Worst World Cup Group ever.

[Real ale Madrid]

Have to go with Mexico and Portugal here. Iran are no good I'm afraid and i know little about the Angolans. Afriacan sides are always hard to beat though so they will get every respect from the other two.

[Stuttgart88]

Mexico & Portugal for me, but Iran's warm up games have seen some decent results. Potential for a surprise here, especially given Portugal's tendency to implode.

[Kerry Blue]

Mexico and Portugal will be much too strong for the others in this group with the Mexicans topping the group.

[DmanDmythDledge]

It's close between Mexico and Portugal for top spot. Pauleta or Borgetti could be a good outside bet for top scorer.

couple of points

niether Pauletta or Borghetti will trouble the top scorer charts

2/ Iran are my favs to win this group- 16/1


Portugal have difficulty scoring in major championships. Pauletta was brutal in the euros. Mexico qualified via an easy confederation - borghetti is a bit part player in england(?) hardly top class. These two teams are way over rated and Mexico do NOT travel well to europe.

Iran have lashed in goals v euro opposition in friendlies and have a large Iranian population in Germany. They were better than us in the play offs for the last world cup - the odds on them to beat angola will plummet if they put up a show v some ppls favs Mexico.

Ive a tenner on them to win the group and im taking that big price on them to beat the angolans as well

[superfrank]

Imo, angola were really impressive last night. After the first few minutes it looked like Portugal would tear them apart but they gradually got into the game and created a few chances and they're noy afraid to have a go from distance.

Portugal did play well but Simao was really poor, imo.

Who do people think will get through out of Angola or Mexico now ??
