your wrong boston fan, ghana is in poor form and only goals they have scored came from PKs.
lol Italy
Yeah, nothing like scoring 4 (6 if the correct calls are made) goals in 3 games to win your group vs only scoring on penalties.
The US could very well make it out of their group and into the top 4. Your hating is humorous.
lol Japan ting all over Denmark.
In all fairness to Honduras, their best player didn't play the opening game and basically limped his way onto the field in the second one... Their best defender couldn't even make it to South Africa due to a knee injury... They are better than their World Cup performance would indicate...
As for Costa Rica, who lost their two-leg intercontinental play-off against Uruguay 2-1 last November, they're still a quality team... they recently beat Switzerland on European soil prior to the start of the World Cup... and despite what the Uruguayans will say... gave them a scare... CONCACAF should have 3 guaranteed spots...
On another note... I'm intrigued by the possibility of a 40 team World Cup Field for future World Cups...
What would initially make sense would be to continue dividing the field into 8 groups; but instead of 4 teams per group, each group would now field 5 teams. Logistically, the amount of matches per group would jump to 10 games instead of 6. The knockout phase is where it would get interesting... One could structure the opening knockout round to field the best 32 teams by adding an additional round... OR... continue with the current structure of 16 teams and end up picking only the top two teams per group. Doing the latter might mean that the 4th game of group play could lend itself to under-the-table deals. Doing the former would mean that only one team per group would be eliminated in the first round.
In the first format a total of 112 matches would have to be played out to determine the World Champion (and the 3rd place team). The second format would require 96 matches. By comparison, the current format requires a total of 64 matches... In the first format the winning team would have played a total of 9 matches. The second format 8 matches. The current format requires 7.
And another African team bites the dust.
Finishes last in the group, with not even a single point...
6 groups done and only 4 eurotrash teams in....
See, this is what I'm talking about when I said that you shouldn't care about how many European teams advance to the latter rounds compared to the other Continents 'cause the difference of slots it's just too big, I think we can all agree that European teams have made a terrible first round and South Americans a perfect one, and yet UEFA has 6 teams in the second round and Conmebol 5.
LOL premature ejaculation thread
wow can't believe we're the continent's only hope if Paraguay doesn't make it
lol I know what a meltdown. I'm over the incident yesterday, ing make it to the final at least!wow can't believe we're the continent's only hope if Paraguay doesn't make it
rofl.
Again, Ive said it yesterday and this can be applied to this situation too; this is another example of why people shouldnt talk so much before they know the results. Anything is possible
Uruguay + paraguay >> argentina + brasil
lol
This doesn't change the fact that European football is overrated, the Eurocup isn't harder than the WC and they aren't head and shoulders above the rest of the world, they're in the same level as South America. It's obvious that Europe will get a lot more teams in the quarter, semis, etc., they get the triple of slots than any other region. I even said on this thread that Europe would get at least two teams on the semis.
LOL 4-0
LOL Same Level
No one say the EC is harder. Everyone say the groupstage is harder which is true.
Yes they do, and explain to me how the group stage is harder when a team like Germany or other powerhouse can be draw in the same group with three teams that didn't even make the WC.
LMAO South America
>4-0
>Claim same level

Of course, that's true and I agree (except for the overrated thing) That's also not the problem. We Europeans know that too. But it's just stupid these threads to ridicule teams before people know the results. Premature ejaculation, like many around here say.
Are you serious or trolling?
If you're serious, my response is that in 90 minutes anything can happen, Germany outplayed us today and won fair and square, but there isn't a 4 goals difference between these two teams, in fact a couple of months ago Argentina beat this same German team plus Ballack in Germany. They just played better than us today, but it doesn't mean that in the next game Argentina can't beat Germany, In football a simple play changes a game completely and a lot of times (a lot more than in any other sport) the best team ends up losing (I'm obviously not talking about this Argentina-Germany match).
Besides I'm talking in general, does Brazil stop beign the best team ever because they lost yesterday to Holland? Football is pretty even right now, there are a bunch of teams that can beat anybody in any given day.
LOL Ballack
LOL Brasil
LOL Argentina
Lmao italy
