World Cup Winners

[Phil Neville Superstar]

Who do you think will eventually win it? I've filled out a wall chart will my predictions and I reckon it will be as follows (beginning with the Quarters):

Quarter Finals -

France v England
Argentina v Germany
Holland v Brazil
Italy v Spain

Semi Finals -

England v Holland
Argentina v Spain

3rd Place Play Off -

Holland v Argentina

Final -

England v Spain

So Spain will win it.

Argentina - i think they are looking strong in every area this year.

I want a wall chart as well.

Argentina's forward line and midfield is fantastic, I think the defence and goalkeeper let them down badly though.

And I'm sure there will be plenty in the papers next week

Argentina. People think that with Maradonna in charge they have no chance. With those players, i could manage them to the final.

 

[Dutch Toffee]

I'm going with the Dutch, Think we have a team that can match anyone.

Who would your strongest XI be Dutch Toffee?

----------------------Stekelenburg--------------------------

van der Wiel---------------------------------van Bronckhorst

-------------van Bommel-------DeJong----------------------
----------------------Sneijder------------------------------
Robben--------------------------------------Van der Vaart (Eljerio Elia if fully fit)
----------------------van Persie----------------------------

Edit: Can't Leighton Baines get the Dutch Nationality? LB definately the weakest link in that team.

Can't really comment on the defence (except Johnny H of course!) and goalkeeper because I haven't really saw them play much lately, but the midfield is great as well as RVP

Well Stekelenburg definately not in the van der Sar bracket. Van der Wiel is a top prospect and Matthijsen, well let's just say there is a reason why we always play an attacking style.

Now about to play Ghana. Kuyt and Afellay playing instead of Robben and van der Vaart. Afellay also a top prospect.

I''m surprised you haven't included Dennis Bergkamp, class act him

Yes, it's a shame he doesn't play anymore. Would definately be in the team. Best Dutch player of my lifetime (excluding Johan Cruijff. as I was to young to really remember him).

One of my favourite ever players. Would probably still do a better job than Kuyt and Babel. Him and Henry were the best strike partnership the Premiership has ever seen

I know it's a delicate subject on here, but I quite like Dirk Kuyt for our National Team. Always delivers, totally different system to the RS's one, mind you.

 

[bluebloodinmyveins]

van Bronckhorst really he's not dead?

Can't answer that. Let's just say he's on the field right now.
