after half the teams have started the world cup, I have some conclusions:
argentina is as solid and effective as we had all thought, so they are really a good bet
england will have to improve if they want to pass cos sweden showed they have enough quality to win against anybody.
france will have to fight 100% if they dont want to cry for their sad mistake in the first match.
germany is in a much better state than I had thought (they want us to believe that they dont think they can win, but I tell you this, they really can) its not only because they won 8-0 with such a weak opponent, its that they have lots of interesting players.
tomorrow we will see how other 2 favourites do, brazil and Italy.

yeah i have to say .. the german teamwork was very impressive. it'll be interesting to see what happens with germany vs ireland .. that'll be a real test.
i think france will still pull through, but some motivation is whats needed.
argentina are looking mighty impressive.

my opinion is that we played bad in 1st half and england played bad in 2nd half. anders svensson should have played from start tho...

the difference between Italy and spain is: if spain plays bad we go home cos we dont even qualify for 1/8 finals, and if we play fine we get to 1/4 finals (the furthest)
if italy plays bad they only get to 1/4 finals, if they play good they win or at least get to the final.
good luck my friend (woofer)

Not really.... I'm not overly fond of the Turkish football teams (BUT NOT the nation) since I support Leeds United and they fucked up our entire season! But there we go.

I'm doing a game here in Italy where who guess more world cup's result win.
We're in 31 players and at this moment I'm the first with 14pt.
If a player guess full result i.e. (mexico - croatia = 1 - 0) make 3 pt.
If a player guess onle who win male only 1 pt.
I guess PARAGUAY-SOUTH AFRICA=2-2 ENGLAND-SWEDEN=1-1 ARGENTINA-NIGERIA=1-0 EIRE-CAMERUN=1-1
The final premium is 310,00 €
Today I missed MEXICO - CROATIA but I hope to guess BRASIL and ITALY...

I have Italy to win the cup @ 6-1 but I feel Ecuador are as under-rated as Senegal so it could be very tight... Italy do tend to make a slow start, who thinks we could have our first 0-0 here ?

I have 4 bets on this one >
Englandv Sweden 1-1 =6-1(won!) Germany in final = 10-1 Portugal in final = 7-1 Italy win cup = 6-1
Germany or Portugal will reach the final if Italy don't, so I feel I have some very good prices there ! No other team in the top half of the draw impresses me enough to reach the final , so unless Italy reach the final and LOSE, I stand to make even MORE money ! :D

Match enough easy for Italy, Vieri and Totti played really well and I must admit that I saw a great ITALY.

yeah but thats Italy for you. Once they are 2 in front they usually settle for the win and keep a clean sheet.
first time i've seen Totti play, he impressed me.
although i'm english i think England have no chance, we'll get thrashed on friday against argentina.

he wasn't much concentrate and his legs was colds... Del Piero is my idol but at this moment I must admist that Totti and Vieri are playing better.

i haven't seen much of del piero (or any other italian players) because the big teams didn't come for in the european cups, but i always thought vieri is overrated (he scores a lot, granted, but he has difficulties even passing a ball!!). hopefully we'll see more of del piero and his free kicks especially :)
