Of course, looking at the draw, the Germans are in the tough 'side', facing Argentina this weekend and then (presumably) Spain or Portugal in the semi's, should they progress. Brazil or Holland, should they meet in the quarters, have a much easier route to the final (against Uruguay)

Fuck Brazil, Argentina and Spain in that order.,
RomaShield27 wrote:Really, Lomba? I think (potentially for Germany) facing England < Argentina < Spain is a lot harder than facing Chile < Holland < Uruguay (for Brazil). I like Uruguay, they are a very good team with extremely hard-working and tough midfielders and a lot of class upfront (even Cavani has impressed me for them – I think its 'cos he realises he's not the main man in the side and so has to work hard and track back, something which he has done very well for them), but I don't think they would be as fearsome opponents at the Spanish would in a WC semi-final. They may well trouble Brazil because they would be well used to them, but the Brazilians should have enough to beat them. Germany, on the other hand, after humiliating Engerland, now have an extremely tough and hard to call game against the Argies, and if they win that they could (potentially) be facing a very dangerous Spanish side.
MI, I have to say that possibility never even came to my mind when saying who I'd like to win.
As long as its not Portugal. They are horrible, whiney, moaney cnuts and I don't understand how any neatral could support them.
