I don't think the US will wind up in either group A or F - they're not a ...[text shortened]... m benefit from their status as hosts?
Look forward to an interesting and partisan discussion!

Brazils second XI could win the world cup
It's one big myth about Brazil playing better than the rest; I watch them on TV all the time and usually they are crap to be honest. Years ago you could rely on them producing a decent national team - round about Pele's era and just after that, but nowadays they are pretty mediocre.

Originally posted by sasquatch672Have u even watched an italy match since usa94, I doubt it, there a more attacking team now than usa ever was, just because they have the best defence in the world doesn't make them a defenceive team. Holland italy final, no south amerian team has ever won the world cup in europe and england second seeds give me break there a one man team and he's a prat.

GO Aussies!
After 30 odd years, we're finally there again. We'll promptly be discarded in the first round but who cares? Soccer (Football) is just too hard to score in so it kills the interest for me. At least I'll have a team to cheer for!
England won't win(as someone said) - apart from the Rugby world cup, they just don't seem to win anything!

Called the Ashes wasn't it?
One thing is certain - England will never lose to Australia at football.
[unless, of course, we let them win]
