Countdown

http://mycountdown.org/Sports/FIFA_World_Cup/

[Novo]

Let me be the first one to say, The Winners will be France and Putin's Russia will also be strong

[Shaun]

aside from whoever I get in the sweepstake, I'll arbitrarily support Switzerland

[Brother Leon]

Ronaldo or Germany will win. Go Europe.

[King Gizzard]

England, Japan and whoever I get in the sweepstake

[Calderyon]

Brazil v.s Germany/Spain in the final. Can´t see past that at the moment.

Typical other contenders: Netherlands, Italy, Argentina and Portugal. Maybe France. Even England if all goes well.

Potential Surprisers: Ghana, Japan, Ivory Coast, South Korea, Uruguay, USA, Iran and Russia.

No chance in hell: Bosnia, Costa Rica, Switzerland, Honduras and Australia

IMO.

But, of course it´s very, very early to say, before the draw and rosters are announced.


---------

Will be supporting Netherlands, Germany, Japan, South Korea, Australia, Colombia, Uruguay, Croatia and Mexico at least. And of course my very own sweep.

[Drew.]

+ My sweepstake team.

[Jemal]

Nigeria Portugal and abit of england (if the media dont piss me off too much before hand) + sweepstake.

[Jemal]

Belgium will shock people tho

[BBfanUSA]

DId I say Belgium as a Dark Horse in the other thread? If I didn't I need to be slapped. Like Now.

*Gets Slapped by a Corgie*

[Kyle]

I will keep a curious eye on Japan, they've continued to impress me since they hosted the World Cup with Korea.

I think by the time the World Cup comes around Belgium will be tipped by many pundits to do well and will lose their dark horse status.

[Brother Leon]

England
Nigeria
Holland


Nothing else matters although CR winning would be nice too.

[Chuck]

Uruguay will win it and Belgium will be disappointing.

[Black Dagger]

Argentina
Ivory Coast
Sweepstake

[MTVN]

I hate all of these countries

Japan

[King Gizzard]

It's not exactly being controversial to be saying Belgium have a good chance of winning it, but I personally think they won't live up to the pressure, and generally a European team doesn't have a hope in hell

I don't see why Portugal and especially Spain can't do well in the conditions. Germany are robots too who can also do well.

[Novo]

Since 1954 - Czechoslovakia reached the final in Chile, Germany and Italy reached the final in Mexico, Holland reached the final in Argentina and they have all been beaten by South American teams, bad times.

[Brother Leon]

All I want is Portugal V Argentina in the knockout stages. Would be so epic.
