Again, yes. But not this year. They are not as strong a team as they were compared to past years. England and Netherlands are strong too. So this world cup will be one of the more exciting ones

this is what a team needs to win a world cup...good defense, strong goalkeeper, balance midfielders, and opportune strikers... the team that does that is mexico.  The goalkeeper has been there for four years, good defense with barcelona marquez as captain, and three chivas players- salcido, rodriguez, and pineda; they know each other in how they play. Pavel Pardo is the veteran midfielder as he played in France 98 and Gerardo Torrado in Korea-Japan 02.  Borgetti as oppotune stiker just like Korea-Japan, Bravo as the 2nd leading striker in last yr. Libertadores, Kikin Fonseca as part as back-to back winner with Pumas UNAM, finally Guille Franco playing with Villarreal in the semis of the Champions League.  They prove they have to win in Confederation Cup last year in Germany, the mexicans always complained that we play "B" teams, not the best around and that is why we lose in the round of 16. They got to play Brasil "A" team and won 1-0, played Argentina "A" til penalties, and went extra time with Germany "A" team.  Experience=victories.

Long before Holland, we have to consider Czechoslovakia(now the Czech republic), who lost the 1934 Finals to Italy and in 1962 to Brazil.\n\nBut it was the Mighty Magyars, perhaps as the best team never to have won it. They lost in 1938 to Italy, but in 1954, they were the best team in the world. However, the rain and Adi Dassler's (Founder of Adidas) boots, which the Germans changed to midway through at 0-2 down, to get a better grip, that helped them overcome the elements and eventually Hungary, to win 3-2.

Nope, I don't think they have a chance. Many people 'jumped the bandwagon' and all of a sudden supported Czech just cause they crushed the U.S. 3-0. When they themselves got beaten by Ghana, everyone was skeptical. I think they are a good team, but I do not believe they will not even make it to the semi-finals, (forget about the final). They might have 'sheer talent and 'raw determination', but be realistic there are much better teams than them. Germany & Brazil have a better chance....\n\n\nBut who knows, it is really to early to know. Maybe I might eat my words....and maybe I won't.

They'll be lucky to get past the first round. Czech Republic has a strong team and Italy is out of the question. After watching the Germany game, I don't think they'll do well. The Us needs to stop playing friendlies against such weak opponents. All that does is raise false confidence.

It's a shame because you have a lot of crap teams in the World Cup that shouldn't even be in the tournament. Like Angola, Togo, Trinidad&Tobago, and the US. I'll pick watching Stelios Giannakopoulos and Dimitrios Papadopoulos play than a couple of no names like Angolia's Fabrice Akwa and Pedro Mantorras any day. I would also rather see Alexey Smertin than crappy Landon Donovan(the girl who couldn't take playing in Europe because it was too cold and he sucked compared to the other non-american players)

They will make it to the semifinals, and here is why.  Italy has both Totti and Vieri coming off injury, they will not be in playing shape yet.  The Czech Republic relies too much on Nedved, who is not playing well right now.  He is also a headcase who will do something to hurt his team at some point.  The US wins the group, and Italy finishes second.  Then the US will beat Ukraine because the US is simply better, and then eliminate an overrated French side in the quarterfinals.  Netherlands will beat the US in the semis.

that would be a definite yes.They have the perfect team,everything from their defence to striking is the best.MOst of the defenders in the world team of the year was from ac milan.and we all know shevchecko is one of the best, so eventually with a team like that they willl WIN.

Serbia is not that a bad team at all but the 24 pass goal, and the huge number of goals scored only shows the ultimate prowess that Argentina has as a team. It would be bad to take away their credit and say that Serbia is a poor team. Argentina did good and taught everybody else a lesson on how teamwork is done.

Currently ManUtd is eyeing Nemanja Vidic, one of the members of the Serbian and Montenegro ever famous defenders, also known as the 'famous 4'. ManUtd has been having problem with its defence lately, letting in quite a number of goals. If I;m not mistaken, Vidic has already agreed to join MU, passed medicals and are expected to start off sometimes real soon.\n\nThey have also been looking for someone to replace Roy Keane in midfield. Alan Smith has been playing great, but not as great as Keane I supposed. John Mikel Obi a youngster from Nigeria is among the ones MU interested in but is having some dispute with Chelsea over him.

Serbia has a good team. They were outplayed today. It is only a game, one result.

Tough question. Their squad is pretty darn good with Klose and Ballack but hey! you never know.

The US team is indeed great this year but they will have a tough time making into the next round now as they need to win against Ghana who upset Czech 2-0 plus they will need to beat them by atleast 3 goals unless Italy beats Czech in the next game.\n\nThe French have Zinedine Zidane who actually was the greatest player in the world --a world champion, European champion, European Cup winner and three-time FIFA World Player of the Year.  Unfortunately, every player's time eventually comes; he will be retiring after this cup.\n\nI'm supporting the USA also (though it will take a near miracle to make it into the next round - not altogether their fault - bad ref in Italy game) but I'm predicting Argentina upset over Brazil 2-1.

I honestly cannot see the USA winning this match. The sheer quality present in the Czech team should overpower the Americans. That said, there are some gems in the USA squad, but my bet is definitely on the Czechs.

They played the Czech republic. They lost 3-0. They played horrible. I hope they can come back and beat Italy this weekend, but it'll be tough.
