Went with Germany, though I was this close to voting for Brazil.
Oh, and technically, there will be 32 teams in the World Cup Finals.

Germany for sure. Unless Ballack goes down. I love the game as well. I picked Argentina to win it all in 2002 (you know, when they had the good squad) and was disappointed and pissed, never will pick them again.
I always root for Netherlands, but they are major choke artists, this year I will (hopefully) finally have the opportunity to cheer for the Ukrainian team.

Dude Argentina in 2002 had an OK squad... Their current team is better, yes, they were picked to win it all in 2002, but then they got in the hardest group (F). They ended up 1-1-1 only losing to England on a penalty shot and did not move on... That was crap.

By the way....in a related story....did you see in the latest FIFA rankings the US national team has moved up to #6 in the country? We're looking very good with Donovan, Beasley, and company. Our goalkeeping is solid, but I'm a bit concerned about our back line.
But should be a fun world cup....by the way, hopefully USA and Mexico will match up next week in the finals of the Gold cup. The semi match is tonight....which bring up even another topic. My friend and I consider ourselves pretty avid US soccer fans. But here's what has us ticked....the Gold cup happens approximately once a year. Pretty big event actually for soccer. But we cant get any of the games televised by an American broadcasting company. No ESPN, no fox sports, no ESPN2....nothing. I've had to hunt down sports bars that have Telefutura (a Telemundo network) to try to catch the games. Most cable companies (even here in So-Cal) dont have this channel. And the US soccer organizations ask themselves why soccer isnt bigger in the USA or why the support isnt as big as they think it should be.....well, not televising you're national team in a yearly tournament is a something you might want to look into! Alright...rant over. |

Whichever team has the wisdom and insight to sign Rich Scanlon.

Sucks, but it's just the Gold Cup. Nobody sends their A teams, nobody really cares too much. Doing well helps you in the rankings, but it's not a big deal.
