I was having flashbacks to the state of Aussie soccer 10 years ago when we were busy getting our arses kicked by New Zealand That said the team is still underdone physically, the side will improve with more game time, and be able to apply more pressure and play more physically (and a little more mobility) with opposing teams as the tournament drags on (though never a top speed). They need to rethink the attacking plan a little, I know they're trying to give more ball to Viduka but he's lazy in the best of conditions. Argentina will be too consistent for the scizophrenic Mexican side, i'm sure the Argentinians will turn the ball over far less, generally play a tighter brand of football and come out ahead 2-0 or so... though there's a small possibilty i'm biased.
In the midst of morning the viking king will awaken. He will arise and set foot on his percieved throne that will never be taken. The brave Dane will step in the ring with a living titan. He will give a valiant effort, but will be throughly destroyed. It's sad for some that no viking axe will lay touch on the supernatural Welshman. I just hope that no fool labels the fallen King as a tomato can. He will rise from defeat and smash warrior Lucian Bute in comeback. But he will forever be scared by that legendary, brutal, supernatural attack.
Wilkshire needs to be dropped, his marking defence is pityful. DanePugilist - I think Mexico can actually go on and win this tournament. They are a top 10 team and are in great form, and imo, the winner of this match will go on and win the tournament. Brazil have been pretty ordinary, but I'm still expecting them to limp into the final. I don't think Uruguay will beat them, despite them beating the host nations (Venuzuela) 4 - 1. Mexico to win Copa America... Australia to hopefully get their **** together and win the Asian Cup. :good
Awesomeness The time has come for the famous box off JC will be in hell, and his future will be rough. Kessler is now in his prime, and its no joke while Calzaghe himself will probably choke. I also pray for China hand Joe's state of mind He needs his sleep, and a new darling to find. No worries though, Calzaghe will always be fab and we will be laughing in victory at Blockys crap.
I'm predicting a Uruguay v Argentina final and unfortunately i'm picking Australia to bomb out in the semis
Yes, they look very awesome atm - but I have seen this scenario too many times to believe they can pull it off. Look at Venuzuela - they looked great, only to choke to meager Uruguay 4-1, which the dominated against in the last group match. I have no doubt that Australia will win... they have the best of teams ever, imho. Hope it suffices...
HAHA... actually I thought for a while with the abs, but got distracted by MSN and chose crap instead.
:-(dekkers you're on the blocky doubting bandwagon too:-( forgive them blocky.they know not what they do.
You need to open your eyes mate. Cant you see, he has nothing but hate. How can it be, that you with him can relate. When using words like ******s in a debate.
