FIFA World Cup Germany 2006 - Group Draw

[Hammoudi]

I don't know what did Spain ever do to have such an easy draw? Too bad for teams like Netherland, Serbia and Ivory Coast who deserved a better draw.

WC Draw: Zico Attacks FIFA
12/9/2005 9:15:00 PM
Zico, Japan’s Brazilian Coach and legendary striker, has let rip with a series of complaints about the functioning of football’s ‘high church’: FIFA. Apart from battering Blatter, Zico zapped the 2006 World Cup Organisation.


"It’s always the same. They always help the big-name nations. It’s all carefully planned so that it’s always the usual suspects who get to the final. It’s nothing more than a deliberate set-up. All this seeding and ranking stuff is engineered beforehand.”

“Think about it – we’re going into the draw already KNOWING that Brazil and Germany can only mathematically meet in the final. That takes a lot of the draw’s legitimacy away for a start. Brazil may well be World Cup holders, but they played the same WCQ scheme that Japan did, so why are they favoured in Group F?”

Zico also feared that referees would naturally sway to favour the big boys. “That already happened to us here [in Germany] during the Confederations Cup. We should be afraid of biased refereeing because, for example, if we fall in Germany’s group we’ve got a big handicap because the host nation always goes through”.

these 2 groups are 2 hardest
...it's breathtaking

brasil croatia australia and japan

holland serbia ivory coast and argentina

damn!!!! and guess what, I support ivory coast and croatia...I a so lucky.
now I must decide whic games should I olan to go and see live

Are you serious? You find Brazil Croatia Australia and Japan harder then Italy,Ghana,USA, Czech Republic?? Its pretty obvious Brazil will win that group and they're will be good competition for 2nd. I think Italy will easily win their group but the Czech Republic and USA(I don't agree) are considered very good teams so that is 3 top teams in one group.

Argentina's & Holland's group C is by far the hardest. Apart from that Italy's group is a also tough, Czech, Ghana & USA.

Damn I wish England had gotten USA instead of paraguay, lets hope that Paraguay and Sweden manage to kick England out, and for once ibrahimoshit does something useful.

Damn tough luck for the Saudi's, Spain & Ukraine, I dont see them going through anywhere, not that they actually deserve to go somewhere


And about Zico, maybe he should have said all that crap, when he was playing for Brazil.

 

[shahz_nerazzurri]

Oh and I forgot to add, I saw the draw live on BBC, and they were all about England vs Brazil final :dielaugh: :dielaugh: !! , infact they even gave odds to England about being second most favourite team to win the WC :finger:.

Good news for us, Adriano is leading the odds for being the highest scorer in the WC, above Ronaldo & Henry

 

[Cro Nerazzurro]

yes I think brazil group is harder then italy

croatia will have 5 points after 3 games

Oh Kosova I'm terribly sorry... We got it here with a few minutes delay i think
You da man :star:

Haha, Its all good mate

Hey you cheated I found out that the broadcast in Cyprus was indeed live, and now I see that you have edited your post a couple of times :fero:

I win I win

P.S: England-Sweden games will probably be as frequent as Czech-Holland used to be until the Euro 2004

 

[Deepak]

I will be supporting Argentina and Holland for Group C and Brazil and Japan for F..
