2006 FIFA World Cup - The Thread

[Salty25]

I thought I'd start the thread where we discuss whats going on on the field, plus who people think will win, injury rumours, dodgy referee decisions etc etc etc, basically anything that comes to mind.

To get the ball rolling, who do you think will advance from the group stage? Heres my predictions:

Group A:
Winners - Germany
Runners-up - Ecuador

B:
W - England
Ru - Sweden

C:
W - Argentina
Ru - Netherlands

D:
W - Mexico
Ru - Portugal

E:
W - Czech Rep
Ru - Italy

F:
W - Australia
Ru - Brazil

G:
W - France
Ru - Switzerland

H:
W - Ukraine
Ru - Tunisia

A: England, Sweden
B: Germany, Poland
C: Holland, Argies
D: Portugal, Mexico
E: Italy, USA
F: Brazil, Croatia
G: France, South Korea
H: Ukraine, Spain

thus giving IIRC:
England* - Poland
Germany - Sweden*
Holland* - Mexico
Portugal* - Argentina
Italy* - Croatia
Brazil* - USA
France - Spain*
Ukraine* - South Korea

and thus (again IIRC):
England* - Holland
Italy - Spain*
Sweden - Portugal*
Brazil* - Ukraine

and now hugely simplified:
England* - Spain
Portugal - Brazil*

and simpler still:
England* - Brazil

Phew
