Irlandos Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 The poll of polls in WC 2006... So, who will win it all? Will it be a European side on European soil? Is Brazil stoppable? Will the star-studded Argentinian side walk away with the honours? Vote and let us know. PS. Apologies as some strong outsider teams were left outside the box of choices (Czechs, Mexico, etc.).

Kanadezos Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 I believe Brazil is the team to beat. Anything is possible of course, however there is just too much talent and very gifted players on Brazil. I hope we will have an exciting World Cup final (along with all the games.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slick13 Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 i voted for argentina! but only 1 time time has a non european side won the wv in europe(brazil in 1958 i think) therefore a think germany or italy will win it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evalagoal Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 1 thing is for sure.... GREECE WON'T (What a shame) We need to change our ways our NT conducts itself so we can make it to the European finals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dark_horse Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 I wish I could say Sweden, it would certianly be Czech Republic. My second choice is Netherlands. I think Sweden would face Germany in the last 16, that's where it would end our run, otherwise if we face Poland instead. :hypocrite: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AEKARA-YIA-PANTA Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 I'm going with a team not listed.....Team USA will surprise many at this World Cup.

Irlandos Posted June 5, 2006 Author Share Posted June 5, 2006 The truth is: none of us here in Europe know what to expect from the US! In 2002 they surprised me by going through against Portugal and Poland. They do it with a lot of teamwork, pretty much as Greece did in Euro 2004. Who knows what they'll do in 2006? :huh: Personally, I expect a lot of "uno a zero"s from Italy (can't wait to see this Toni kid) but...can anyone stop a front line of Adriano and Ronaldo supported by Kaka and the one and only Ronaldinho?

Neco_25 Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 I have a feeling that BRAZIL is over-exagerrated. Okay, Ronaldinho Kaka ZeRoberto Adriano Ronaldo look great but has anyone notice that Ronaldinho fades in big games (aganst Arsenal in Champions Cup final)? and I think that NOT BRAZIL but EGLAND is the team to beat... If Brazil offence is very strong dont writeoff ENGLAND. Gerrard Lampard Owen Becks Rooney/Crouch is a very good sub-team. And ENLGAND have a quite easy road till quarters (second round play with probably ECUADOR-POLAND). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The2ndMouse Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 England Mature enough, Settled Coach, Good Players, Depth on the Bench I dont say that because I am sure. Its a matter of who is better prepared for a two week tournament as it always proves to be the case (see Greece inthe Euro) ... But with the way I see the English issue... its simply a case "if not now, when? " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irlandos Posted June 6, 2006 Author Share Posted June 6, 2006 ...when they learn to defend! :P If any European side is going to break through (I'm not saying any will) it's going to be Italy with some fine defending and Luca Toni doing what Paolo Rossi did in 1982.

Neco_25 Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 after their demolition of Ukraina, I haveto say SPAIN is a serious contender... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziaka Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 Don't know who will win it, but I think Germany will be in the final. They always are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAKIS Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 I AGREE WITH ZIAKA. GERMANY IS THE TEAM TO BEAT IN THIS WC. THEY PLAY AT HOME AND THEY ARE HUNGRY FOR IT. FOR THOSE WHO THINK THAT ENGLAND IS A CONTENDER I SAY THEY WILL FOLD AND RELATIVELY SOON. MY PICK ALEMANIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 I believed that Brazil will be the champion again but after there performance yesterday i am not that sure anymore.Many big teams did not played well in the first games so i got to see them some more.

DUDE Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 The only a-list teams I can see winning it are Italy & Argentina. The other contenders are Czech Rep, Spain, and Portugal! If I was pushed I'd go for Spain or Argentina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irlandos Posted June 15, 2006 Author Share Posted June 15, 2006 From the first set of games I have seen, I will give the edge to Spain although it remains to be seen if they can continue to play well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GS1905 Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 Spain's performance was quite amasing.. They easily broke the resistance of Ukraine which was probably one of the best performers in Europe.. But it's bad to see Spain becoming another Germany as they had and Argentine (Mauro Pernia and a Brasileiro (Marcos Senna) in their squad... It's a shame that happened under their racist coach Aragones :LOL: ... But I have a feeling they will hit the rocks against strong opposition (FRANCE, BRAZIL, ARGENTINA...etc)... Quarters I think they can all do :( ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
