Hmm... interesting that usa is ranked so high, but I suppose it's due to their terrific form lately.

They must see something I don't. Don't get me wrong, but #5? Oh well, I will trust them and like I said, I hope they live up to that ranking, it would be nice.

not to shabby only building more hype for the World Cup. Our Group is no gimmie though. Italy and Czech scare me.

looks like brazil has it on lock, good to see some african teams that deservedly need to be where they are, although i think ivory coast deserves to be in there, and i afree with chucknorris that #5 is a teeny bit too high, when is there trip to germany or has that already taken place, if it has some1 post the scores, IRAN #19 !!!!!!!!!!!! wow that's nuts lol

oh yeah
brazil going for one more world cup

Too bad the seeding makes it impossible for a US vs Brazil Championship.

czech republic at #2, dang sucks for the US.

Yea the US vs Czech game will be rough, and if US advances as second in there division they wind up playing the first place team of the division Brazil is in....

i think the US will lose out to czech on goal difference, i think italy will finish first in the group, strong defense and their offense is performing right now.


oh man did u guys here the bid chelsea made on Samuel Eto'o (i think thats the spelling )

well if u want to find out read my new thread, its supposed to be the highest price offered for a player ever in the league ( i think all over the world )
