Brazil victory over England wasnt on penalties, the final score was 2-1, even with Brazil having one less player since 10min 2nd half. In fact, Brazil is the only country that won the Cup winning all games, and twice: 1970 and 2002. And we are the only country that won a Cup out of its continent... and twice: 1958 and 2002.

And, I believe you all can imagine what team I will support... a tip: won 5 cups already. And the country I think will win... difficult question... hmm... Brazil. But seriously, I am a bit worried about play against Argentina, Germany or Netherlands...

Anyway, lets wait and see :mrgreen:

The way England came back against Argentina if any team goes 2-1 up and there is only 10 minutes left they should be very very afraid!

Come on England!

England

Line-up:

Robinson

Terry
Carragher
Neville
Ferdinand (?) he's been a little crap lately.

Gerrard
Lampard
Beckham
Cole

Owen
Walcott

Rooney= Most likely injured
If Owen is out too stick Cole up front and have Carrick move in to midfield.

That's who I'd go with, maybe put Ashley Cole in place of Ferdinand, and have Carrick instead of Beckham or Cole J.

Brazil victory over England wasnt on penalties

I know it wasn't - but England have this knack of losing penalty shoot outs, and i think this year will be no different - and looking at the way the groups work out, we will be beaten by Holland or Argentina in the QF's

Those stupid asian ref let Brazil to victorie agains Belgium, he gave 2 goals away on off-side when it was not, once even clear to see.
Probably because he wanted Brazil further in the cup then Belgium, he probably thought that would be nice for his countrie, he was Japanois

I'll be pulling for the USA and Germany. I had hoped to be there, but I didn't acquire any tickets.

I'm not sure yet who I think will win. I've looked at the way things can work out in the group phase and then the knockout and there are too many games that are too close to call at this point.

A little pigeon flew in and told me. I think all the italien flags that appeared after they won kinda told more than anything.
