Born in Catanzaro. I guess I should be supporting.. Reggina?
Interesting analogy which I actually kind of agree with. However, I wouldn't rule out Brazil winning it now, and losing it at home ... more of a shock, adds to the excitement.
Wrong thread. This was for the CAN Angola 2010 Thread.Favorites should be Egypt, Ivory Coast, Ghana and one of Nigeria/Cameroon. Tunisia are also pretty good, with some other West African sides reasonably good. Angola and Mozambique are very difficult to beat at home, and the only African World Cup representative missing from this tournament is RSA. Go figure ...
So you tip Germany...
Interesting... well, maybe... at least more realistic than ''Holland time''
who is gonna be Germany's star attacker? Mario Gomez? I have faith in him!
I'm gonna be rooting for Côte d'Ivoire, hopefully they go far in the tournament.
Kroos is nice prospect. But Oezil and Marin I would consider more, and maybe Mueller also.Yeah Gomez.. that guy Kroos behind the attack is really good too.
The US just announced the official host cities for their bids for 2018 and 2022.
Nashville made the cut!!!! WOOOOHOOOOO!!!

I can't believe they eliminated Chicago!! wtf?
You're right about England. I'd love to see us get it just to see how pissed they'd get though.
No offense, i don't think a country which never qualifies should host it. I suppose it'd be nice if it went to Qatar or Emirates or something but it's BS to give them auto-qualification.
kroos is what 19? Ozil 20... marin..20? Man germany got a future....
Uh oh... Pele's at it again, and it doesn't look good for Spain and their fans.

Yep right after Pele's declaration, betting odds have gone through the roof
if clint dempsey doesn't play the USA will most likely not get more than 1 point. Right now, charlie davies is out (huge blow), gooch is out (possibly a positive), and dempsey?
I don't even know who would replace dempsey... demarcus beasley? Does he even play anymore??? Freddie Adu? Has the hype died out yet. That plus no replacement for davies.... :-/. Can we just play with 3 GKs? Cause thats only position of depth
Beasley used to be a decent left winger for PSV. Haven't heard 'bout him a long time though.

hes in scotland now. where players go to die
I'm really worried about the African teams. They've looked very disorganized in Angola. The lack of intelligent players is telling, specifically in the middle.

When I saw Kafour attempting to marshal an offside trap ... against Brazil, of all teams, I knew it was over. I mean, the backline was closer to the center of the field than their goal when not in possessionAfrican team have kinda of always had this problem. Extremely talented but tactically naive. One game in particular is Brazil vs Ghana in 06. Brazil broke Ghana off side trap on many occasions.
