WC G06 Countdown: 5 Days
Sunday, June 04, 2006
Woohoo! Its only five days to the World Cup! I like doing all this soccer
thing. Fun, I guess...So those countries looking good? Just heard Trinidad & Tobago got a beating from fellow WC debutants Czech Republic...Nedved must have been inspirational in that win. Now the Mexicans and Iranians start off Group D. Iranian could pull a shock...
~Countries in Group D~Let's check out Group D:
Iran, the dark horses of Group D, could pull off a shock if they beat Mexico in their first game. A loss against Portugal might not be too bad, a draw would be superb. And if they can win, and should do, against minnows Angola...they might just go through.
Mexico are the favourites for second, behind Portugal. They have a tough tie against Iran in their first game and should struggle for a win. Angola would prove easier opponents and maximum points should be added. The match against Portugal could prove who tops the group.
Portugal are strong favourites for the first spot. They should finish off Angola in style. They then have tougher tie against Iran, but should pull of a victory. Mexico are much tougher opponents and another win or a minimum draw should be expected of the Europeans.
Angola have little chance of qualifying. Angola should probably lose against Portugal. They then have to recover and win against Iran. Their last game against the Mexican could prove the decisive factor and an unlikely win could see them through.
5 Days Left To Go...
