Very easy group for Germany...

 

[Ziyad]

June 9th the opener which I think is Germany-Ecuador..

 

[kova9]

nope..its germany - costarica..

 

[panxxx]

It’s interesting group. I think that my country will qualify to the next round, but if they disrespectfully treat they rival, like they do on Korea&Japan WC they even could lost all his matches… :fero:

 

[Adriano@10]

man the easyest grup of all but still i hope that germany has to fight

 

[BlueBacchus]

Going to root for Germany.

Reactions from www.goal.com ...

Germany coach Jurgen Klinsmann: "It could have been worse. We’re happy. We think this group is very do-able."

Ecuador defender Ulises de la Cruz: "It is difficult, but not frightening. We just have to be competitive."

Polish association official Jan Tomaszewski: "Of course I am satisfied, more than that I am extremely happy. I think our chances have risen."

Costa Rica coach Alexandre Guimaraez: "We represent four million Costa Ricans and hope to do as well as possible."

Germany and Poland, easy choice.

 

[brehme1989]

My prediction:
1) Germany
2) Costa Rica
3) Poland
4) Ecuador

One of Ecuador and Costa Rica will advance to the next round. I have this feeling that Poland will choke! Germany will get all points. If they don't, they cannot contend for the title

Germany and Poland, easy choice.

That is also my choice.

Holy shit i cant belive he did not take Kurany with him!!
First he keeps on playing him no matter how crepy he plays and then he does not even take him to the WC ???????

 

[Hammoudi]

Great that Kuranyi isn't called up, he sucks now. Also, I expected the Bremen RB (Odenowyer?) to make it, but he isn't a very quick player.

Also, a bit suprised about David Odonkor, maybe he will be a special card. BTW, does anyone know his origins?

Owomoyela

[Adriano@10]

[Durai]

adriano@10, ballack is now a chelsea player you might as well change he's club.

 

[Alex de Large]

Ghana and Italy all da way

Remember not to disregard Poland, we have a really good starting eleven, playing in decent european clubs. And for example we have several quality goalkeepers so that Dudek has not been chosen in the World Cup squad (which surprised all of us). And I think that such a bizarre goal that have been let in by Kuszczak has no chance of being replied in the tournament . However, seeing Ecuador's and Costa Rica's results and style of play before the World Cup I see them as outsiders. I give more chances to Paraguay who in my opinion are bound to overshadow Sweden.
