Portugal
Russia
Saudi Arabia
Senegal (Jamaica)
Slovenia
South Africa
Spain
Sweden
Tunisia

But be quick, this goes by a first come first serve basis.
P.S If we dont have all the teams chosen by a certain date I'll just start without that team being represented by anybody.
> Damn, lost again. Oh well, can still get through...maybe...
Raed my report and you'll see that i think Slovenia will win.
> Does anyone know which two possible teams Cameroon might be facing
> after Germany!!!

> I think we've got a good chance here!!!
Anyone in Group B. That could be Spain.
I think we've got a good chance here!!!
Group A Second round Results
Denmark (MJSwerve) vs Uruguay (Absolut Neo)
FT 2:0
France (Big Slow) vs Senegal [Jamaica] (er-no)
FT 2:2
TABLE
1. Senegal [Jamaica] (er-no) Points-4 Goals For-5 Goals Against-3
2. France (Big Slow) Points-4 Goals For-4 Goals Against-2
3. Denmark (MJSwerve) Points-3 Goals For-2 Goals Against2
4. Uruguay (Absolut Neo) Points-0 Goals For-1 Goals Against-5 ELIMINATED
It’s all over for Absolut Neo has his team Uruguay crashed out after two consectitive defeats. First to Senegal 3-1 and then today to Denmark 2-0. It’s all-tense up the top with all 3 other teams capable of finishing top. Senegal hold the top spot on goal difference after their 2-2 draw with second place France. Denmark move up to third from bottom after eliminating Uruguay from the competition with a 2-0 win. Here are the following fixtures for the next round.
France VS Uruguay
France will need at least a draw to qualify but Uruguay have nothing to lose and will want pride.
My prediction is France to win.
Denmark VS Senegal
Denmark also need a draw to qualify but Senegal are also looking to qualify and need to win this to do so.
My prediction is A draw
Group B Second Round Results
Slovenia (Ortega) vs South Africa (Lord H)
FT 0:1
Spain (Lawless Fever) vs Paraguay (Reaper)
FT 0:2
TABLE
1. South Africa (Lord H) Points-6 Goals For-4 Goals Against-1
2. Paraguay (Reaper) Points-3 Goals For-3 Goals Against-3
3. Spain (Lawless Fever) Points-3 Goals For-2 Goals Against-3
4. Slovenia (Ortega) Points-0 Goals For-1 Goals Against-3
South Africa are through after a comfortable 1-0 win against Slovenia. Slovenia look as good as out but can still pull through if they beat Paraguay 2-0. Spain have a tougher task to get through having to beat South Africa and score 2 more goals than Paraguay by the end of it.
They moved down to third after losing to Paraguay 2-0.
Spain VS South Africa
One of these teams will go out if they lose so both teams will go out to win this.
My prediction is Spain to win, but still go out
Paraguay VS Slovenia
Slovenia have a long shot chance of going through and will play to win.
My prediction is a Slovenia win.
Group C Second Round Results
Costa Rica [Peru] (Silent85) vs Turkey (Pro Evo)
FT 0:2
Brazil (Mr. Chainsaw) vs China (Microchips)
FT 3:1
TABLE
1. Brazil (Mr. Chainsaw) Points-4 Goals For-4 Goals Against-2

3. Costa Rica [Peru] (Silent85) Points-1 Goals For-1 Goals Against-3
4. China (Microchips) Points-1 Goals For-2 Goals Against-4
Both Brazil and Turkey won today which makes them odds on favorites to go through after they both won by 2 clear goals. Brazil won 3-1 against China while Turkey had a tough match against Costa Rica but came through 2-0.
Brazil VS Turkey
Both teams only need a point to qualify so don’t expect much risky play.
My prediction is a draw.
Costa Rica VS China
Both teams need to win heavily while hoping one of Brazil or Turkey lose.
My prediction is a draw.
Current Group D results
Poland (sPiKeCaSt) vs Portugal (Dav1d)
FT 1:1
Korea (Mandatare) vs USA (**Kerrang**)
FT 2:1
TABLE
1. Portugal (Dav1d) Points-4 Goals For-3 Goals Against-1

