i'm not worried about getting out of the group,england have never failed at getting out of a group

we got out of argentina,nigeria,sweden,england which is a group of death,

but the usa is a tougher game than most of us think,the only problem is losing the first group game,the pressure is really on then and things get nervy

France 0 - 1 China

I don't even know how France could make it past the group stage in the qualifying.

Just look at the results. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_FIFA_World_Cup_qualification_(UEFA)#Group_7 (Click on the main article. Direct linking doesn't work...)

Mexico is gonna win group A for sure.

you know ALGERIA knocked  the IVORY COAST out of the afican cup of nations,i'd say the USA are better than the ivory coast too,

i wouldn't call it the group of death at all.not for brasil anyway,they'll walk it,if portugal can't beat north korea and the ivorians they don't deserve to being going through anyway,

good luck anyway,obviously who wins between portugal and the ivory cast will decide who goes through,life got easier without drogba

 

I agree completely. Both teams are on the reach of the Portuguese team, if they play they game and are focused. In the end, if everything goes right, final game against Brazil will decide who leads the group, which will be Brazil, almost 100% guaranteed.

The next big problem for Portugal, if we go through the group phase, is that we'll most likely face the winner of group H, which is going to be Spain (they'll get the full 9 points in my opinion). We're totally screwed against them

Algeria got beat 3:0 by Republic of Ireland in a friendly, we shouldn't have to many problems

in 1982 Germany was ranked NUMBER ONE by the FIFA and everyone now know what happen they cheat with Austria to pass the group and thank GOD there was ROSSI from ITALY to beat Germany in the FINAL and in 1986 Algeria played one of the best match against the BIGGEST TEAM ever in the world BRAZIL after because of the politics problems I mean the French Governement and the Tony Blair etc.. Algeria lived in huge dark era and we were not able to recieve our greatest player from europe and as you know the third Genius in Football after PELE and MARADONA is indeniably ZIDANE who is algerian not french.

England, USA and Slovenia we will see what ALGERIA is capable of don't underestimate us we know Football too.

and about Ireland is not in the World Cup ok We ARE.

The thing is, Ireland isn't on the WC, because of how they were robbed in the game against France. They play a very good football.

I don't think that any team in the WC should be underestimated, but reality speaks for itself. Pretty much, England, Spain, Holland, Brazil, Argentina, Germany, Italy and France are the main candidates to go through in their groups and to eventually win the WC. 

The rest is up to how each individual nation fares in their respective game.

you don't know Germany I do and Algeria is big than both Germany and Egypt because both of them cheated and had the support of the Fifa for their cheating we didn't cheat we are playing football not cheating Algeria beat Germany and Egypt not with cheating and about 1982 they admitted and Egypt you saw what happen in the African Cup this year our match against Ivory Cost proove many many things and was ranked the BEST MATCH THIS YEAR By THE FIFA.



I still don't no how Algeria beating Germany 30 years ago has any relevance to this world cup. Algeria got smashed 3:0 by Ireland who DIDN'T qualify for the World Cup. I stand by my comments that England shouldn't have any problems in beating the North African team.

If it's any consolation I would prefer Algeria to advance through the groups in second ahead of USA

you sound bitter lol

still doesn't change my opinion that Egypt > Algeria

About 1982. Germans and Austrians were simply clever. Unsportsmanlike - yeah probably, but still that wasn't cheating.

Blame the FIFA for not letting the teams play simultanously back then.

No doubt about that lol.

Although I'd even prefer that Algeria wins the group, so that we can meet us in the round of 16  :D
