CroSpartacus 0 Report post Posted June 12, 2006 For those that watch the World Cup who are you hoping to win?I am rooting for my Croatia and hope we pull off and upset against Brazil tomorrow.Other teams I hope that will get far are Germany - It's entertaining watching them play and I'm sure they will fix their defense for the next game.I also hope some of the smaller countries and the underdogs get far in the tournament Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paul 0 Report post Posted June 12, 2006 I just changed my avatar to reflect the 'soccer season'Anyways, I'm rooting for Germany and/or Brazil... whoever makes it to the top. Brazil's just everyones favorite because they have won the FIFA World Cup more times than any other country and they have established for themselves the position of one of the best soccer teams ever!I was recently reading an article about the world cup, the writer referred to Ronaldhino as 'the best' striker (as opposed to the more politically correct 'one of the best'). This just shows how big a fanbase the Brazillian soccer team has.I used to like France, but after their disappointing performance in the FIFA World Cup 2002, I've just lost hope in them .GO GERMANY.. or if they fail GO BRAIL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tetraca 0 Report post Posted June 12, 2006 I wanted Poland to win, but it seems that's pretty impossible now. Now, I hope Argentina wins. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FLaKes 0 Report post Posted June 13, 2006 (edited) I hope some other country except Brasil wins (all though I think this will be impossible since they have an all superstar team). Im tired of Brasil winning, lets give someone else a chance. Im not saying that Mexico will probably win, but at least I hope they reach semifinalsfor once at least. I really like Italy, I guess I would like them to win the cup, but they are not playing like they used to. I hope Argentina or Germany wins. I like Australia too, though. They played really good versus Japan. So far, the World Cup has been awesome! What do you guys think?

CroSpartacus 0 Report post Posted June 13, 2006 There have been lots of upsets so far. Trinidad and Tobago managed to tie with Sweden, Ghana played fairly well with Italy, and Paraguay lost to England only an their own goal. I think any team has a chance to win this World Cup.

mik 0 Report post Posted June 13, 2006 France - Switzerland game just finished with nil-nil draw. My own opinion, France were terrible, but then the reason is obvious, if you are going to play mostly the same team that won in 1998, that are tired old men now, what else would you expect to happen.Croatia up next! Getting nervous yet CroSpartacus? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CroSpartacus 0 Report post Posted June 14, 2006 Well I was nervous when the game started. Even though we lost 0-1 I think we played well, Brazil only got a long-shot goal over us but from then on I think we did a good job controlling the game in the second half. The Croatian players did a good job pushing for the offense and only needed to capitalize on the chances they had of scoring. But a pretty good performance against the former champions brazil.

CroSpartacus 0 Report post Posted June 15, 2006 So far there have been lots of close games ending with a goal at the last minute: Germany on Poland and today Sweden on Paraguay. Also England barely got 2 goals near the end of their game with Trinidad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wilson Cook 0 Report post Posted June 16, 2006 I think the end will be Italy VS Spain. Italy is one of the greats too, but the past two world cups they did not make a good showing. However they have a very good squad this year and their first game against Ghana shows that. I think Spain also found its Cup to shine in. It's been hiding for so long in international tournaments. Germany, Brazil, Argentina and France are good contenders as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
