Are there anyone here that are looking forward to see it ?
I do... even if I won't be able to see the weekday matches thanks to work (it will be morning or really early morning for me).
So almost the qualified are known for the competition who will begin on the 9 june in Germany.
Qualified teams: Germany, Argentina, Japan, Iran, South Korea, Saudi Arabia, Ukraine, USA, Brazil, Mexico, Angola, Togo, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Holland, Poland, England, Croatia, Italy, Tunisia, Portugal, Ecuador, Paraguay, Costa Rica, France, Sweden, Serbia and Montenegro.
There are still five other places. Not really likely to see Australia but it will be so nice to have a Pacific country... even if it will probably compete as an asian team next time. (Geography is a little different when it comes to football).
I didn't have to type all the teams thanks to this page : http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/internationals/4208308.stm
Most of the people see Brazil as the usual winner. Other strong contenders : Argentina, Holland and err... Portugal ?
I will support Portugal (but only if a certain player will play), England and Holland. Maybe a little Japan and South Korea, well it was really nice to see how South Korea did well last World Cup.
You can talk here about anything related to World Cup 2006.
