The Official World Cup South Africa 2010 (Official Discussion)
Furor Teutonicus:
Will be interesting to see if at least one African team can make it through the group stages. I wouldn't bet my money on this at the moment.
Cameroon and South Africa are a joke (I think they'll be the first host to exit after group stage), Ghana has potential, but :grumpy: @ losing 1:4 against Netherlands. Wouldn't surprise me if underdog Australia advances. Ivory Coast of course has the most potential, but they're clearly not in good shape and are in the killer group again :-X I think Nigeria has a realistic chance, they don't look to strong either but their group isn't that hard. I would rank Algeria highest out of them at the moment but they have a tough group with England and USA.

LULZ America have Spector and Altiodore in there team. Enough said.

With the World Cup being in Africa, there is absolutely no way no African team will survive the Group Stage. I agree with Shallow thus far, that they will look to cut them African teams (especially South Africa) some slack.

Even if the refs push them like they did the Koreans, it'll still be near impossible to get them through this group. Even if France is a fuck up.
btw Drogba is out now too ::) IC has still some capable strikers, but I have very few doubts Brazil and Portugal go through. What a shame :-\
Well, 1-2 teams may make it to the round of 16, but like I said, I wouldn't bet on that.
Lunatic:
Drogba injury sucks for IC but being Portuguese, I'm not complaining.
