good work on the group threads

for what it's worth, considering no-one has posted in here yet - i think this group is wide open - i don't think holland are that big a powerhouse and could be a couple of upsets in this group.

I reckon denmark and cameroon to sneak through

[Craig_H]

I'm not sure Denmark are the same team they were a few tournaments ago, i think they're weak going forward and nowhere near good enough to oust Holland IMO.

[Matt]

Holland are the type of team who'll destroy a team or two in the group stages and then come unstuck pretty soon afterwards.

Mike I don't know what you've been smoking but I'd wager on Holland and Japan making it through

[Craig_H]

Holland for sure.

If the likes of Eto'o are on form and they're well organised, Cameroon could well go through.

If the Danes keep it together at the back, and find some sort of genuine attacking threat, they could make it.

Dont fancy Japan.

i wasn't really thinking - just wanted to post in this thread as noone else had and wanted to show shaggy some appreciation. - I actually don't give a **** who goes through

[-V-]

Holland will win this group and score a good few goals. Cameroon should sneak 2nd place

denmark and holland to go through surely.... denmark will win low scoring games... their qualifying campaign was very good...

[Shaggy]

Why him out of curiousity?

No particular reason

[RedReet]

I hadn’t read any of the other group threads, and like a dick actually searched to see if there was indeed another Aaron Winter playing for Lazio.

I used to love Holland in those days (mainly as they were my unbeatable ISS team), loved Seedorf, Kluivert, Davids, Overmars, Bergkamp etc, but always hated that wee cunt Winter. His face always annoyed me.

Me too.

You checked!

[RedProf]

I'm assuming Aaron Winter is a Shaggy wind up then because he was always diabolical - never a Dutch international surely.

I also hope the Dutch get through as they always have a few nice birds in the crowd.

Speaking of football totty, are there no Miss World Cup spreadsheets this year? Thought they always used to do the rounds about the time of the world cup, with the latest talent from each country competing on the spreadsheet - used to spend hours selecting the different permutations to see what totty ended up in the final.
