predict your shock world cup team here

[chooch]

Ukraine look promising. Piss easy group to build that vital momentum.
Some more randomness:
Italy to not score.

Well, this is going well

USA probably won't get out their group they're odds on favourites to lose in both of their first two matches, but I think some people may be suprised with how far they've come on.

So far right, but I think people have been suprised how bad they were.

Again I don't expect Saudi Arabia to qualify from their group, but people who think that their exceptionally poor perfomance at the last World Cup was par for the course may be suprised - in qualifying they were stronger than Korea who were semi-finalists in the same World Cup. Korea too are another Asian nation that's looked strong recently.

Looking correct so far

Out of the African teams Ivory Coast is easily the best by a long way, but Ghana has a lot of talented players and if they can get it together (which they ahven't been able to do in the past), they could spring the odd suprise.

I confess, I'm Russell Grant!

it's all about Mexico

Thanks Dub.

remember we are sub17 world champions.

we beat Brasil last summer in the Gold Cup.

we outplayed Argentina (and lost narrowly) in the same competition.

Yeah, the Mexicans have no real strike force, but did you see the way we counter attacked?

Not bad at all.

¡vamos a gañar!

...and we got aztec gods in a victory v on the shirt!

My bet is Ecuador...Beat Brazil and Argentina in the qualifers too. Watch this space.
