I don't mind but may be they will quailfy at least semi final...Australia is a good country but just developing in football.And the players can't play good matches in Australian leauges...As i said before Brazil wiil win...
i think, brazil going to win the soccer word cup. Ronaldinho and other players are perfeck. My second favorite team is korea. 
Brazil is a worthy apponent, true
but we've still got some chance
!!!
I cheer for Croatia but why the trouble when Brazil is going to win. 
I don't care which country wins, but Australia will take 5 goals from Croatia, I bet!!!
Australians can take over that Josip (Joe) Simunic, which is Australian and Croat, rather choose to play for Croatia (He's not stupid, Croatia is far better country).

I think Brazil is going to win. But I hope England can get the cup this time though because they have the finest players this time. I mean Gerrard, Lampard, Rooney, Owen, Beckam, Joe Cole, etc. They have star players in all positions except for the GK ( that can be fatal). Even the forwards might not be able to score (Rooney is now injuried and Owen just recovered), they still have Lampard (top scorer of Chelsea) and Gerrard (Legend of Liverpool) to produce goals. Still, England always disappoints its fans in the World Cup....
There is alot of countries which could make the semi-finals.
Can you please explain them. I want to know who you think's going to make it (apart from brazil).
Oh by the way brazil has even been beaten by france (but that was at france in 1998).

That was in the World Cup final when France were the best team in the world and had far and away the best squad. Even now they have a great squad. I don't personally think Australia have even a remote chance of winning the competition. For me the semis will likely include Germany vs. Italy and England vs. Brazil. I've made a little summary of what i think might happen at the world cup below:
| Code: |
Second Round
Germany vs. Sweden
Argentina vs. Portugal
England vs. Ecuador
Mexico vs. Holland
Italy vs. Croatia
France vs. Ukraine
Brazil vs. Czech Rep
Spain vs. South Korea
Quarter Finals
Germany vs. Argentina
Italy vs. France
England vs. Mexico
Brazil vs. Spain
Semi Finals
Germany vs. Italy
England vs. Brazil
Final
Italy vs. Brazil |
Australia, not even in the second round, you must be ging nuts

Maybe Australia will get to the second round but if they do i think they will lose to Italy or the Czech Republic. Australia's squad is weak compared with the bigger footballing nations.
maybe Croatia , I watched their amaizing match against Austria ... the team is in great codition .

Yea, but in last match against Iran they save draw 2:2 in last minute penalty. Week performance of Croatia Team. Great result for Croatia (maybe real) would be second stage of competition. After that, any higher place would be a miracle.
Australia is totaly outsider, but just for remember, Croatia was outsider in France 1998!!! This is the best in World Cup, any team have chance!!! Remember Senegal or Turkey at Japan/Korea 2002?

I think you've gone crazy, england will probably get in too.
The socceroos say they've "got germany 2006 all coverd
.
Let me tell you what it takes to win the world cup:
(Pure) Practice, Reading (the shooter) skills, (ball) curling, etc

