[Özil]

interesting match ups there...

 

[Dazza]

I dont think we have a chance against Brazil...Ronaldinho is class and people are now saying Kaka is almost as good as him. Adriano is back in form now scoring 2 goals this morning against AC Milan and a hatrick in the champions league recently..and Ronaldo always shows his class in world cups. Stopping those four is going to be very difficult.

 

[Faz]

England will choke AGAIN!

Argentina will win it for sure! I smell a wager!

*Sniffs*

 

[MzBulldog83]

i totally agree on the favourites bit, but i look it at, as a side thats has players on the bench as good as the players on the field..

for alot of those players it will be their last world cup so thats anothe factor

and i just c adriano and ronaldo if not the best 2 strikers, then two of the best strikers in the world, and having ronaldinho who is in brilliant form serving them, too hard for any defence to contain..

i just hope an african team wins it

LOL liked what Gus said (in so many words: ) that when asked if Australia had a chance in beating Brazil, he was hestitant about it and could only say that basically miracles are possible..

After watching that interview... i don't know whose gunna win but Australia are definite gonskies =P (but still not sayn brazil is guna kill 'em!)

But i hope an african team blitzes it too =)

 

[shifty581]

i think ivory coast will kill it players like kolo toure yahya toure de jong emmanuel eboue

 

[shifty581]

i dont think brazil are invinsible we did draw or won a few years back and a series of injuries just like bulldogs could always happen to them

The thing is...Brazil's 2nd side are good enough to make the semi's of a world cup.Their depth is un-believeable.

 

[shifty581]

and didier drogba

 

[shifty581]

depth still those players lack experience at that level (world cup ) just like arsenal 2 many young chaps in the team
