    okay, guys. i know we've all got that one nation that we root for, but let's look at the facts. Who will be crowned Champions at South Africa 2010?

    I'm talking legit, proven knowledge. Prove you know who will win.

    England, obviously (kidding).

    Pains me to say this: Argentina.

    Cue the Nani jokes...

    Argentina....they have arguably the two best attacking players in the world...Aguero and Messi now under the tutelage of their idol and mentor....

    Factor in other beasts they have like Tevez,Ledesma and the experience of Zanetti and Cambiasso....you have a neutron bomb!

    We must face it. Holland will NEVER win. hahaha ALWAYS good players but never win. And england is a totally different team with Capello. Much more offensive and he is a WAAAAAAYYY better manager than Sven! Sven scored a goal and 9 out 11 went back to defend. Capello goes for more!

    how far do people think brazil will go?id say semi's at least,although it all depends on how they play.the whole power over style thing wont get them there.sure it works against riquelme,but against the germans?dont think it would be so effective

    they have great attacking prospects...looking very suspect at the back though.they really need to ditch the 2 defensive midfielders formation,its not working out

    Think Pato, Robinho, Adriano up front.

    Dinho and a few others in midfield, and Gomes ( :lol: ) in goal.

    with luis fabiano,guilherme,kerlon among others as backup for the strikers

    and then they have anderson,douglas costa,hernanes,diego and others for midfield.....on paper they should beat anybody

    Douglas Costa? Seriously?

    And Anderson is a nobody.

    But ya, Fabiano is good, Diego and Hernanes as well. Elano??

    have you seen douglas?ive seen him play a couple of times,admittedly not enough to say if he will be as good as some make him out to be but he's defintely got talent.its not surprising to see all the interest in him

    my god,a liverpool fan saying anderson is a nobody......must make steven gerrard even less than a nobody so

    Heh...I'm not a Liverpool fan. They've got good players, better than CHelsea, but Chelsea will always be my team.

    Anderson is not as good as Gerrard, though. You HAVE to admit THAT...

    oh right.sorry,just the liver part from your username led me to believe that.

    anderson may not be as good as gerrard,although he could become as good as he reaches his peak,but he did a mighty fine job against him last season....and fabregas.cant say hes a nobody if he can do that now,can you?

    Fabregas, Denilson, Tuure, and Van Persie. Those are the only good Gunners.

    And there's LIVERpool, chelSEA. Yeah. If you remember, oh, about 5 months ago, rhian and I teamed up against the wrath of UTD and Gooners. Nope, I was not a Liveprool fan then.

    My dad is English and I've always supported England since I was small. And besides the Guatemalan national team (and league) suck!

    Our best player ever was Carlos "el pescado" (the fish) Ruiz, top goal scorer of MLS with Galaxy about 4 seasons ago. Well, he is our best international footballer but our "best" in general was Carlos Plata who is like 38 now and is the top scorer in the history of guatemala. He scored vs Brazil in 96' or 97' in a 1-1 draw, our best result in international football ever! haha

    No I haven't! It's my dream to go watch a game at Anfield! haha I really can't believe how I've never been to England to be honest. Been to Germany, Spain, France and Holland but never England! :( Although I'm in a process of convincing my parents to let me go my next summer vacations! :mrgreen: lol
