Italy USA Czech Republic Ghana
Another of the potential interesting groups if Ghana or the USA spring a surprise.

usa are very over rated, a decent team but they play crap every month and have a false ranking in the world, if they played european teams regualary they wouldnt be top 20 in the world
czech n italy to go thru

I'm an American and think the Americans don't really have a chance, but I'm still pulling for them!
Of course, they finished dead last in '98…

Italy and Czech Rep here, one of the most interesting groups but I feel these 2 will be too strong

I think Ghana or the USA are perfectly capable of springing a surprise. Italy could possibly go out in the First Round, though it's unlikely.

Czech and Italy are two of the five to seven sides in with a chance of winning the tournament! Either of them will give Brazil a test in the 2nd round... sadly I'll actually be *IN* an exam when Czech and Italy battle it out for first place... I don't see either of the other two qualifying, but they could get a point somewhere other than USA-Ghana...

world fifa rankings DO take into account that europe is generally better (hence most teams in the top ranking are in Europe). I've yet to have an english say, ya, the US deserves to be ranked higher than the US.
anyways... italy and US to go through...

Think Italy will win the group but if they came second and Brazil won theirs what a second round match that would be.

MEH at the USA! I saw last night that they've got 30 vehicles full of armed guards protecting them. It p*sses me off that the rest of the world brings fun and entertainment, and they bring machine guns! It tells me a lot about who's responsible for the mess this world is in! I hope they get thrashed in every game and p*ss off back to their country as soon as possible!

Looking forward to the match tonight, should be a close game and it will be interesting to see how well Bobby Convey plays Is Corey Gibbs fit for this one or was he ruled out for the whole tournament? If hes out Convey will play left back, which isnt his best position. Oh btw in case youre not aware Convey plays for us *points at avatar*

But not a surprise. They have a p*ss-poor record in Europe.
