    Beware of Slovenia (which is not us). They play a lot like Croatia & could easily whoop anyone's *ss. They sent the Russian billionaires home, and defeated us twice in our qualifying group. The US beat Spain. Things won't be so easy for England, I think!

    (As to NZ & Slovakia, both were celebrating when learning of the other team being paired with them. The future will show whose joy was justified tonight.)

    Ha! Then you play against us, Zpin! Paraguay is certainly the no. 2 favourite in that group, but Slovakia is definitely aspiring to take that spot away from them.

    Plus, Italy is known to have slow starts to World Cup tournaments, so anything can happen.

    For example, if both Italy & Slovakia win their first 2 matches, then Italy may well underestimate Slovakia in the final match, field their B-team (to rest the "best guys"), and might well lose (a) point(s) to Slovakia, and possibly the first place. Not totally improbable!

    (We shall revisit this thread in 6 and a half months from now to chuckle at our predictions from today.)

    AHHHH, Oh no!

    Dont tell me that, i was thinking all last night, it was a easy road to the cup finals!!!

    But anyhow, italy did win the last one, so i guesssss its someone's turn to shine the spotlight this year... and yes it could be Paraguay !

    Anyways, gl to both teams, tho italy should win *wink* *wink* :D :D :D
