World Cup Poll!

[Kopite]

I'll put a few names out: Buffon, Julio Caesar, Gerrard, Iniesta (if fit), Evra, Drogba. (you may wanna get these players in your team, the.watchman!)

My team now is:

Casillas, Buffon
Cole, Maicon, Evra, Pepe, Vidic N
De Rossi, Lampard, Kaka, Malouda, Dempsey
Messi, Kuyt, Villa

Drogba is injured
(oh and dont copy, ok? )

also don't know if pepe will play, seeing as he hasn't played for real since december.

don't know what fantasy league you're with, but i dunno if its worth having two world-class gks that are costing you a lot each. esp if one isn't earning you points.

dont think maicon is first choice right back for brazil, i think dani alves is, so you might wanna take that into consideration. edit-judging by the numbering, maybe maicon is first choice right back. ditch what i wrote before then.

vidic (servia) is in group c, along with germany, australia + ghana. rather good chance of them progressing.

get rid of kuyt. lol

it's virtualsports, so no prices but two from each country max.
oh, and subs count for half their points

had dani alves, but after looking at game time, switched to maicon
and whats wrong with kuyt?

I voted New Zealand, even though they'd seriously be lucky to score a goal.

They have the same odds as North Korea

Actually, I'd rate North Korea as more of a chance to not score at all - considering the competitiveness of their group.

Come on England!

Naa na naa! Naa na naa! Naa na na na na na naa! WE'RE INGERLAND AND WE'RE GONNA SCORE ONE MORE THAN YOU!!! ENGLAND!!!

[superflya]

england can never get their chemistry right.

england can never get their chemistry right.

they might this time around. capello is no idiot when compared to ppl like dunga + maradona. that's why brazil and argentina will not win.

[superflya]

true, ive already written off italy.

true, ive already written off italy.

yepp. squad is too old. no firepower up front without cassano. pirlo still recovering from injury.

[Kopite]

anyone reckon Brasil will win? they have a pretty solid squad. though Kaka and Robinho may not be coming off a good season, they still have quality to win, I reckon. They have players like Luis Fabiano, Maicon, Lucio, Elano.. just to name a few. (though they left out Pato and Ronaldinho!)

don't think so. relatively solid backline with maicon/alves, lucio, thiago silva + juan + cesar. will all depend on the balance they strike with their midfield. they only seem to have two decent holding midfielders - ramires + silva (who is 33) melo is crap. so maybe, depends on dunga.

it was quite clear from euro 2008 that spain were/are the best team in the world. now everyone has jumped on the bangwagon lol.

We had a world cup sweepstake at school today, someone paid twice for two picks, and ended up with North Korea and Honduras.. LOL

France will be a dark horse.

Whenever anyone doesn't expect anything from them (eg. this worldcup, and last worldcup) they do well.
Whenever there are high expectations eg. euro 2008. they struggle
