heh.. amazing how on those WC which runner-ups I mentioned, Germany grabbed the title in both. Very efficient team, with no art... almost like robots playing... and now they have a Brazilian in the team to add that touch. =P



But there were some great players in Germany, Franz B. being the one I really admire. 1990's final match was one of the most boring games I've watched. Almost as boring as Brazil x Italy in 94.



And Druss, yeah, I remember them all from 94 too. Only that it's not half as a pleasant memory as the 1982 team gives us. Sócrates, Falcão, Zico, Cerezzo, Leandro, Júnior, Éder... I could name them all but these are the biggest in a team that will be forever a champion even without winning the tournament.

only Brazil and Netherlands have enough great players to reach Final. Argentina and Spain thriving for 3rd/4th ...
Netherlands is the best even without Robben. only 3 players of Netherlands are better than the rest of Germany Team! ... Mertesacker, Frings, Lahm, Buth blah! how can someone think that germany is a strong team already ?

considering that Frings isn't even in the team and never will be again .. under the present coach at least.

Also having great individual players doesn't make a strong team either ...


anyway: Spain ... has to be their world cup .. at some point .

I'm almost inclined to support Chile for the title... after this TV show hostess announced live that she'll be presenting her show bare naked IF Chile wins the Cup! Woot! Way better than fat Maradona!

Heh. This is what they were doing in Italy basically 4 years ago. In electronics shop, if Italy won the cup, and if you have made a bet in that shop that it WOULD win the cup, they gave you a free LCD TV. I heard that the statistics were that the shop had to give away... quite a lot of LCDs. Perhaps 10 million even. I am not sure.

So, as kickoff approaches, some new questions:

Which team is going to be the most unsportsmanlike? Perennial favorites Uruguay and Portugal? Mexico? Someone else?

Which ref is going to make the worst game-changing decision(s)?

Who will show off the best/worst hair?

edit -- oops, forgot the most important one:
Which coach will do the worst job?  (Maradona may have this locked up before the WC even starts, though.)

Good question. For some reason, I believe Italy if they have Rino "Ringhio" Gattuso

Which ref is going to make the worst game-changing decision(s)?

Don't know the names, but the one that said that Henry's hand goal was regular. 

Who will show off the best/worst hair?

Oh dear, the Colombian goalkeeper, even if he isn't present. It doesn't matter, his Scorpion kick wins against everyone :

You said it!

[DragonRageGT]

I don't know... North Korea is a scary team... they might wage war if they lose! maradona may surprise everyone yet. But we'll have to wait and see.

[HoonDing]

I think there will be more drama off than on the pitch.

Which team is going to be the most unsportsmanlike? England, they have Terry, Cole, Gerrard and Rooney.



Which ref is going to make the worst game-changing decision(s)? Oh god knows, even the best can make a mistake.



Who will show off the best/worst hair? Maradonna maybe.



Which coach will do the worst job? (Maradona may have this locked up before the WC even starts, though.) Hhmmm Id say Spains, if they dont win with that team it will be the managers fault.

[Fexelea]

Well, almost there. No offense to the host and their football youth dreams but I hope Mexico does well. They keep trying and they keep losing.

[Kimosabe]

Want to join me in being Mexican for the afternoon Senor/Senorita?

[DragonRageGT]

[Fexelea]

Sure!

VAMOS MEJICOOOO!



Holy Crepes Mexico is ON the field or what right from the start!

Mexico for me seems superior. Not to mention they have the advantage to prepare themselves in a high height. WHOA! Almost goal. I told you, Mexicans are superior!

[Kimosabe]

Woow, almost 0-1

[Fexelea]

Ok, I'm calling it, this is gonna be one of those matches where you see a lot of triangulation by Mexico, good passes and teamwork, and SA scores with the one-man-running-alone counter

[Merci357]

god... I already HATE those vuvuzelas -.-

[Druss99]

I was hoping to see Hernandez for Mexico as he just signed for Manchester United. South Africa are probably nervy might take them about 20 minutes to settle down.

Nah, that's more famous for Italy. The so-called "catenaccio". One attacker, all others in defensive stance. Give goal and make a bunker.  

Btw, I created a poll game about the world cup. Group A is up!

lol, than don't come to The Netherlands.. almost everyone in my street has one (Dutch version) so everybody here's gonna get deaf in a couple of days..

[Ponce de Leon]

15 minutes and you're deaf. So they say.

[Fexelea]

No, Italy has an eagle or arrow formation, what I am referring to is the reliance on opposite mistake to generate a play based on sheer luck
