I was hoping France would miss, for karma's sake after the Henry handball last time (I still wear an Ireland track jacket every time France plays, and I'm not even an Ireland fan). Oh well, clearly the better side won, can't just fluke into 3-0.

USA will obviously win world cup 

USA will obviously make it to either the round of 16 or the round of 8 before losing horribly to a country we really can't compete with.

No to a country that has no business being their. If I remember correctly USA plays up to competition greater and down to competition lesser than them.

Last time they lost to Ghana who were a penalty miss away from the semi-final (granted the draw and results guaranteed a semi-final place for one of South Korea, Ghana, USA, and Uruguay). So either there's a lot of competition that USA can't compete with (like 20 teams)... actually that sounds about right.

Favored to lose to, but could feasibly pull a result:

Ghana

Can beat the other teams.

USA will win because we have a goalie who makes saves on the field.

USA will win because we're bound to have an Algeria or a South Korea in our group. USA will win that match.

Guess what, even a great goalie can't stop the trouble headed towards him when Spain/Germany/Netherlands/Belgium/Argentina/Uruguay and others start shooting.

He's attempting to make a joke. He bolded "goalie" and "field" because they're not the "proper" terms keeper and pitch. It's funnier at home because there's more of a story that goes with it.

Spangle how is group B the strongest? Netherlands and Spain battle it out for ½ and the other two teams die off. Australia will be the worst in the tourney and Chile are a one-man show.

 

Also Victor, Bosnia could go far but unfortunately Argentina and Nigeria are there. Nigeria is no slouch.

Don't knock Chile. They're the 12th ranked team and played against Spain last time and IIRC, gave them a pretty good run. Ultimately, I think Spain/Netherlands/Chile is stronger than Germany/Ghana/Portugal/USA. But, I could see it the other way around as well.
