Title: Ireland

I reckon Ireland have a better chance than England, but as always the English media has gone WAY overboard, while completely dismissing Ireland. We are without doubt, one of the toughest teams to beat in the world (as the cocky Dutch found out to their dismay!). I think we’ll get to the quarter finals. My tip to win: Italy. They’re a good bet too, at 7/1. I think I’ll put a few Euros on them.

Germany can`t win.

Too many players from Bayer Leverkusen in the Team - that means they can`t win the finals…

*Leverkusen= Chance to win 3 Titles this year= won= 0

I’ll tell you, Japan’s gonna be the big suprise of this World Cup. They maybe won’t make it to the title, but they will kick some serious butt for sure.

Cocky Dutch? That may apply to the players, but not to the rest, everybody says that the players are just a bunch of spoiled guys who lack the spirit to play for their country. Instead of being proud of playing for their country, they’re always whining about bonuses and stuff. They didn’t deserve to qualify, Ireland and Portugal were just better. But it’s really a damn shame, cos they definately have the potential!
My vote goes to Argentina, great players, and they’ve played really well in the qualifying stage and some friendly matches. Forget about Germany, England is always overrated, Brazil hasn’t played too great in the last couple of years, Italy will not be as lucky as they usually are. France is another candidate as well, maybe Spain, but they never perform that well on tournaments.

BUT AT LEAST FEYENOORD (representing Holland!) KICKED THE GERMAN’S ASSES!!

Title: Ireland 1 Nigeria 2

What was that I said about Ireland being one of the toughest teams in the world to beat??? ha ha … nevermind that - we got beat last night, with our strongest XI playing, and in Dublin too! Two defensive mistakes cost us the game. If we do that in the world cup, then we’re fucked. Regards the “cocky Dutch”, I was just talking about the players, not the people!

Unfortunately I don’t think Denmark has the slightest chance of winning even though we have Ebbe Sand from Schalke and Jon Dahl Tomasson from Feyenoord (who by the way scored a goal last night when we beat Cameroun). I think France is going to win again.

I don’t mean to make all Italians angry, but I really can’t see how you can think Italy will win! They have sucked big time in the last 3 years or so in the European cups, and although they performed pretty good in the last big tournaments, they didn’t exactly play the best soccer.

USA ‘94: The luckiest team after the first round, I can remember how lucky they were against Spain

England ‘96: Worst tournament ever, didn’t even make it through the first round

France ‘98: Eliminated before the semi-finals

Euro 2000: Don’t get me started on this one, you know what I mean! The Dutch missed two penalties in half-time, and then they lost (of course…) on penalties!

And in the last couple of years, Juventus got their arses kicked by among others Feyenoord, same goes for Inter, and Parma was eliminated by PSV, not really the best team across Europe.

I’m not saying that Holland is the best, they sucked in the qualification stage and didn’t deserve to qualify, but you gotta be realistic about Italy…

i’m not saying that italy can win because i’m italian. i don’t even really like this team. i’m only saying that we have some of the best forwards (vieri, montella, del piero, inzaghi) and the best defense.

we won’t play good football, i know.

we’re no good in european cups because we have a really hard national league and we only care about champions league qualification for the next year (because it means money)

and for me holland is a really good team, better than germany for instance.

Title: Roy Keane

Okay, we’re fucked. Roy Keane has been kicked out of the Ireland team. We’re as close to being a one-man team as any team can be. Germany & Cameroon must be delighted.
