There are many who doesn't understand why people follow football or sports so madly. Have you thought about it?. See we enjoy films because it has a story that interests us. Football matches ..well most of them are also stories.

we did expect brazil not to play well against croats after all that hype before the start didn't we?
Trinidad and Australia who got in at the very last did well as against big teams as expected Argentina had young players so we didn't expect them to perform.and when not expected countires with tradition performs ?
we expected to raul to score a cruciol goal after that bad phase in his life didn't we?


So here are my predictions
argentina is much hyped so they are going to get knoked out in third round
italy,check or sweden are underated after the first rounds
check have got some injury problems
italy's strike force has still not established
so sweden or italy will be there in last four
germany after one more will the bookmakers favourite so they are going to loose in semies or before

so its spain,holland or england

and of these three i think its england who suffered the most

they were tipped as favourites not because of any hype that had the players

their plan got hamphered by roonie injury. its not their fault
they had USA hiccup last time so they played safe with paraguy. you cannot fully curse them for that
and poor erikkson he is doing whatever he can thru all these misshaps

england has the talance and with divine blessing everything will come good at the right times
