Who will win the World Cup

[little dave hedgehog]

you have nz, and no usa? bull****, I'm not voting

[Kenneth]

Holland.

[Kenneth]

Predictable perhaps, but I find it almost impossible to see past Spain, they are the only genuine world class team in it in my opinion.

how can there only be one world class team in the world cup? Surely the world cup pretty much defines 'world class'.

[Shaggy]

Holland seems a bit outlandish, on paper their defence looks ****. I think they'll be the same as last time (in the Euros) - great, attractive football against the cannon-fodder before succumbing to the first decent side they meet. I have them beating Slovakia in the 2nd round before going out to Brazil in the last eight.

[Kenneth]

Sure it's oulandish, but where the fun in predicting Spain or Argentina?

[Helios Creed]

Looks like it's going to be Spain - New Zealand then...

or is the dream final not possible?

[Craig_H]

I'd rule out Holland on the basis that they dont have a top class goalscorer.

[lickedlollipop]

Slovenia

[Kenneth]

Thought you were a big fan of RVP. Is he injured?

[Craig_H]

Forgot about him

He's more of a forward though, than an out and out striker. I dont think he can take the vast majority of the goalscoring burden, especially coming off the back of a season where he's hardly played.

[doogle]

I've got a predictor from work and am having trouble predicting the groups, I think its near impossible, I've gone with

A France Uruguay Mexico South Africa
B Argentina Nigeria Greece Korea Rep
C England USA Slovenia Algeria
D Germany Serbia Australia Ghana
E Holland Denmark Cameroon Japan
F Italy Paraguay Slovakia New Zealand
G Brazil Ivory Coast Portugal Korea DPR
H Spain Chile Switzerland Honduras

Im not certain yet on Uruguay or Mexico, the whole of group D , Paraguay or Slovakia and Ivory Coast or Portugal.

Can any help with my final choice, cheers

[Shaggy]

Well these are my top 2s...

Group A: Uruguay, France
Group B: Argentina, Greece
Group C: England, USA
Group D: Serbia, Germany
Group E: Netherlands, Cameroon
Group F: Italy, Slovakia
Group G: Brazil, Portugal
Group H: Spain, Chile

[Shaggy]

Dirk has scored for Holland against Ghana.

Well these are my top 2s...

Group A: Uruguay, France
Group B: Argentina, Greece
Group C: England, USA
Group D: Serbia, Germany
Group E: Netherlands, Cameroon
Group F: Italy, Slovakia
Group G: Brazil, Portugal
Group H: Spain, Chile

so we agree on group C and H, now Im going to go into meltdown

[Neil Young]

Right now I don't care all that much about who's going to win it; I just wish it would hurry up and start.
