Irlandos Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 I think it's about time FIFA stopped expanding the WC. Some of these groups are walkovers for the seeded clubs. :tdown: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paraguay is a good defensive team, but Sweden got some good goal scoring trio in Larsson, Ibrahimovic, and Ljundberg. It's a team (Sverige) that knows how to expose mistakes from opponents, to strike them hard when needed. I follow the Swedish NT since World Cup 1994, this side gets even better against strong oppositions. For your part about African teams, watch out for Ivory Coast, there a fun team to watch. They could upset teams in Group C (Netherlands, Serbia, Argentina). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loup Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 BERLIN (AFP) - West Germany's 1990 World Cup winning captain Lothar Matthaus has hit back at a report in Italy that he manipulated Friday's 2006 World Cup draw. Matthaus had the task of drawing teams from Pot Four and Italian television channel Sky Italia reportedly accused him of picking up a ball for Italy's group before putting it back into the bowl to pull out another instead. The television channel claimed prepared hot and cold balls allowed Matthaus to know who he was picking, as he pulled out the United States, seventh in the FIFA rankings, for Italy's group. "The Italians are mad if they think that," former Inter Milan star Matthaus informed Bild daily. "I had no idea which ball corresponded to which team. That is utter nonsense." Italy were handed a tough draw for the 2006 World Cup finals, running from June 9 until July 9, with the Czech Republic, Ghana and the United States their three opponents in Group E. :LOL: :LOL: :LOL: :LOL: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
