You had finally agree with me, woho
Asterisks are for yank sports. For futbol is champion or not, so...
1986
Champions Argentina
And that he did it against the english was sweeter, and fair.
USA will not even get out of there group or notch up a win, i find them very overrated, rankin 4th in the world playin against scrub regional teamsto get that high is nothing special, i dont think you guyz can beat australia.
Now back to australia, i just love it how the media here boasts about the team winnin it and all, everytime they win, they boasts, when they lose the media goes hide under a rock. I dont really care how australia does in the WC. Player to look out for josip skoko, my favourite player on the team who is very underrated. We only play good in friendlies compared to international compe ions
The team that i want to win it all is netherlands who is the darkhorse of the comp, they have the best squad imo for the last decade, too bad they sucked at qualifyin n , they remind me of a portland blazers 98/99 team, team stacked with talent at every position, but cant play together as a team.

So? odds are mostly done for BRITISH people who gamble on the World Cup. Since those odds are done by a BRITISH company, for ENGLISH fans, who usually bet for their team (that's ENGLAND), they don't give their own national team bad odds, it would be a financial disaster if somehow England manages to win.
Understood, Mike?
^^^ that was the transport for the aussies last time they made the world cup, 32 YEARS AGO!!!
^^ The majority of aussie soccer fans you will see are blokes who love to be drunk and very loud
you haven't seen Ronaldinho?MY AT UDE
THE HAND OF GOD
Maradona=The best player I have ever seen.
The other goal was much better,when he tore through the England defence.
But I OWN YOU!
Yes the second best player i`ve ever seen.If he can keep up the perfomances for a few more seasons who knows?You haven`t seen Ronaldinho
The European cup tomorrow(Henry v Ronaldinho).
He`s definately the best player in the world at the moment.But Henry on his day is capable of anything.Brazil and France are in with a great chance of winning World cup, just because these 2 on the day can do anything.
No Freddy adu?(U S A Squad)
Why not?
Last edited by iron mike tryson; 05-16-2006 at 07:23 AM. Reason: Why not?
They are bringin in a weak team
France for world champs.
Zidane and Henry are two of the best three players in the world (with Ronaldinho at the first place). GO FRANCE GO. Final France 4 Brazil 2
Never use that phrase at a match.(unless you don`t fear for your own safety).((Everyone will think your ))Go france Go
I don't think that we have many chance to win the world cup (italy). I don't know if you know what is happened in last 2 weeks in italy: the general manager of Juventus (Luciano Moggi) was discovered to phone the referee asking for help during the match of the Juventus. The police discovered that this system is running up from "at least) 1999 but many people suspect that all the juventus wins are fake (since Moggi was nominated GM of Juventus, in 1994). The indagine (i don't know the exact word in english) touch many people:1 general and 1 captain of Guardia di Finanza, the GEA (the biggest company of agency for player, where the boss is Moggi's son) Giraudo (another biggest man of Juventus) 2 former minister(of the intern and economy), many journalist and many many referees. Moggi is accused to be a "godfather" that created a biggest "cupola" in order to advantage Juventus.
There are several other clubls involved: Lazio, Fiorentina (all clubs have many helps from the referee, after have asked to Moggi). Siena e Messina (clubs accused to be "colonies" juventus: for example in Siene there are 7 players of juventus' proprietys)
Yeah,seen it on the news.
There`s talk of Juve being relegated to a lower division?
Is buffon involved?
