Argentina is alrite but when i watched them play, it seemed like the game got interesting every time Messi touched the ball. Underdogs i guess will be Ivory Coast / South Korea? |

Both Brazil and Spain can't be in the final four. Read how the structure of the knockout round works. Brazil and Spain will likely be playing each other. Edited by Sl1cK, Jun 15 2010, 06:14 PM.

I can see Spain and Germany going into the finals, but who knows Spain plays tomorrow. I also see Italy being in the semis, they ALWAYS start off slow and always are the underdogs because no one ever speaks of them in any World Cup, even in 2006 everyone said Brazil was going to win and no one mentioned Italy, because of their slow start against Ghana and USA.. They tied to USA and barely won against Ghana.. But I don't see them actually winning this year, with the team they have this year. Theirs always a possibility though, I do think they will get better while the world cup progresses, but is it going to be enough to beat Spain is what worries me atm.. I can see them beating Holland, but again Holland is very good/young/ and strong Maybe I'm a bit biased though Edited by The Situation, Jun 15 2010, 06:31 PM.

yes you are, because Italy, just like Portugal and England have turned to be playing like shit ( like usual ) Spain has a stacked team, Xavi, Iniesta, Fabregas??? Let alone the two best combo strikers, Villa and Torres...only a team like Germany and Brazil can beat them, but even those 2, may be pushin things a lil bit. |

Italy just isn't that good this year. I realize they start slow, but there just isn't anything there that suggests a finals run. I like Spain or the Netherlands to win it all. Spain is stacked- they should win it all if they show up ready to play. |

Italy playing like shit, like usual? watt I stated that they start off slow and everyone always says their bad even in 2006 they did, but guess wuttt.. I do agree they don't have the players they had in 2006 that can outplay Spain, but I don't see anything special in Xavi/ Fabregas. Torres and Villa rape though, so I have to agree with that. I agree though, Spain def has a good team, but I don't think their taking it.. Germany over Spain imo, we'll just have to see, anything can happen, like France beating Brazil in 2006, that shouldn't had happened, now its like a team that's going to beat Spain.. It's Soccer, not nfl, nor basketball where you know what team is going to win before the game even starts. edit: Italy also has Di Natale and Pazzini, they can match up with Villa and Torres imo if they both start.

That's the other team that I would love to win.. I'm in love with Snieder, he used to bench for Real Madrid back in like 2008 because they didn't know what he was capable of and never gave him a chance, but guess what... Huge mistake for giving him away to Inter |

You don't see anything special in Fabregas? He's arguably the best midfielder playing in the World Cup. Trust me, I've seen him play a lot of matches for Arsenal. He's a wizard in the midfield. Xavi is damn good to. The only team that has as quality a midfield/front line as Spain is the Netherlands. |

I don't pay attention to English Soccer, but when he played in UEFA, never saw anything from him.. Xavi failed against Inter, which is why I'm saying I see nothing special in them, don't pay attention to Spanish league nor English.. All about UEFA is where I judge my opinion about a player, which isn't as much as seeing them play all season round, but in UEFA is where it matters the most, just like the world cup Edited by The Situation, Jun 15 2010, 06:59 PM.

oh LORD, baddy, u needa start watchin EPL, cuz Fabregas is the Most Improved Player of the year, and damn right he did work with Arsenal and he will do so with Spain. Every player who plays a position in Spain, knows how to play it, and you have heard there name at least once. Thats not the case with Brazil and Germany, when they got there roster cleanups going on, with all the young talen comin in and old ones leavin. |

i love how Germany plays, but i dont like it when national teams have players that are not from that country play for them, like 3/4 scorers for Germany against Australia werent even German. but hey wt can i say, everythings about money these days. oh and podolski has the best goal of the world cup atm, next to the south african guy who scored the first goal, and muller for germany, and maicon for brazil |

Fuck EPL.. I'd rather watch Serie A tbh, as I said though I judged them from UEFA, where they didn't do much when I watched. I never said Spain was bad, I just think Germany played very well and is a very good team and can beat Spain.. '' all the old ones leavin'' happened to most teams lol, I'll have to see tomorrow because I didn't watch most of the players from Spain play this year because I only pay attention to UEFA/ Serie A |

Judging them from UEFA standpoint, didn't see Xavi do anything vs Inter [ all 3 games ] and Fabregas only watched one Arsenal game in UEFA and he wasn't doing anything.. Tomorrow I'll see |

um ty Inter,btw Baddy 2008 Fernando Torres 3rd best fifa player, behind ronaldo as 1st and messi as 2nd 2009 Xavi 3rd best fifa player, behind messi as 1st and ronaldo as 2nd looks like Spain gunna win its first world cup and not to mention Villa plays like a beast in international games and with Puyol Sergio Ramos and Capdevilla playin D, thats prolly the best D line. and plus they got ppl like Xabi Alonso, David Silva, Raul, and Reina playin ( all underrated but Raul is pretty old ) |
