Already qualified teams:
Ecuador
Germany
England
Argentina
Holland
Portugal
Brazil
Spain
(8 out of 16)
So let's imagine the group stage ends now, or all 3rd games are 0-0 draws. These would be the 1/8 finals:
Ecuador - Sweden
Perhaps the crappiest game, yet still an interesting one. A solid half-upset against an almost-top European team. Sweden get to be favourites here, but not by a huge margin.
Argentina - Mexico
Not a very confortable match for the most impressive team of the group stage, even if they are favourites here.
England - Germany
Massive match with tons of history behind, big potential to become a world cup classic.
Portugal - Holland
Another great game between two similarly offensive, technical teams. I'd say Holland are very slight favourites.
Italy - Australia
Italy clearly favourites but there's also big potential for an upset. Very interesting match.
Switzerland - Ukraine
Looking a great chance for either of these two teams to be the surprise of the tournament. The swiss to win here.
Brazil - Czech Republic
Would be an absolutely kick-ass match, if the czechs play as well as in their first game. Brazil favourites but watch out.
Spain - South Korea
Great chance for a revenge for 2002. Spain would win 5-0.
It's actually looking very good, isn't it? There's a good chance we'll have atleast 3 or 4 of these games. |

| i'll be surprised if we play germany. at that stage anyway... i think germany will beat ecuador and we'll manage at least a draw with sweden, so will more likely be germany vs sweden, england vs ecuador |

+1... although I still think South Korea could kick Spain's arse :p As for Brazil against Czech Republic, I really wouldn't mind the results - it would be a great game. |

i agree those matches are more likely but wouldn't be surprised at all if the scenario i talked about before happened. all it needs is for either Sweden to beat England, or Ecuador to atleast manage a draw with Germany - not too far-fetched upsets. |

Vaya argentino, animando a Brasil. |

| jajajaja, the thing is that i dont like teams thinking that they are candidates, because they win only one match 4-0. Brasil will make them see reality with good southamerican football lessons, It's a pitty that Argentina can't give them those lessons....:cool: :cool: |
