you mean the team that lost to Gerd Müller, Franz Beckenbar & co Or you mean the '90 team with Rijkaard and van Basten that lost to Klinsmann, Völler and Matthäus?

I don't think Holland will win the world cup, but looking at the squad list it doesn't seem as shit as you're saying.

Yes, their attack + midfield look good and VDS is a quality goalie.
Dunno about the defence tho :/

Boularouhz is a superb defender!

It's absolutely impossible to foresee the winner, but my bet goes to France, because they are only runner-ups (they are good in this position) and they have the mentality to win this tournament, not this "oh shit not another world tournament, we need more sex with top models instead of playing football" like in Portugal 2004 or in Korea 2002.
And if you add the will of Zidane, Thuram and Barthez, you can have the good equation.
But, as I said first, there is a bunch of teams able to win, but I don't see Brazil this time.

I really hope that Mexico can do a great campaign, i'm not betting on them to win, but it would be great to have them at least in the semifinals, it's my second team.

I think holland have a great chance. I dont know much about there defenders. DOnt know much about AZ but they did very well i nthe dutch league. Barring a completely retarded system for qualifying for a champions league place they would be there next season.


There midfield and attack is excellent. THey seemed to of sorted out the trouble insdie there squad which they had for the past Touraments. TOpped there WC group who had czech republic and romanania.


40/1 for them to win and RVN to be top scorer, not a bad bet.

Doing very well in the dutch league isn't exactly something to brag about. However Holland does have a good squad but according to many experts they might be too young and pressure at these stages might get to them... hence so many dutch people pissed because players like seedorf and maakay didn't make it when they have been there before...

Didn't read the other posts but I think Brazil's team is just too good and they are capable of handling the pressure... but you know... you get this funny feeling that they won't end up winning it. I'd bet for any of the top european favorites, question is who. I'll wait for the friendlies and prior days before the WC to make up my mind lol
