They are quietly [...] I agree, but Yugoslavia were often expected to do something in the past but always flamed out. Maybe (like Spain) the new generation has different nerves. Who would I favour? Spain and Brasil. Given that, who would I think would win? Someone Else.

I thought the Argies played well and forced the Germans to play so poorly. So as not to upset Weafx gods or whatever? i will pick USA to win the World cup.

Germany were the better team. Against England? I would agree but they didn't get the job done and could have lost with a little bad luck. : > I was at Germany - Argentina. =A0Germany were under some pressure of : > expectations and they were not only miserable but also clueless. : > Argentina weren't that good, and didn't nearly have to be. : I assume you mean the friendly last week? Yes... : I thought the Argies played well and forced the Germans to play so : poorly. I thought so too at first, and then in the second half the Argies were playing ridiculously arrogant, and sloppy, football essentially fumbling away obvious chances to attack. The goal was an incredible blunder. For me the worst part though was losing Demichelis for the next 3 weeks (maybe more). : So as not to upset Weafx gods or whatever? i will pick USA to win the : World cup. No... just that I don't expect the obvious favourites to win. They'll find a way to screw up. Don't be surprised if this turns out to be Holland's first Cup. -- ciao, Bruce drift wave turbulence: http://www.rzg.mpg.de/~bds/
