quote from CSF :

Germany 4-0 England

You guys are really evil to the portuguese team :evil:

4-0 ; 3-0 .. nah xD

I think we have a chance to go through tho

Quote from rc10racer :

I'm not delusional.

If both teams play as they did on Wednesday, England should win easily.

BUT the thought of England losing after penalties is SOOOOO tempting.
