first off to anyone outside of north america that wants to snicker at an american who loves and understands football, i give you a kindly fuck off.
ok. we've got that out of the way, so here goes. pick the teams that will advance beyond the round robin.
group A:
winner: france
2nd: mexico
south africa are a fucking speed bump and nothing more. uruguay could cause some problems but i think both france and mexico will handle that shit.
group B:
winner: argentina
2nd: greece
i went with a bit of an undercurrent here by taking greece. a lot of folks are high on nigeria but they always seem to fall short in the big one.
group C:
winner: england
2nd: USA
if england doesn't walk the dog in this group they need to hang their heads in fucking shame and retire.
group D:
winner: germany
2nd: australia
germany is an easy choice in this group. serbia might make some noise but australian football has been getting better and better over the last few years.
group E:
winner: netherlands
2nd: denmark
beyond holland this group is interesting. japan and cameroon have shown flashes in previous tournaments but when all is said and done, i think denmark will be there in the end. the danes have been a decent tourney team in the past and i think that will hold true in this world cup.
group F:
winner: italy
2nd: paraguay
fuck me did italy get an easy draw or what? there is not a single team in this that can even remotely play with them. i went with my heart over my head in this group by picking paraguay (santa cruz plays for paraguay and he is one of my dudes, even though he plays for manchester city.)
group G:
winner: brazil
2nd: ivory coast
another one where i am going with the underdog. ivory coast has some DAMN good football players, something i don't think a lot of folks realize. the list of names on this team should worry anyone: drogba, kalou, kone, gervinho, keita, eboue - these mofos can play some fooking football.
group H:
winner: spain
2nd: chile
i don't have a lot to say about this group. the teams just don't interest me that much.