well I still beleive in the home advantage so I gotta go with germany winning, but Ronaldinho might make himself a legend after this world cup, guys might whant to check out pele's opinion about this world cup:
"
Pele has tipped England and Italy to be Brazil's biggest challengers at the 2006 World Cup finals in Germany.
"I've seen a lot of games in the last two years and England have improved a lot," the 65-year-old told BBC Sport.
"Of course if nobody gets an injury, then I think England, Italy or Brazil will be in the final.
"But if I have to name a team to win, I name Brazil. Not only because of their quality, but also because they have two players in every position."
Asked whether England can win against Brazil, he said: "They can beat them of course, but the World Cup is very tough.
"If you have a chance to play two legs then we can compare, but the quarters, semi-finals and final are one game each.
"Anything can happen in one game. That is the problem with the World Cup, it is a box of surprises."
Holland - Australia 1:1
good game Australia!!!
Yeah, I watched the match...
That match was full of surprises. And I probably agree with Pele's judgement that Brazil will win. England will hav an excellent chance of that too.
As for Australia, given their performance against the dutch, I think they do have the potential to make it in the second round, provided that the players don't tire out and the luck goes their way. Plus, Guus Hiddink is an excellent coach whose coached teams that were in the semis in the last two world cups.
I think that is how far they can go.
Hey if it was on at your place did you see Australia vs. Grece (mind my spelling). Well I only saw half of it because I was very very tierd so I had to go to bed and I forgot to see the replay in the morning
.
Now my mate (
) thinks both Australia and England will definetly get into the second round.
I think if Australia didn't get in the second round Australia probably wouldn't be qualifying
.
i see too much emphasis on australia.. i disagree. i don't believe either that brazil will win, the fauvorite never wins.. germany has a great chance being hosts... but argentina can always win. i won't underestimate neither the strength of the czechs and dutchs....
I'll start with Italy even if its guaranteed most of the time they will be kicked out even if they go on a winning streak, But I'll also root for Brazil, They seemed worthy in 2002.
Just 2 days now until it kicks off, I really can't wait! Italy's last two friendlies haven't gone too well with draws against switzerland and the ukraine, also Nesta and Zambrotta could miss the opening game against Ghana which worries me a bit. What about Michael Ballack! If he isn't 100% fit it could prove a disaster for Germany.

Good to see some people are still wise. France is ging to win, and that's obvious. Franck Ribery is the Man, with a capital m. He is the new Zidane, a leader in his time. With him on our team, we are assured to win. Fabien Barthez is also back after his suspension, and WOW he's ready to rock. As to joshdifabio's prediction, I highly doubt Italy would beat France. The Del Piero phenomena is over, Italy is without a chance; it's over. Better support a more healthy and fit team like France.
Joshdifabio's code, my predictions
Second Round
Germany vs. Sweden
Argentina vs. Portugal
England vs. Ecuador
Mexico vs. Holland
Italy vs. Croatia
France vs. Ukraine

Semi Finals

Anyone feel nostalgic '98??
I have a feeling Germany will be in the final game !
Most probably it'll play against Brazil.
BRAZIL all the way!!!!!!! No doubts here!

I think, brazil going to win the soccer word cup. Ronaldinho and other players are perfeck.There too many famous star in this brazil.
The Brazil game was actually not so interesting. Either they poker or they really have to wake up.
I strongly believe that Germany has the best chance to win. They have the home advantage and are constantly improving. And so far they are the most powerful team. If they don't out play their opponents they outrun them.
I'm also betting on Brazil. I like their philosophy. They really look like they love playing and have fun doing so.
France is all stressed out because they have won once and was completely out the last time over. I think that they won't be able to hold the pressure again. I'm not even sure they would get the the quater...
Sad really, because when they won on '98, I was in France and I had a really great time with their FWC.
Well..after first round of first round i'm not so sure Brazil is gonna win this cup. I think Italy and Germany will make it to the final.
Second round games shows that every team can beat every favorit, so I think this championship would be most unlikely ever...

I think Argentina play best football on championship. I think they have good chance to be a winner!
Brazil looked good. I'm just happy that the U.S. tied Italy today!
I'm from Australia too but i support ENGLAND!!!!!!
Now that Rooney is semi match fit, I think England will win it.
My favourite player is Crouch. He's so funny with this stick like limbs and what about his robot dance? It's hilarious!
I hope Crouch doesn't get put on bench. Eriksson should put Owen on the bench. He's done nothing in the 2 matches.
Regarding the Australian team, I got to say they've got dodgy defence. Too slow. The attack is good tho. I like Kewell and Cahill.

