"...neither the stupid jokes nor the easy surface emotions were the truth of Cuthbert Allgood."
Mexico landed in one of the more difficult groups. South Africa isn't a particularly difficult team, but they are the hosting nation, and it's always tough going up against the home team, no matter how limited their players may be. Even though France qualified as a wild card, they can never be ruled out because they have excellent players that play for some of the most prestigious clubs in Europe. Uruguay is a South American heavyweight, but we gave them a pretty good thrashing in the Copa America last year, and we have a pretty good record against them in the last few years, so I'm not too worried about them.
I'm worried about us though, since France didn't actually win its match against Ireland.
ENGLAND!!! as for the whole henry hand ball thing... even the most loyal fan has to admit france is the better side, and though i share little love with them, france should be at the world cup.
I'm a gooner BTW. henry can walk on water.

England should be easy winners in their group and im really glad that were not in the group of death like Brazil are!
Oh and Bango the Emerites really is the best ground i've ever been to, better than Wemberly.
I'm always pulling for Italy and England.
Okay... any idea of broadcast schedule/channels?
I had the hardest time in the last Cup finding the games. I did track a lot of stuff online, but that's not the same as watching.

I'm not sure you can find TF1 online but they show all football games here and they may even broadcast them in English if there's a webTV.Originally Posted by turtlex
They should be there? I disagree, Ireland played some of our best football in those games against France and if we hadn't been cheated out of it I think we would have been a strong team next summer.
Mee tooI'm so sad Finland couldn't make it.
Well, I'll cheer for.. Denmark.
I'll cheer for Netherlands... again.

... fixed that there for ya FP!
In all seriousness, it's a real sickener for us that we aren't going. But that's football, and that's life.
I have a feeling England could be a good bet this time. Brazil as always... and I wouldn't be surprised if Argentina rise from their barely-scraped-qualification to be a real power too. Italy are always a bet too, but i think they're weaker at the back now than we always expect from an Italian side.
I'm in it for Germany. I always like to see Brazil, Japan, Mexico and the US do good as well.

My heart says England, my head says Spain.

If that's a serious question JB, I'll be sorely disappointed in you
For me, it looks like Spain is the team to beat at the WC.
