I cannot believe I was unaware of this thread until now. _Why_ is this not a sticky?

And nearly 18% voted for the US? LOL, you yanks are dreaming - until all your best athletes stop playing American 'football' and basketball you've got no chance.

Excellent no? I think it was all a hoax by sven to rattle the opposition. Rooney is secretly fine and has been in the hospital getting an adamantium skeleton.

Let's hope his new skeleton gets him through the scan ok today - he seems to be running and kicking fine but whether he can withstand a tackle is my main worry now

Brazil possibly but I don't think Germany have sufficient quality to get there.

Hearing rumors that Nedved limped away from training yesterday. Who knows what that means.

Switzerland has the opposite problem, our players recover too fast But this drama only is a blip on the radar, the choices of our trainer weren't discussed much. Contrary to Germany, where the goalie question divided the soccer nation. (Server is under heavy load but the page is very informative... a real time burner, heheh.)

Montenegro voted to separate from Serbia, should be interesting in their locker room

Actually I've read that the Serbian soccer association gives all player free choice where to play after the World Cup! :thumbsup:

Apparently Ballack may now be playing so that looks a fairly good prediction

 

[GasX]

Germany 2 - 0 CR

I'd love Costa Rica to spring a surprise but think Germany will end up winning by a couple
