Brazil and Ivory Coast. IC will be the best African team at the tournament.

Brazil & Portugal...probably the 2 of the most entertaining teams in the tournament when it comes to style of play(with Argentina).

 

[Mulli]

We should do a drawing or something, where people get random teams (one from a winner pool, one from an underdog pool).. Might be fun.

 

[Stout]

Portugal is used to choking, and Cote de Ivoire (sp?) is a cracking team. Brazil and CdI all the way.

 

[Mulli]

Hey, I think I am going to adopt Cote D' Rhone as my....oops Ivore..second team after Azzurri.

Any one know where to get decent tshirts on the internets?

I'm definitely backing Ivory Coast over Portugal to follow Brazil. That being said it would make my day if both Portugal and Ivory Coast progressed and Brazil didn't. But that ought to be highly unlikely.

That would be nuts. You don't like Brazil? I thought everyone did.

Does anyone know what times these games will be?

Will I have to avoid ASFN and the internets to avoid seeing the scores during the day?

 

[CaptTurbo]

Brazil and the team I love to hate the whinners of Portugal.

 

[Shzm13]

I see Brazil moving on, but by no means do i like them. They always win :/

BRAZIL, COTE D'IVORE MOVE ON

btw, Cote D'Ivore sounds a hell of a lot smoother than Ivory Coast, would you not agree?

If you're French....

Portugal and Ivory Coast, Brazil is overrated especially right now.

LOL

Portugal barely got into the draw and you're saying BRAZIL is overrated? Pot, meet kettle.

 

[Renz]

Portugal always underachieves at the big tournaments.

 

[slinslin]

Depends on how you look at underachieving they usually lose to a very good team eventually.

They lost to Germany in the quarter finals at the last European Cup. They lost to Germany in the 2006 game for the third place in the World Cup.

They have a couple world class players. Brazil will be a disappointment like 2006. Their team doesn't have "it". Offensively they look poor for Brazil's standards. Kaka has been crap for a while.

So Portugal lose to good teams (Germnay nemed twice - what a surprise) but Brazil don't?
They lost to France last time in the 1/4 finals.
Won in 2002
Lost in Final of 1998
Won in 1994

In fact the last time Brazil failed to make it past the first round was 1966.

It's petty I know, but I just thought i'd call attention to the god of all football knowledge and his opinions on this poor Brazil team.

Didn't even have them coming out of the group.
