well, i think we (argentina) are going to be the champions if fifa doesnt f*** us up like they did in america '94...
italy and france are my other 2 candidates. i think brasil will flop miserably and spain and england always reach the quarters and then chicken out. my surprise candidate for the semis is ireland. a very good and very tough team to beat. the organisers (japan and corea) will barely make it the 8ths if they do at all.
oh, as an anecdote, im going to watch the england vs argentina game in the first round with a very fanatic english friend of mine (plus 2 more args and a couple spanish). its going to be fun!
thats it i guess. [img]smile.gif[/img]
