Assuming Shevchenko is healthy, Ukraine will be very very dangerous.

I'm rooting for the US. Not because I'm from the US, but because I think it would be hillarious if the country who gives the least of a shit about it won.

I think you'd be surprised by how much of a shit people would give if we made it to the Semifinals. And if we made it to the Finals it would be borderline pandamonium.

I doubt it. Even if it did get a rise out of people, the lasting effects would be minimal.

I'm not sure if Poland could be less creative offensively.

I think Ace's Ecuadorian Quarterfinal pick will ring true.

The interest level shown by my peers is much much much higher than I expected. I don't know how indicative this is of the rest of the country....I'd be interested to see what the ratings are for the games today. |

stop being so gay and making threads where you act like everybody should be in awe of your amazing picks and how the fact that you made picks is worth making threads like this. or just do it for yankee sports and tennis or whatever.
see i can just post my own thoughts like this without being pompous about it: i think that pseudo "group of death" really is pretty wide open (since i don't think either argentina or the netherlands are that good - mark riquelme tight and he'll lose interest and argentina will play badly and the dutch have loads of injuries and a squad that i don't think was even that great to begin with). i think people are underestimating germany though. if they were to sort out their problems at the back they could start being pretty dangerous. |

I'm embrassed to know this, but isn't the Czech Republic rated #2 in the world, or something? You don't have them getting past the group stage? Bold.

I fell asleep during the Poland-Ecuador game today. to be fair, I had to wake up at 5 am today so I was pretty tired, but I'm still standing by my story that soccer sucks.
even if the US made it to the finals, nobody would care. there would be some forced "oh wait everyone else in the world cares about this so maybe we should too" enthusiasm, but that's it. it actually would be pretty hilarious if we made it far, because out of all the countries in the world cup, ours is probably the one that cares about it the least. I mean, I think that the majority of sports fans think soccer sucks. |
