Yea i think their manager is but i was talking player wise... sorry i should have clarified lol...
Arjen Robben
...
Everyone is riding Spain's bandwagon. Years ago, Spain was never this popular. I mean it was very favored, but never like how it is now. I suppose this has something to do with Barcelona, and Fifa 10, but that's just my opinion. :laugh: I guess Spain's team IS different now than before, but still...
Don't disrespect Argentina, they may have a bad manager, that's a given but you have to agree they have more skill than the US and most of the other teams. I think it's gonna be either Argentina, Brazil, Spain or South Africa. South Africa has good luck with home or did you guys forget the rugby match?
Well Austria performed quite well still, it was Switzerland who I thought didn't perform to their potential.Yes, Home Advantage is a massive boost. But you do need some skill to go with it. I mean look at Austria and Switzerland, Euro 2008..Both did nothing.
Argentina's biggest trouble will probably be Renaldo and Renaldo (Renaldinho)
Sorry but Ivory Coast could beat US. and I live in the US...
Netherlands is going to take it all the way.
"The Netherlands, most famously known as the greatest footballing nation to never have won the World Cup, is going to be looking to end their curse once and for all."
They've got the Fab Four:
Arjen Robben
Robin Van Persie
Rafael Van Der Vaart
Wesley Sneijder
Not to mention Klaas-Jan Huntelaar, who I can't even put words to describe how good he is and WILL be. He's still pretty young but get some of the greatest touches on the ball.
The Netherlands was the first team to qualify for the World Cup and had no losses.
In their recent friendlies, they beat Hungary 6-1, and Ghana 4-1.
The Netherlands is a sleeper.
Everyone is riding Spain's bandwagon. Years ago, Spain was never this popular. I mean it was very favored, but never like how it is now. I suppose this has something to do with Barcelona, and Fifa 10, but that's just my opinion. :laugh: I guess Spain's team IS different now than before, but still...
I just don't think any team are as mentally eager as the Dutch. Blast me all ya want, but you can't hate on an opinion.

I'm feeling as though the U.S. is going to upset England. But they're not going far at all..
And every team can be beaten. There are some CRAZYYY upsets in soccer history.
Remember how just last year the U.S. beat Spain and gave Brazil a run for their money?
It's not just about skill, but it's also about leadership, morale, and MANY other variables.
Everyone's human. Soccer players are human. Humans make mistakes. Mistakes happen in soccer.
well most african countries have skills but not the resources to develop those skills. but south africa with the home advantage has a good chance to win. all they need is to want it.
I'm afraid I agree about South Africa, Last 16 at the very best.Of course, Ivory Coast are a very good side.
I think Holland could win it too (though being English have to say they will). They'll miss Robben though.
Not really, home advantage could help them a bit but they really dont have the required quality to take the cup on anything other than luck.
Hard group stage for them never mind winning the tournament.
France will be the under-performers this year though.
