So the USA plays the Czech Republic on June 17, Italy five days later, and then Ghana to finish out the first round. That is one TOUGH group, but Im very optimistic about our chances.

round of 16 for the red, white, and blue - how do you guys think your countries will do?

I hope Australia makes it past the 1st round, thats all

my group is

Japan
Brazil
Croatia or Czech Rep ?

Heh.

Hope they will underestimate us and we come out on top due to element of surprise, because the coolest way of winning is coming from behind. And if we lose in the second round to a "super" team then I'd have no problems with that too.

WOOT FAITH IN COUNTRY OVERRIDES ALL COMMON SENSE

How long has it been since Australia last made it to the world cup? Breaking the curse is a big step, I wouldnt be surprised to see the Aussies qualify every 4 years for a long time.

The Aussies have a loooooooooooooooooooooong way when qualifying to the WC, I'm glad they've made it, but that's one mad group you've got.. :-/ It'll take a fucking miracle to get through from there, not many teams in teh world have the skills to pull that off.

Last time they made it was like 197x

We definitely have improved leaps and bounds over the last 7-8 years though, I just hope the star players aren't too old by now. but we've pulled some upsets before, including the 3-1 smashing of England's mostly A team a few years back, so if the others underestimate them we'll make them pay... hopefully.

I fully acknowledge the fact that there's "better", proven teams out there but I still will back my country woooot

Honestly I think of all the first timers in this WC Australia has one of the better chances to make it - Brazil is a given to advance but Japan and Croatia arent out of Australia's league.

Sweden is pretty sick too, Ibrahimovic (spelling?) is the kind of talent who can carry a team. Out of USA, Sweden, and Australia I would say Sweden is in the best situation right now.