3. Poland (sPiKeCaSt) Points-2 Goals For-3 Goals Against-3
4. USA (**Kerrang**) Points-0 Goals For-1 Goals Against-4 ELIMINATED
Another one bites the dust after the Korean boys threw the Yanks away like a Dirty cloth.
Their 2-1 win sees them go second behind Portugal who could only manage a 1-1 draw with Poland.
Korea VS Portugal
This is a tough game for both teams as both are on the brink of qualification and a draw may save them both
My prediction is a draw
Poland VS USA
Poland need to win this and hope korea lose if they want to progress to the knock outs.
My prediction is a Poland win
Group E Second Round Results
Germany (HelloHowArtThou) vs Saudi Arabia (Semajal)
FT 1:0
Ireland (Longy) vs Cameroon (Da_linksta)

3. Ireland (Longy) Points-0 Goals For-1 Goals Against-3 ELIMINATED
4. Saudi Arabia (Semajal) Points-0 Goals For-0 Goals Against-3 ELIMINATED
Both Cameroon and Germany are through to the final 16 after both came out with 1-0 wins today. Hard luck to Ireland and Saudi Arabia who came close but now only fight for pride.
Cameroon VS Germany
Both teams have nothing to lose but will want to come top to avoid big teams
My prediction is a Cameroon win
Ireland VS Saudi Arabia
Both are out and both will want to win to avoid coming last.
My prediction is a Ireland win
Group F Second Round Results
England (Tom) vs Nigeria (Aliboy)
FT 2:0
Argentina (Hercules!) vs Sweden (Dringo)
FT 1:0
TABLE
1. England (Tom) Points-4 Goals For-2 Goals Against-0
2. Argentina (Hercules!) Points-4 Goals For-1 Goals Against-0
3. Nigeria (Aliboy) Points-3 Goals For-1 Goals Against-2
4. Sweden (Dringo) Points-0 Goals For-0 Goals Against-1 ELIMINATED
The group every one has looked at. England went top today after a 2-0 win over Nigeria. However the fight for 1st place is very much on after Argentina also won with a 1-0 win against Sweden. Unfortunately this means Sweden are out.
England VS Sweden
England need to win this to reassure themselves in the final 16
My prediction is a England Win
Nigeria VS Argentina
One point won’t do for Nigeria as they need a win to steal Argentina’s place in the last 16
My prediction is a draw
Group G Second Round Results
Mexico (The kebab man) vs Ecuador [Chile] (Natbuc & nh)
FT 2:0
Croatia (Grand Prix) vs Italy (Dead Wonder) Croatia (Grand Prix)
FT 0:4
1. Italy (Dead Wonder) Points-6 Goals For-3 Goals Against-0
2. Croatia (Grand Prix) Points-3 Goals For-2 Goals Against-5
3. Mexico (The kebab man) Points-3 Goals For-3 Goals Against-2
4. Ecuador [Chile] (Natbuc & nh) Points-0 Goals For-0 Goals Against-3
Italy go top after they killed the Croatians 4-0. Croatia play Ecuador next who also need to win after their 2-0 defeat by Mexico. Mexico should be second by goal difference but that is Badgerman’s mistake, not mine.
Italy VS Mexico
Italy are cruising the group and look to make it 3 out of 3. If Mexico loses, they need to keep conceded goals to a minimal.
My prediction is a Italy win
Croatia VS Ecuador
Croatia got killed today so their goal difference will be crucial at the end of this match
My prediction is a Ecuador win ( I hear Natbuc and nh cheering )
Group H Second Round Results
Belgium (Outback Ash) vs Tunisia (SSXPro)
FT 2:1
Japan (Vottanator) vs Russia (Triple_H)
FT 0:1
1. Japan (Vottanator) Points-3 Goals For-2 Goals Against-2
= Tunisia (SSXPro) Points-3 Goals For-2 Goals Against-2
= Belgium (Outback Ash) Points-3 Goals For-3 Goals Against-3
= Russia (Triple_H) Points-3 Goals For-1 Goals Against-1
This group is by sure the closet group in the tournament. With everyone on 4 points and equal goal difference, it comes down to the final game and goal difference especially goals scored will play a crucial part.
Japan VS Tunisia
Both have scored the same amount of goals but Japan have a more attacking team
My prediction is a Japan win
Belgium VS Russia
Belgium have scored the most and conceded the most but I can see Russia piping them to the post.
My prediction is a Russia win
There is my analysis of today’s action. For those who couldn’t be bothered to read all the above, here is a simple roundup.
