Good luck and cheers for taking part!
Would be cool to have top scorer and top assister list
I think it's quite a good draw with most of the groups quite even, I just hope it turns out to be a good tournament.
Denmark (Vamp)
Spain (Triple_H)
Senegal (AgentFrodo)
South Africa (Tom)
A very even group at first glance. The obvious team for qualification would be Spain.
For second place however, it is very hard to pick who will take it. If i had to choose, i would say South Africa could pip it!
Prediction:
Spain
South Africa
Denmark
Senegal
Group B
Ireland (Lindgren)
Italy (Longy)
Tunisia (Lucio)
Poland (Blank)
Another even group and probaly one of the best for equal skilled teams. The obvious team for qualification would be Italy.
However, i think Ireland could top the group with Italy behind in second.
Prediction:
Ireland
Italy
Poland
Tunisia
Group C
England (Mandatare)
Uruguay (El Natbuc)
Russia (Pro Evo)
Sweden (Reynolds)
A very good group in terms of the teams. Didn't i just have to be in it ;) I don't see an obvious team for qualification with all 4 teams a threat to each other.
It is not baism when i say England will top the group. For second place however, i am pushed really hard but i will guess at Uruguay for second place, even if by goal difference.
Prediction:
England
Uruguay
Sweden
Russia
Group D
Saudi Arabia (Figo)
Mexico (KR)
Slovenia (El Juicy)
Brazil (Spikecast)
Quite a mediocre group. Brazil are the obvious team for qualification.
Second place is quite obvious as well with Mexico coming second.
Prediction:
Brazil
Mexico
Slovenia
Saudi Arabia
Group E
Nigeria (Cid Vilante)
USA (lalakersrule)
Ecuador (Aliboy)
France (Sdrawkcab)
This is quite an even group except Ecuador even though they are reigning champions. France look obvious chocie for qualification.
Second place i think Nigeria could push for it, pipping USA to qualification.
Prediction:
France
Nigeria
USA
Ecuador
Group F
Costa Rica (The craziest Col)
Argentina (HelloHowArtThou)
South Korea (FinalFantasyFanatic)
Belgium (DW)
Quite a mediocre group. First place is going to be Argentina, no argument.
Second place will be a battle between Korea and Belgium. Being the previous manager of Korea, i hope it will be them.
Prediction:
Argentina
South Korea
Belgium
Costa Rica
Group G
Croatia (Shadow)
Japan (Elf Ears)
Paraguay (GrandPrix)
Turkey (Unbeliever)
This is a very even group. I think Paraguay may come top of their group. The battle for second place will be tough but Turkey look
the obvious choice for it.
Prediction:
Paraguay
Turkey
Croatia
Japan
Group H
Portugal (Hercules!)
Cameroon (Sfonæ)
Germany (Absolut Neo)
China (Microchips)
The final group and another even one. Everyone may expect a battle between Portugal and Germany for first place but i'm going to upset everyone and say Cameroon will come first.
Second place will be edged by Portugal, maybe even by goal difference.
Prediction:
Cameroon
Portugal
Germany
China
