There is going to be some serious shit going down in Australia when they play Croatia. My God. C is definitely the Group of Death. E comes close though. F should be a lot of fun to watch - Australia actually have a half-decent chance of qualifying, I'd say ![]() ![]() *Books tickets for Angola - Iran* ![]() |

HERE WE GO HERE WE GO HERE WE GOOOOO
HERE WE GO HERE WE GO HERE WE GOOOOO HERE WE GO HERE WE GO HERE WE GOO-O HERE WE GO-O HERE WE GO [/blind optimism] I could have dealt with France's group ![]() But come on, a rare chance to play Brazil, this is the best thing ever for the sport in Australia. And plus, we have the chance to pull a Senegal, and even if we get crushed 5-0 there was never any expectations on us anyway so it's all good ![]() |

That being said, I would have really rathered the yanks to the nips, just so we could shove Bruce Arena's words right up his arse. I saw him on ESPN last night 'clarifying' what he said, ie completely contradicting himself.

The list I posted above IS in game order now. 1 plays 2 and 3 plays 4, then 1 plays 3 and 2 plays 4, then 1 plays 4 and 2 plays 3.

Also, :shudder: at the thought of Australia v Croatia. There are Croatians EVERYWHERE in this country.
I might end up pulling for Croatia in that game just so we don't see a fucking riot. But then again, there's a riot whenever Croatians get together so it really doesn't matter ![]() |

Arena, whose team has achieved a FIFA world ranking of eight due largely to a system widely regarded as flawed, told Sports Illustrated's website: "The last time around [in the World Cup], the easy games were China and Saudi Arabia. This time around you'd probably say Australia and Trinidad & Tobago are the weak ones."
Arena seemed to grudgingly concede Australia and Trinidad & Tobago had some claims to being there, adding: "But Australia has basically all of its players in Europe, and Trinidad have a guy [in Yorke] who was arguably the top striker in soccer." http://www.smh.com.au/news/world-cup...829597323.html |

Honestly, someone handicap USA & Italy's chances for me.
*I used to crap all over soccer for a long time, even though I played when I was a kid. Now after going to see AC Milan play here in Chicago this past summer & checking out the Fox Soccer Channel (along with a bunch of games in the Italian Leagues on an Italian sports station that I pick up on cable), I'm really looking forward to watching the World Cup next year. I've changed my ways. Last edited by Joey Slugs; 12-09-2005 at 09:22 PM. |

Mexico has a pretty easy group
![]() So how do the 2nd round games get determined? Is it 2a-1b and 2b-1a and so on? Just to see who Brazil will beat up on this year. |

yeah, winner of group A plays the runner up of group B and vice versa right down the list.
So Brazil should play the runner up of the US/Czech/Italy group |

Well, I've got the Czechs down to win that group on Goal Difference, which should give them whoever finishes second in Brazil's group, which is gonna be Australia or Japan, and then they'll probably have to play France, who they could beat, and then either England or Holland in the Semis, who they could also beat
Its a possibility, just like any of the other top nations |

I was hoping the U.S would do a another good appearance. Tough group though, even if they barely make it as the 2, they will get trashed by Brazil anyhow.

Yeah, the same way England will contend for the championship, aka making the quarter finals then crashing out with a gutting 2-1 defeat.
