and dont forget the all important runnign battles with police and army reservists which make it all worth while... the only thing I think you Brits should rethink is the bloody horrendous singing.. thats just cruel and unusual punishment and I find it uncouth.

Gotta go with ivory coast and England, if Rooney gets fit in time and Wallcott makes it....they could really be explosive.

Africa - Essien, Aphia(sp) = Ghana
World - Kaka, Robinho, Ronal.................. = Brazil

but the final if they don't meet in the knock out stages will be
Argentina vs Brazil... now if he regains fittness it's on...
I'm talking bout the world no1 teenage footballer, forget Rooney
I'm asking "LAWD HAVE..." Messi...

Oh it's so on...

think the ivory coast is going to be the least embara**ing African team... :lol:

look out for argentina & brazil!

There's nothing embara**ing about Ivory Coast,,, I rate them as a legitimately good international team.

Bafana Bafana on the other hand,,,

they aight, but think cameroon would have advanced further had they got a chance to go to the world cup.

won't be the least bit surprised if no african team advances past the 1st round & some without having scored a goal & having lost all matches! it has to be the shittest representation of africa @ the world cup since i started watching the sport

I'm tired of the so-called African heavyweights always going to rep @ the World Cup. I say if they so good then they must qualify!

It is this gaint mentality that has the organisers of the next AFCON setting up like (I think) 12 groups of 4 with all the so-called heavyweights in each group with relative minors never having to play each other virtually guaranteeing them all of a birth! BULL I SAY! Let Togo & Angola represent remember ever WC has a cinderella story!
