I don't know how big the influence of the home advantage is for Germany.

Normally our team has no chance in hell. Our team is much too young and unexperienced to defeat other big soccer countries.

Since 2000 we haven't won a match against any of the bigger nations. We only got to the 2002 World Cup Final because we played against USA and South Corea in 1/4 and 1/2 finals.

Our defense is really really bad. Some of our national team defenders like Robert Huth didn't even play in the starting 11 for their league team. But the problem is, that we don't have any good defenders. In the Bundesliga most teams use foreign players as defenders.


So unless we have great luck and play against weaker countries in the tournament, we won't get far.


Normally I would say that Brazil will win the title again, but because no team from South America has ever won a world cup when the tournament was held in europe, I'd rather bet on a european country...

I want England to win but i think that the final will be Germany - Croatia.


CROATIA?!

k, they beat Argentina, but to reach the World Cup final they'd need as much luck as Greece had this last Euro

Ukraine will be dangerous. Probably most underestimated team in the WC, remember the Croats in 94 with Suker??? Looks the same with Scheva.

man, no offence or anything, but those rankings are whacked. With their B team, England defeated the USA less than a year ago 2-1 in Chicago and have never been placed above the USA since the last Euro. England just beat Argentina and Uruguay, won their WC qualifying group, etc etc and they're still NINTH? Who does the USA ever play? Mexico and Canada? I mean come on. They're a good team, but not in the top 5 class of the world.

FIFA is fucked and their ranking system even moreso. Nobody really pays attention to it anyway, but it's still annoying every month they come out and it's another eye roll inducing ranking.

I was going to point that out as well untill i read this post. The US r way overrated. When the only games u play r against canada ans south american countries that have like 30 people living in them u r obviously going to be ranked high because you would kill them all. If they were in europe they would be ranked at about the same level as canada and probely wouldent make the WC.
