Group E: Netherlands, Denmark, Japan, Cameroon

My predictions:

Group E: Netherlands, Denmark, Japan, Cameroon

I think Brazil will lose 2 out of 3 matches in Group G.

My predicted world cup '10 winner is:

England


What are your predictions?

I predict Brazil winning it all, despite Englands strenght, I would choose Germany over them in the UEFA.

I also hope US gets their arse handed to them, I sick of hearing the "soccer experts" of the US thinking we are a great team. We are shit with a shittier coach. Bunker Bob needs to be fired.

We all know that the winner will be... Sweden. Oh thats right we suck major balls and we didn't qualify. My hope is that Argentina takes the title, just because I want to see Messi play as much as possible. There are few higher pleasures. I can see Spain clinching it though, based on current form.

The group we drew was very fortunate, I can't wait to get this thing started.

My predictions:

A: 1st Mexico 2nd Uruguay
B: 1st Argentina 2nd Greece
C: 1st England 2nd USA
D: 1st Germany 2nd Australia
E: 1st Denmark 2nd Netherlands
F: 1st Italy 2nd Slovakia
G: 1st Brazil 2nd Ivory Coast
H: 1st Spain 2nd Chile

E: 1st Denmark 2nd Netherlands

Nono Denmark will finish last

C: 1st England 2nd USA



never, we will lose all four games, or maybe tie one.

Yeah, nice draw.. I think group D & G definitely are the toughest groups.. I mean a group with Brazil/Côte d'Ivoire/Portugal is insane! Here's my prediction;

a1 France
a2 Uruguay

b1 Argentina
b2 Nigeria

c1 England
c2 USA

d1 Germany
d2 Ghana

e1 Netherlands
e2 Cameroon

f1 Italy
f2 Paraguay

g1 Brazil

Champion: Netherlands (got to have some faith in our team )

Topscorer: Torres
Player of the tournament: Sneijder

Will be an interesting tournament.. I think the African teams will do relatively well, although in the end the European countries will dominate..

SF

I like the USA's chances to get like to the round of 8. They did great in that federation cup and beat the #1 team in the world at the time. Winner... id love to see Italy win again... I'll guess Argentina or Spain tho.

Oh and if North Korea goes far I want to see some Kim Jong Il going crazy in South Africa

im sorry, a good confed cup team wouldnt be outshot by around 30 shots by the two top teams. we can beat spain but not denmark and struggle against coasta rica, whats up with that?

Spain vs Portugal in the final.

Spain to win 3-2, David Villa with a hat-trick and Cristiano Ronaldo getting a double.

My predictions:
Group A: South Africa, Mexico, Uruguay, France
Group B: Argentina, Nigeria, Korea Republic, Greece
Group C: England, USA, Algeria, Slovenia
Group D: Germany, Australia, Serbia, Ghana
Group E: Netherlands, Denmark, Japan, Cameroon
Group F: Italy, Paraguay, New Zealand, Slovakia
Group G: Brazil, Korea DPR, Côte d'Ivoire, Portugal
Group H: Spain, Switzerland, Honduras, Chile

Spain vs. Portugal

Portugal wins

im sorry, a good confed cup team wouldnt be outshot by around 30 shots by the two top teams. we can beat spain but not denmark and struggle against coasta rica, whats up with that?

I agree we are not that good, but really, we aren't that bad either. Our guys will step it up for the World Cup.

true, or at least we can hope, the biggest advantage our team brings to the table is its team chemistry.

The world would hate to have to admit we were good at soccer too
I think it'd have to take a huge outcome for anybody to really be impressed, and not just say we were lucky

Was it just me or did I hear that Holland wasn't "in the first list" and now we suddenly are? I dunno. Or was Denmark in the first list? They finished in front of Portugal and Sweden hah.

Group A: South Africa, Mexico, Uruguay, France*
Group B: Argentina*, Nigeria, Korea Republic, Greece
Group C: England*, USA, Algeria, Slovenia
Group D: Germany*, Australia, Serbia, Ghana,
Group E: Netherlands*, Denmark, Japan, Cameroon
Group F: Italy*, Paraguay, New Zealand, Slovakia
Group G: Brazil*, Korea DPR, Côte d'Ivoire, Portugal
Group H: Spain*, Switzerland, Honduras, Chile

* first. But more odd things will happen, i think the best way to predict is going by individual match.

Don't like the group much.. Denmark is my birthcountry after all.. At least one of my two teams should advance, definitely! (both should be possible)

Oh, yes. No one wants to admit the USA can play football, whatsoever.

Realistically speaking, you guys have a nice group. England is too tough, but Algeria is probably one of the weaker teams, Slovenia will be interesting.

My predictions:

Group A: South Africa, Mexico, Uruguay*, France
Group B: Argentina, Nigeria*, Korea Republic, Greece
Group C: England*, USA, Algeria, Slovenia
Group D: Germany*, Australia, Serbia, Ghana,
Group E: Netherlands*, Denmark, Japan, Cameroon
Group F: Italy*, Paraguay, New Zealand, Slovakia
Group G: Brazil*, Korea DPR, Côte d'Ivoire, Portugal
Group H: Spain*, Switzerland, Honduras, Chile

I think Spain or Netherlands will be the champion.

Group A: **South Africa**, Mexico(1st), Uruguay, France
Group B: Argentina(1st), Nigeria, Korea Republic, Greece
Group C: England(1st), USA, Algeria, Slovenia
Group D: Germany(1st), Australia, Serbia, Ghana
Group E: Netherlands(1st), Denmark, Japan, Cameroon
Group F: Italy(1st), Paraguay, New Zealand, Slovakia
Group G: Brazil(1st), Korea DPR, Côte d'Ivoire, Portugal
Group H: Spain(1st), Switzerland, Honduras, Chile


**I'd like South Africa to advance!! But this is just what I'm hoping for. What I really predict is that France is 2nd in that group.


finals: Spain vs Germany
Winner: Spain

I predict USA will actually do pretty well this year. I also predict that most Americans won't really care.
