I hope too ;)
Anyway, this world cup miss a great team as Holland... I'm sorry for that.
Holland is much better than a lot of other teams in this world cup, imo.

....sigh. don't remind me ;)
saudi arabia shouldn't be there... and they were the best in the qualifying groups by far! and they want another asian team to get a piece of the action next time! unbelievable...
i just hope our national squad will learn something from this. i can't imagine they're enjoying the world cup watching it on tv :)

Yeah I totally agreed with you. That's a pity who players as Van Nisterooy, Overmars, Davids, Seedorf, Stam, etc... watch these match on TV :(

luckily there's lots of players in the world cup who play in holland, so we can support them. watch tomasson of denmark and ono of japan, they are really good!

At this stage I think the portugal/spain duel would be too close to call (penalty shoot outs?) ... will have to wait till tomorrow to see how portugal does against the us.
But yeah, italy/brazil/argentina/portugal(or spain) would be my top 4 picks ???

I guess you are referring to england-argentina... well english better improve if they want to win against argentina, they are very solid defending and quite talented attacking (batistuta, crespo, ortega, piojo, veron, aimar, kily, all of them very creative and fast)

My forecasts of today:
China - Costarica = 0 - 0 Japan - Belgium = 0 - 0 Korea - Poland = 1 - 1
I already missed China - Costarica = 0 - 2, I hope to guess the followings results.

why the hell was Inamoto's goal dissalowed??? he didnt foul anyone and wasn't offside, what gives?
impressed by Japan in the second half, though a little week defending. I think they will get to the second round.

so today we saw japan korea and china, it seems that china will soon say goodbye, they are too weak for the tournament, japan has to improve a lot in defense but they have interesting players in attack and finally korea is for me a good team, with a great job by the coach (hiddink) and they can pass to 1/8 finals and who knows if even more...

costa rica may pass, but it will a big fight between them and the turkish, this last are much more used to high competition, but as they lost their first match, now costarica is 3 points ahead and that can be definitive.
poland just said goodbye, cos now they still have to play vs portugal and usa (maybe against the american they can win but that wont be enough.
belgium will have it difficult to pass, cos this group has no clear favourites, (russia, tunez, belgium, japan) but they can ... maybe they and japan are the two teams passing, but be carefull with russia, they have a few players in spanish league and some are great (karpin, mostovoi...)

OK TOMORROW:
rusia - tunez portugal - usa germany - ireland
what do you think...?
so far, who do you think will pass of each group?
methinks:
a.- denmark (1st) france (2nd) a b.- spain (1st) south africa (2nd) c.- brazil and costa rica d.- portugal and korea e.- germany and camerun f.- argentina and sweden g.- Italy and Mexico h.- japan and belgium
this will make the next 1/8 finals:
A germany-south africa....wins.. germany B denmark- sweden....................sweden C argentina - france (OMG)..........france D spain - camerun.......................spain E italy - korea.............................italy F brazil - belgium........................brazil G japan - costa rica.....................japan H portugal - mexico....................portugal
WHICH WOULD MAKE THE NEXT 1/4 FINALS:
1 brazil - sweden......wins.....brazil 2 germany - Italy................italy 3 spain - portugal............spain (my wish) 4 france - japan...............france
which lead to the next semifinals:
italy - spain............wins.....italy brazil - france....................france
1st france 2nd Italy 3rd Brazil 4th spain
what do you think??

before this first matches i thought that Italy and germany would not reach the semifinals this year, but now I have serious doubts, cos both countries seemed so strong.
germany had such a great begining, lets see if they keep that level tomorrow
Italy was awesome, with the great Totti and the killer vieri, and they make such a solid football, with no weak points in their defense line... always pressing in the midfield and with such talented players to score, dont forget about del piero, inzaghi...
again this time, germany and italy will reach very far...
