Anyone watching the soccer world cup? Who is going to win the tournament in your opinion?

I should think Brazil will get there in the end, though they may have problems meeting Argentina or Holland. Also to my knowledge England haven't played Brazil with Rooney in tact, so you never know, we might stand a chance.

I'd like to see England get to the semis, although we didn't do well in our first match, I think we'll get better as we go on, and we got the result.

I'd think the semis will be Brazil, Argentina/Germany, Holland and England, but I had to say England :p.

Lol, France seem to be having an awful time! France-Korea might be an intresting match. Gotta feel bad for the USA too, drawing such a tough group.

Must. Go. To. Bed.. Could talk football. For.. HOURS..

I've seen a lot of teams having a hard time against the underdogs. Have seen the match brazil vs croatia? That was awful, no magic at all.

Yus, the USA has to win the next match to have a chance for the next round. But I don't see how they would finish the game with a victory... Yet, we have seen so many underdogs doing quite well. ^^

I personally hope that Germany will reach the finals. A rematch vs Brazil would be nice, just like the last world cup in 2002.

They held out well! Had to feel a little sorry for them, they're doing so well. Pitty Sweden and Paraguay didn't draw, then England would've finished top no matter what. If England learn from the T&T match, they should do better from now on, they were on fire towards the end, think its a lot to do with Rooney coming back.

I did see Brazil v Croatia! Kept watching incase Brazil started their magic. Think they knew they'd walk it so didn't try so hard. Should think they'll pick up in the next stages, part of me hopes they don't though :p.

Would like to see the USA go through too.

Trinidad still has a chance. :D
England has to beat Sweden and T&T must win against Paraguay.

All this makes me want to buy the game Fifa 2006. :D

what will happen is teams england come up against will have injury problems.. the matches will still be even all the way and england will win by a goal.. we wont hear the bloody end of it until 2066.. they are just shutting up about winning it in 1966 now ffs!.. me as an irish person am going to have it in my ear for the rest of my life...

At first I supported Ecuador, now that they're out I really hope France will make it to the finals and win! Zidane was MAGIC tonight! :eek:

Yes, I'm German, but why should I support Germany? That's boring! ;)
