I'm certain Brazil would take them out if they met each other. Brazil are a huge threat in the air and would sit patiently whilst Xavi and Iniesta shift the ball around on their midfield carousel, then once Brazil win the ball they'd ruthlessly expose them on the counter.

Spain are a good side but I think they're a little overhyped.

Thats because the Yanks will win it. all this playing bad and losing is just a cover for when WC starts and they kick the out of those English tossers!!!

Don't worry all you Croats on here we'll show you how to be England since ya'll had a pretty hard time of doing it.














too soon?

^^^lol I'm staying miles away from the US-England banter until after the PL campaign is over. Well, actually a week later than that, when we lift the FA Cup

I think Spain have more quality than any national team I can remember in my lifetime. When they are clicking, like Barcelona, you just can't get the ball from them. But they do, as their game against us in the Confederations Cup showed, struggle sometimes against athletic teams that can muscle them off the ball.

Brazil have loads of technical ability too, but they combine it with a level of athleticism and physicality that Spain can't match. And Dunga has them playing pragmatic and tough. They can beat you a number of different ways. I think they'll win. (realize I'm not going out on much of a limb there.)

Well spain are the favourites to win it thats for sure BUT
tha favourites don't always win at sports thats why we love it!

Not everytime the best team can win so everything can happen.

Just look at ivory coast losing yesterday even tho they were the BIG favourite for the africa cup.

Same goes for spain in the confed cup they were the clear favourite yet they got beaten by USA.

Spain is favorite ... but its normal, we are European Champions...but this is a World Cup and is different ... we've never done something important

Brazil always is brasil, but I like your team and capello (nice mix), Italy, Germany (always win) and Angola of course


but I prefer to see Spurs in the Champions and Real Sociedad in La Liga again
