The Socceroo's play Denmark in a friendly tommorow on their way to their second sucessive World Cup, so ive created a thread for World Cup discussion. Post your thoughts, tips and opinions about it here.

Countries competing are;



Socceroos face Germany first on the 13th of June. Group D is Australia, Germany, Serbia and Ghana.

Our group matches look like this;



My three tips are Spain, England and Argentina as frontrunners for the title with Cote d Ivoire as bolters. Discuss.

spain vs france final both of them look like the strongest teams

hopefully italy drop dog any other teams this year [sm-angry]

gl Aussie's got a tough group

its going to be an interesting world cup, a lot of big names have been dropped that i guess u'd consider regular internationals, but its only going to make games more exciting.

Argentina clearly have the most amazing forward line, however there defence IS something to sneeze at.

Germany have copped to injuries in their key midfield, but I think Schweinsteger has had a great season for Bayern, and if he has a good world cup, they'll still make Quarters min.

Italy as per usual have a solid defence, however probably the weakest attacking lineup for what they COULD have offered.

England are looking pretty good on paper as per usual, Ashley Young is someone to look out for, and its down to Cappello to get the best out of Rooney.

Brazil probably have a better defence then Italy, and with their usual stars i think there progress will come down to sheer form on the day, the can have a good run in.

Spain have the best midfield, two amazing strikers, and a few solid defenders, but whether Torres can stay fir for the whole tournament, whether Xavi, Iniesta, Fabregas, Alonso can continue to mix well is a different story. They always seem like they are going to win it, but then put out bad key performances when they need to step up, similar to arsenal in their inconsistency.

lol its funny because every person that is going there is going to get mugged, rapped or killed

its funny cause ur so clueless

England are gonna b quiet achievers this world cup imo

but come on Aussies!

Yeh, i support england, not much has come from them in the last few, hoping it changes this time round!

Brazil and Argentina in the final fo sure.

Spain V Argentina

Yeah argentinas line up looks choppppage

why the hell would you want to go to S.A to watch this. Go NZ!

its funny because i actually lived there dumb ****en gypsy

Argentina, Brazil, Spain Top3 ...

I'm going to put a sly tenner on Holland. Great attacking and midfield but the defence is the dodgy part.

I reckon it's Spain's competition to lose though. Class across every position. Just a matter of whether they'll bottle it like they always do (just like the Dutch)!
