I’m enjoying the interest in the world cup talk here.
Been trying to watch as many games as possible.
I’m happy for Oz but I’m thinking they may be in over their heads this time round. Italy, although lacking some scoring ability, are still a world class team with great defence and are always a contender.
Regarding the other teams:
I have not been super impressed with Brazil thus far even though they are the favorites to win it all. In my opinion, should be Germany & Brazil in the final and unlike last time round, Germany may take it.
Have watched the last final meeting between these 2 teams many times and it was an evenly played game with Germany lacking the scoring finesse of Brazil, I think this has changed and the outcome will be different.
England have a strong squad but lost a key player and for some reason don’t seem to be able to rise to the occasion at world cup.
Spain has been very impressive but need to see what they can do against a tougher opponent.
Portugal & Netherlands – Similiar style and one of these 2 could also be dangerous.
Argentina – Like the way they are playing thus far but don’t see them making it all the way.
The Rest – Dont see any one else really having a good shot at it, but who the heck really knows…
