Portugal is a good team..... but come on everyone knows that Brazil is gonna go all the way...... they got 6 striker...how u gonna stop that???
Apparently you dont watch enough soccer oR Never played the game. All of a teams strikers are not utilized on the field at one time. Usually its 2-3 (at a time)
You need a midfield and a defense as well. Besides, it takes more than a certain amount of strikers to win a game. You cannot just play offensively. You must defend as well
Brasil is a awesome team, no doubt. And every year they acquire great new talent. Im not saying Port is going to win, but we should make it to the semi-finals at least. One thing is for sure, i really belive this WC the winning country will be one of those "Cinderella Teams" if you will. That is, a team that no one expected and has never won a WC match in the past.

Yeah, skipped work and saw the game. The ref really f'ed the game up. 1st the sending off, he blew his whislte way too early, and the dubious free kick that gave Arsenal the goal. And what about giving Barcelona a yellow card once in a while. Ronaldhino didn't really play that well yesterday but Barcelona are so strong they don't need his output every time.
As far as Cinderella teams this year I highly doubt it. Four teams clearly are playing at a level by themselves - Brazil, Argentina, Holland, and Czech Republic. I really see one of those teams winning it. Let's hope England crashes out very early.
I am just sick of that no talent a$$ hat Beckham. Pathetic. Don't get me wrong - I'd shag him senseless, but as a player he is highly over-rated, especially his work ethic.