Sena

I think Argentina has a great chance. They will win their group then head onto the second round and probably play mexico with no struggle. Their third round will be a real test when they face a tougher team than they have seen so far. Crespo and Saviola seem to be working fairly well to carry their team and i believe they will surprise a lot of countries.

what is this SOCCER???????????
its called FOOTBALL...because you play the ball with your foot..eh????
ENGERLUND HAVE BEEN SHOCKINGLY BAD
my dark horse before the competition was italy..not so sure now.
argies look good..unfortunately..and france make me laugh...sick of all the brasil hype
if england dont do it im rooting for germany or holland
uhmmm ... i think argentina or brazil will be the world champion this time...
After waatching few games, I think Germany is most probably the winner. I liked Spain too 
Yeah, i have to say now that Argentina and Spain are looking pretty hot! I think Brazil and Argentina have to be the favourites, and they cannot meet until the final which is great! I think the semis will be Argentina vs. Italy and Portugal vs. Brazil.
Yech, now i belive Germany, Argentina and Holand going to fight for the Cup. well Brazil ofcorse will be there, but they just do not look like winning it!
and I really want for Ukraine to go through, shure they can show some tricks (despite Spanish defeat
)
After a little simulation i think, that Italy have gr8 chance to play in 1/2 with argentina and if they beat them ... they will play in finals ... but who knows
They have good motivation (problems in SerieA) and they want to satisfy fans 
Second Round
Germany vs. Sweden
Argentina vs. Mexico
England vs. Ecuador
Portugal vs. Holland
Italy vs. Australia
South Korea vs. Ukraine
Brazil vs. Ghana
Spain vs. France
Quarter Finals
Germany vs. Argentina
Italy vs. South Korea
England vs. Holland
Brazil vs. Spain
Semi Finals
Germany vs. Italy
Holland vs. Brazil
Final
Germany vs. Brazil
Germany will win it all .

great summary dude!
I would love to see my to favorite teams brazil and england lock up in the finals! Sadly it seem shighly improbable with the only possibility being a semi-final clash..
yet I predict a brazil-germany final...
I dont think so ... Germany will lose with Argentina
rest ... ok , but I hope, that Italy beat Argentina and there will be a final Brasil-Italy 
i think Brazil will win the worldcup , but Argentina may surprise them ...about England i think they will be out in quarters ....... I can see Brazil vs Argentina fiale and score line will be Brazil 2 - Argentina 1
Now Australia has suprised a few people who thought Australia would not get into the second round. I definetly think Australia has improved, Let's see if they get into the round of 8 and 4 and the grand final

Gahna is on the road to victory
SCREW BRAZIL :twisted:HAHAHA
If Argentina get past germany today no doubt they will take the cup. Another intresting game to watch this weekend will be the brazil - french game. france seems to be getting better as the tournament goes along but if they have to face england then its over for them. my guess for the final game would be argentina vs england 2-1.
Argentina is just going home now...
I believe in a Germany x Brazil Final 
I'm pretty sure Brazil will win. They've won 5 times already, and they should have no trouble this time either. Plus, they're playing pretty good. And seeing how the US is out, I'm rooting for Brazil then. (They from South America, which is connected to North America)
Personally, I think the FIFA World Cup Final is going to be Brazil Vs Germany.
It's probably going to be a brazil win - because unfortuntely the best teams (switzerland and Australia) got knocked out (some bad reffing involved) 
If brazil passes france and england beats portugal then i think the semi finals will be extremely exciting:
Germany vs Italy
and
Brazil vs England
in the first semi final, if italy plays the way it played today then i would certainly say that it will go to the finals.
and in the second semi final, if brazil improves its play a little bit and england stays on its bad performance then brazil would qualify to meat italy in the finals.
Now in the finals, if brazil and italy do meet, then italy would most probably go for a 10-0-0 formation with all players on the defense so it'll be hard as hell to score any goals but it'll be good if one goal manages to be scored but that's all speculations.
Ha France is now going to win (thought Austalia was but now ther're out) unless germany takes advantage of being at home.
It looks like Germany and France are reaching the final game. I saw yesterdays's match between Brazil and France, it was great. France played very well!
