well, i'm hoping for holland to get through group c instead. and if you had watched how the japanese trashed the germans, you wouldn't have put up australia.

i'll be looking forward to nedved & co trashing the americans, and an iranian stunner this year. eeks!

You should really update your World Cup predictions! Things have changed drastically after teams played just one game!

I don't think England has a chance advancing past the round of 16. Have you seen them play? The Czech would butcher the English if they met. Group B simply looks awful.

As for picking Ukraine. I don't think so. Tunisia and Saudi looked way better than Ukraine who got killed.

Brazil, France, Portugal, and ITaly got lucky in their first games. They could've been beaten.
