How Many Niners Are Soccer Fans? The Czech Republic is ranked #2 in the World and Italy always has a good team, so it will be a challenge for Team USA to advance to round 2 where we will have to go through Brazil.

I'm rooting for the USoA and Trinidad Tobago. Sadly, I don't think Trinidad is going to make it to round 2. What are the team in the US's group like?

Mighty Brazil and Croatia are drawn into the Australia's group, so they barely have any chance to advance to the knock-out stage.

How Many Niners Are Soccer Fans? I Love football! Didn't you hear Manip exercise is good for you!

My team won today!

http://www.wokingfc.co.uk/pages/homepage.asp


1) The dark horse is going to Australia, so many of the players play here in the UK and they'll been getting a good education ... remember they beat England not so many years ago!

2) Everyone is going to say Brazil, but Mexico are always a tough team to play .... but I'm going to say England ... because I'm English!

3) Rooney without a doubt ... He isn't articulate, he has a Chav for a girlfriend and he crap at parties and he's as thick as two short planks ... but he is a machine. He scores goals by instinct and this is very rare indeed. He is strong and aggressive and amazing to watch ... it is difficult to stand in his way.

4) Germany ... they are under a lot of pressure to win, but the plain tough is they are rebuilding their team, it may just not be strong enough upfront to win the contest.

How Many Niners Are Soccer Fans? 1. I think the Czech Republic will be the dark horses in the world cup, or perhaps the Ivory Coast.

2. It's hard to look beyond Brazil with regards to winning it, their attacking players are probably the best I've ever seen. That said they were trounced by Argentina in the qualifiers so you never know.

3. Top scorer will probably be Adriano, I don't see why people are touting Rooney for this as he's not a consistent scorer. He scores great goals sure but not enough of them. I'd like to see Sheva up there but he's got a poor team round him.

4. I would say Spain but then they always do so it wouldn't be a surprise. Maybe France or Germany but then the europeans generally do better in european hosted World Cups

Haha nice joke Minh, they have to pick a team from each continent for the qualifiers, not the actual world cup. Australia beat Urguay in the qualifiers and has now reached the World Cup, something which has not been achieved by Australia since 1974.

I'm not really a soccer fan, but if Australia is in any sport, I cheer for the Aussies. It isn't a winners or losers thing, it's just an Australia is there, so lets cheer us on thing Smiley

Cricket and Rugby are Australia's sports. Although England has beaten them in both (World Cup and Ashes)...

The England/Pakistan cricket series was not so good for us though.
