ITALY will make the semis at least, get you're money on it! Last 8 will be 6 europeans + argentina and brazil.

Thats very likely. The only 2 teams that may be good enough to make it 5-3 are either Ecuador or Mexico. But still I doubt it.

ghana can easily make the round of 8, as could australia. in fact its quite possible they end up playing one another. moreover after yesterday´s matches, south korea is in a very good position to win their group (if togo withdraws, a 1-1 tie with switzerland is all they need i believe).

Mexico is going to play Argentina/Holland if they make it out of the group (as they should, since they'll be playing Portugal's B team on Wednesday).

The fact that Ghana played a single good match against a strong opponent (that was weakened by a couple of injuries of course) does not makr them a candidate for the top 8. If you have a close look at the Czech game you have to realize that as it developed it was just the perfect situation for them. Theŭ scored in the first 5 minutes against an opponent that lost 2 of their strongest offensive players. Besides this losing Koller obviously weakened the whole team (just compare Rosickys performance against US to the Ghana game) - even more so after they were behind after a couple of minutes.

I would love to see an African team in the quarterfinals too but sadly their most promising team got killed in the horror group.

You are just being ridiculous here. They qualified through the European qualifying. Part of the freaking country is in Europe. Not sure what other evidence you need.

[/ QUOTE ]

Well, Israel is also in the European qualifying groups. Does that make Israel an European country?

No. It's not. And when people talk about European soccer, they are most certainly not talking about Israel, or even Turkey. Too funny.
