World Cup Draw Thread *spoilers*

On current form? W2 D1 L1
Sure they were not competitive games but you can't bring up Brasil's win over England if you disregard Brasils past 4 games

The African nations have an advantage because they are playing competitive games in the African cup of Nations so as long as Ivory Coast players can stay fit then I give them a good chance of qualifying from that group and I really wouldn't be surprised to see Brasil going out in the groups.

:D

Current form, been that they've conceded the least goals in South American qualifing? iirc.

Easily the best side, and easily as good as Spain at the moment :o
 
Lucky? to what? only lose by 1 and 2 goals to Brasil and Spain?

Greece didn't win the World Cup.

Italy, were lucky to get past Oz (iirc a penatly decision that was harsh) but Italy were a very good, well organised side that year.

Brasil, will have a tough group to play in, but the flip side is they should be able to beat easily all the teams on current form and will be going in to the latter stages with some serious momentum and confidence.

England & USA to go through, but much like the Champions League it's all a formaility. It gets really tough from then on.

Greece in the euros, basicly cups like this are won with a lot of luck.
 
I am so utterly certain that England wont win this world cup , that I am willing right here and now to state that I will give 1 years worth of wages to each person in this thread if we do win it.

Thats how certain I am. The sheer fact that we talk about which teams we want to avoid tells me that there are teams in it that we dont think we can beat and thus we have to hope to avoid them, hardly the stuff of world champions.

My prediction is as follows...we will do very nicely thank you in the group, win the group reasonably comfortably. At which point the media etc will be going wild with 1966 comparisons and how we are going to win it. Then get knocked out against the first top 10 team that we play following the group phase.
