December 9, 200520 yr looking forward to seeing either Holland or Argies out at the group stage' date=' Serbie are no mugs and qualified above Spain. Argies, goodbye :P[/quote'] True - that would be amusing!! Yet another "group of death", then?? :P
December 9, 200520 yr I think Germany got so lucky... which sucks, I wanted the US in the Germany group....
December 9, 200520 yr Spain got SO lucky Absolutely... I mean... Ukraine could have a tough time getting through, but now it seems they'll easily get through.... I really think 5 groups got incredible draws.... Mexico, Spain, England and France, and Germany... I think all them, but England would have been SCREWED with a team like the Netherlands, US, or Australia with them.... overall: I'm hoping the Czechs and Italians get unlucky in June...lol
December 9, 200520 yr I think Germany got so lucky... which sucks' date=' I wanted the US in the Germany group....[/quote'] I wanted them to be in group with Holland.
December 9, 200520 yr England are in the group of DEF, i.e. they'll DEFINITELY go through to the second round!! :D
December 9, 200520 yr I think Switzerland weren't that unlucky either. France again. :rolleyes: It will be difficult but it's definitely not impossible.
December 9, 200520 yr England are in the group of DEF' date=' i.e. they'll DEFINITELY go through to the second round!! :D[/quote'] LOL... DEFINATELY! I think the Swiss can do it... France is all over the place... I don't think the French are anything spec anymore... definately not looking like DEFENDING champions...

Don't underestimate them - they still have the likes of Thierry Henry!! :wink3:
December 9, 200520 yr I'm not... yeah they still got Henry... but the whole Zidane thing... just SHOUTS: "we suck, you have to come back, or we're dead in the water" I don't know... I think the French have an easy group, but I think the Swiss can easily get it done!
December 9, 200520 yr I'm happy we picked France. When we were one of the last three teams to be drawn, I feared we're gonna be in a group with Brazil...
December 9, 200520 yr Not that easily' date=' don't underestimate Korea.[/quote'] They'll just stuff themselves full of dog and won't be able to run around afterwards!! :P
December 9, 200520 yr Not that easily' date=' don't underestimate Korea.[/quote'] They'll just stuff themselves full of dog and won't be able to run around afterwards!! :P I hope so. :lol:
December 9, 200520 yr one month ago in the Leipzig Arena i had one of my happiest days in my entire life- I was on Coldplay gig there... now, in the same place, there was a draw, which also made me happy :cool: :) POLAND plays with Germany, Ecuador and Costa Rics. We smashed Ecuador 3-0 this year, and Costa Rica also doesn't seem to be a very difficult rival (although I remember, that they waer playing well, with Brazil, during last WC) I hope that we'll fight with Germans, for the first place, what may not be easy, but definitely possible... Lot of sympathy for all Aussie fans...;)
December 10, 200520 yr I think Germany had a lot of luck, but Poland and Ecuador are not so bad. Especially Ecuador is very good. They won against Argentinia during the qualifications in South America. By the way Ecuador-Germany is the game where I won tickets month ago. :D It's on June 20th, 4pm. in Berlin. :) I'm very excited. But it could be harder. In my opinion the "group of death" is group C, but I think England has also a good group. Paraguay with Valdez (forward) is very dangerous and Sweden has a good team with Larson and Ibrahimovic.
