Used support Spain cos they've quality players but they will NEVER make a proper team out of themselves. Always bickeringg. Pirennial under-achievers.

I will decide by picking the most oppressed african team. Ha.

Mongolia out?

**superfrank** · 13/10/2005, 3:32 PM

Well there are no Celtic nations left... so Croatia, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Mexico and, if they make it, Sweden.

13-0 on aggregate to the Maldives, I think. You'll be waiting a while before they're in the World Cup!

Sweden have qualified as one of the two best runners-up.

Serbia-Montenegro of course.

Will also look out for Angola (MPLA & Jose Quitongo)

**crc** · 13/10/2005, 6:49 PM

I don't really like big teams, so won't be going for Brazil, Germany, France, et al.
On the other hand, I want to be able to follow a team with a decent chance of progressing a few rounds. Maybe I'll go for the US in light of the fact that I've spent so much time over there recently (and I own a DC United shirt). If I had to go for a European team it would probably be the Netherlands as I have quite a few Dutch friends (and I spreek enn klein beitje Nederlands).

Alternative options are Japan, or maybe Ghana (they're probably alot of the same guys Kerr's U-20 team beat to 3rd place out in Malaysia).

And, of course, whoever England are playing!

I think the Dutch can finally do it this time(once they can keep from killing each other)

Who won in Sweden 58 then? Always thought it was Brazil.

Right. Still one of my favourite teams (Norway is my fav, but Mongolia makes my global top-10) because of my fascination for the country. I hope to spend some months in Mongolia one of the coming years, it all seems such an amazing country and culture to discover...

**Kerry Blue** · 16/10/2005, 2:41 PM

U.S.A. and Brazil. Would also like to see Togo do well.

**Ash** · 17/10/2005, 12:27 PM

Gotta be Toga ... and whoever I get in the team draw in work!

Dou you mean Togo or Tonga or the Roman garment??

**JoeSemi** · 19/10/2005, 12:48 PM

I'll be cheering on the Croats as I've a liking for them going back to the magical team of Suker, Boban and Co.

Brazil will also get my backing as that's who the yoyos are gone on, and also because top class players deserve the trophies that their talent merits.

**Dillo** · 19/10/2005, 1:37 PM

I'll be keeping a tight eye on Henri Michel's Ivory Coast in Germany next Summer. With former Everton legend Ibrahima Bakayoko (who could ever forget that 30 yard bullet he scored against Southampton in Goodison!) and Chelsea frontman Didier Drogba they could well cause an upset or two along the way. As it happens, they'll represent the nearest thing to tricolour in next year's finals...

**Littlest Hobo** · 26/10/2005, 8:33 PM

Fcuk the lot of em, especially England. I'm not gonna be too bothered by it all. Lookin forward to the next unity cup thing instead

**RedX** · 27/10/2005, 12:18 AM

If Poland do well it will be strange to see them celebrating on our streets considering how many Poles live in Ireland..so i hope they do well...

Also i am going to put money on England to win it..i know we slag them about this but i think if some team like Argentina maybe could knock out Brazil in a knock-out stage England could very easily win it..if England have to play Brazil they will probably lose though..

**joeraki** · 29/10/2005, 9:09 PM

I'll be supporting whoever I decide to stick my �100 on

**osarusan** · 30/10/2005, 1:15 AM

Japan, seeing as I'm living here, although in Zico they have a coach of such ineptitude that Troussier, (who in my opinion was no hero either) looks like a genius. They wont do well in the World Cup, but I'll be cheering for them.

**Thunderblaster** · 30/10/2005, 12:24 PM

I will be backing Zamunda!!

Nah, seriously, I haven't made up my mind. Cannot see beyond Brazil or Argentina winning the trophy. As for the African teams, Tunisia are under pressure to get out of the group stages, I can see the Ivory Coast and Ghana upsetting somebody. I do not think that Angola or Togo has the depth to spring a surprise, but I may be wrong. Winners of Trinidad and Tobago and Bahrain to be the whipping boys of the World Cup. I expect the Asian sides to settle back to their usual mediocrity. Surprise package of the World Cup for me could be the Ukraine.

**CollegeTillIDie** · 31/10/2005, 9:15 AM

I will be supporting Serbia/Montenegro along with Partizan. I have been a fan of Yugos since the 1974 World Cup.
And if and when they go out before the end I will be hopefully cheering for one of the following( assuming they are still there) Italy(always liked them) or Czech Republic( my other half is Czech).
The romantic in me would like to see Trinidad and Tobago and our backwards flag friends the Elephants do well.
