Got my USA flag ready to wear

:tiphat: Holy s*** thanks man!!! Amazing what google can do. And now I feel like an idiot.

IM PUMPED!:happydance:

Got a strong argument against why this wont happen...but I'll refrain from that for right now.

I bet you it's a good argument too..as long as you dont say Germany's gonna win!

haha I actually have Germany winning this year in my picks. This is subject to change depending on how things go when the final roster is selected....as of now they are a strong squad. Their goalkeeper issue now is a worry for me since Adler is injured.

I just think Argentina lacks the experience to win, and expecially seeing how Messi plays like crap in the international games they dont really stand much of a chance. And as for Spain....they ALWAYS choke. With a squad as strong as theirs it shouldnt happen. I just dont trust Spain at all as much as I would like to.

Hmmmmm...Germany's Squad is strong indeed. But there is something about their midfield that just doesnt do it for me. Sure you have Ballack and Schweinsteiger but it still doesnt seem as together as it should be.

Something about Argentina just screams final to me! idk why haha
You're right about the inexperience on that team. But they will have one of the most, if not the most talented squads taken to South Africa. And I guess I'm relying on that talent to push them through..

As for the Spaniards, we all know about how in the past they have choked time after time in the grand stage. But this time it's a little different. For one they have arguably the best squad in Spain's international history. A great balance of everything you need to win the cup on that squad. Second thing is they finally broke the curse of never winning any silverware at Euro 2008. Now you can never say they have never won anything. And finally yes they did choke in last years confeds cup to the United States, but do you really think this spanish team is going to let that happen again??? Iniesta was out that whole tournament and Xavi just isn't Xavi without him....I say if Torres is at 100% you will not be able stop David Villa.

No matter how strong the squad is, unless they have a proper final touch they won't go anywhere














Which is why Brazil is snatching its sixth this summer! :D

Enlighten me on this proper final touch

Italy all the way!!!

Scoring goals

Only team I ever follow:

i really hope they make it this year... it has been a while since 1986... but knowing how the fubol gods work... They again end up in a hard bracket... while the Brazilians walk through playing worthless teams.

If brazil wins another one I quit watching the sport.

Argentina is in a rather favorable group this world cup. They should come out on top of their group with opponents like Nigeria, South Korea, and Greece. Although one of those teams might be a surpise Argentina should cruise to the knockout stages.

Brazil however isn't that lucky, they drew the group of death along with Portugal, Ivory Coast, and North Korea...it should be a lot harder for brazil progress. You never know, they might not pass the group stage.

Ill give you Portugal...

North korea will not be a threat... and the ivory Coast while an incredible team is no where near brazil or portugals level...

I'd still put Brazil to progress, along with Portugal. Ivory Coast has a shot, but I'm not exactly confident in that team to get past Brazil. And NK is that group's bitch lol

With that said:
