Indeed. I also thought him a truly useless carthorse earlier in the season- Even bet one of my liverpool mates that he wouldnt score all season! Which kinda backfired- bad news for me, good news for england :)

Ok, what do u wanna discuss besides England's non-existent chances to win the whole bloody thing? :rolleyes:
 
I dunno. I have made it clear who i think are gonna win it. I just though there'd be more interest in this topic i guess...

Maybe it'll pick up when the games start...
 
Priests unite for Togo

Togo has won the World Cup - albeit just the pre-tournament beauty contest. Student Edwige Madze Badakou, 24, beat representatives of the 31 other finalists to be crowned Miss World Cup.

Contestants paraded in swimwear and evening gowns for a jury which included footballers. It is not clear whether their football knowledge was tested. Ms Badakou's victory comes after a Togolese voodoo priest predicted glory for the team, widely seen as rank outsiders, in Germany. Maria Garrido B'aez, 23, of Spain came second, followed by Ecuador's Katty Lopez Saman, 23. Ms Badakou, who was crowned Miss Togo two years ago, won 2,000 euros ($2,557; £1,370) and the use of a convertible car for a year.

On Thursday, Togo's chief voodoo priest predicted success for the national football team, the Sparrowhawks, at the World Cup in Germany. "The ancestral spirits say that Togo will go far at the World Cup," Togbui Assiogbo Gnagblondjro III said.

He said that Togo would definitely beat South Korea and France to get to the next round and he would be able to predict the actual scores two days before the matches.
 
The priest is not alone in looking to the spirits for support. One German company has just launched a voodoo doll to which fans can pin the flag of the country they want to curse. A number of mail-order websites have already sold out of the dolls due to unforeseen demand. ;)

Hell! I also want a doll please, How much, where can I get one!!!! My wife is not keen anymore so a doll could be my saviour, and I can use it for its intended purpose during breaks. Do I get an ANC flag with, will it be free as I would not want to spend a cent on it LOL :D

I see...:p

Well , angelo, stick ur colours to some flag then and tell me who u think's gonna win it? Or at least the top 5 teams that are in with a chance...

I'd go with, in no particular order:

England( just have a feeling they might finally get it right. Peaking at the right time too)

Germany(always strong in tournaments, hosts, despite weak-looking, inexperienced side, never write them off!)

Brazil( well , arent they always favourites)

Holland( strong team, really shouldve won a WC by now!)

Italy( founded in a strong defence, Italian footy may not be the most entertaining but its effective, like chelsea :()

Dark horse: One of the african sides to go far with a totally different brand of football that the other teams are not used to. I'd go with the priests of the earlier post and say Togo :)
 
1 DAY to go - cannot wait untill kick off.You not a Football addict untill you've played CHAMPIONSHIP MANAGER.Thats the true mark of a soccer nut
 
I'd add Argentina to that list, hj2k_x.

Under-dog: One of the African teams - Ivory Coast or Egypt ( :D ) and Portugal.

As I said earlier, Brazil will probably win it (again).

Most over-rated team: England (Their press over-rate them as well as arrogant pricks like Beckham.

Funnily enough i am United through and through. Have been for 13 years. hate the scouse, but when WC time comes i love to see players who have been underperforming for their clubs(specialy ones i do not particulary like- see Liverpool, Chelsea etc..) do really well for the national team :)

Ah an england man through and through? They might have had a chance with a fully fit Rooney, and a competent manager, and less big ego players who would rather play for themeselves than the team. So no chance then ;)

I'll be supporting Australia. Come you aussies, make me rich! ;)

The aussies?? Seriously?! Not cool man.

I reckon as long as we play to our potential and dont lose any more key players to injuries, AND avoid penalties, then we are in with a real chance :)
