Not going, would like to go if I had the money lol


On the side of Groups A-D will go to either Germany or England.  Argentina probably has the best talent in the world, but Maradona is a joke of a coach.  It wouldn't surprise me if they get eliminated in the group stage. 


On the side of Groups E-H, is a bit harder to choose a favorite.  Spain's been doing good but they never seem to get it together in the World Cup.  Maybe this squad will be different.

Super excited although Portugal has been sucking it up lately

[K.Dub]

Took the liberty to make some minor adjustments. Also made it a sticky.


Anyway - Dunno what the fuck nations like Honduras, New Zealand, Korean DPR, Algeria and Slovenia is doing there, but I guess this is what makes it so unpredictable. And they might surprise us.
However, I'm going for Brazil, but rooting for Three Lions.

Dunno who I'd like to see win it just hope I can see plenty of it.

I still think Brazil will win it in the end. Can't see my England getting to the final but I think we have the players and team to make it to the semi-finals and if we manage that it'll be a success.

There's always one unknown team that seem to excel and do well and come of age at a world cup so I wonder which one it'll be this time.

[K.Dub]

Rooting for Spain too!

[Invincible]

Rooting for Spain too!

Once or if England go out, I will be too. I want a new winner and they deserve to with the talent they have.

[Lunatic]

I'm not looking forward to Portugal's likely 1st elimination round game against Spain lol

[Invincible]

No would I be. You better beat Brazil then.

If we can finish first in the group, we would be on cruise control. I really hope so.

[es-jay]

England to win.

if we get knocked out, Brasil or Spain.

[Invincible]

If England were to win it, they'd probably get the 'the rest of the competition was weak, some of the teams are not as good as they used to be so that was why you won it' bullshit and the country would still complain. Because in our half, neither Germany, Argentina or France have been playing that amazing recently.

What is everyone's favorite group to watch?  I have to go with Group H.  Of course Spain will come out victorious in that group, but the 2nd place spot is going to be very interesting I believe.  Chile has a fantastic young squad with Bielsa as their coach.  Honduras always goes toe-to-toe against with U.S. and Mexico, so these guys can play pretty solid.  I don't know much about Switzerland, but being an European team odds are they're better than Chile and Honduras.  Still though, I feel that Chile and Honduras can compete with most european teams.  


The other group is Group A.  I'm not saying this because I'll be rooting for Mexico (also rooting for the U.S., well not win it all just root for them both to play great lol) but although France is a power house team, I think Uruguay and Mexico can hang with them.  South Africa although from what I hear is a really weak team, they'll be having home field advantage (ref wise mainly) could make things interesting.  


People say Brazil's group is up there, but I think Ivory Coast won't do shit.  They're trying to find a new coach, and just been struggling overall to play as a team.  North Korea is a joke, that's just easy for Brazil and Portugal to pass through IMO.

If that were to happen, fuck those people.
