Official Mascot

With the world cup in soccer inching closer every day, I decided to get this thread going, Ill be posting updates of all the games, and be free to post comments/opinions

 

 

Group A

Paraguay

Brazil

Argentina

Chile

Uruguay

Ecuador

Colombia

Venezuela

Bolivia

Peru

 

The top 4 teams qualify for the FIFA World Cupâ„¢. The 5th placed team enters a home-and-away playoff with the 4th placed team from North,Central America & Caribbean

[angrygar]

Yeah germanyy all the way man!!

[audere]

Argentina!

[MJ-Juraimin]

MY point of view

ENGLAND IS OVERRATED!

SPAIN IS TO CONFIDENT.

France is lost with Zizou

Germany is underdog

Argentina, full of World class attacking player

but the defend??

Italy ,HAHA BYe2 the champion coz they not gonna win again

Brazil is very tricky.Dunga choose a discipline team with flair

Dutch nvr win world cup b4 but always unlucky.

 

N I still can't decide who should i put my money in??

[Man V.1]

England: I don't fancy them that much

France: Sad to say they are not at their best

Germany: Has a good squad but won't go that far

Argentina: Will definitely advanced to the last 8

Italy: Only depends on luck

Brazil: Doesn't seem so convincing during the friendlies. Most of their opponents are of smaller nations.

Holland: Will have a good chance this year.

Spain: Will lift the World Cup 2010!!!

 

If anyone wants the World Cup schedule in Singapore time, here it is --> http://www.straitstimes.com/STI/STIMEDIA/pdf/20091205/worldcup2010schedule.pdf

[yenyenpark]

I support Germany all the while.. but think Argentina and Spain could be in Finals..

 

but I going to support some African underdog.. probably they can repeat South Korea reaching semi final..

[audere]

One more day to World Cup!!!

[MJ-Juraimin]

France got a bunch of good player but the manager HAiZ...

[RedGixxer688]

Ok, since i got all my predictions correct yesterday, I thought why not again today.

 

Algeria vs Slovenia = Slovenia to win comfortably, 2 goals or more.

Serbia vs Ghana = A close 1 goal victory for Serbia.

Germany vs Australia = Very tricky one here, but I'll say Germany to nick it, one goal.

 

Anyone else wanna give it a try?

[RedGixxer688]

Wow!! Just observed odds for Algeria vs Slovenia. Slovenia (-1.5) was down from $4.20 this morning to $3.60 now. That is a big shift. Is that a sign of a big trashing for the Algerians??
