teneight 1 Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 The draws for the World cup were today. Even though I was born here in Los Angeles, CA. USA. I have root for mexico, since my parents were both born in mexico and most of my family is mexican. USA comes a close second though. It would be a dream come true to see Mexico vs USA in the world cup finalsUSA drew a tough group, with both italy and czehc. Mexico in the other hand, might be the favorite in their groupgroup A1. Germany 2. Costa Rica 3. Poland 4. Ecuadorgroup B 1. England 2. Paraguay 3. Trinidad & Tobago 4. Sweden group c 1. Argentina 2. Ivory Coast 3. Serbia & Montenegro 4. Netherlands group D 1. Mexico 2.

PrtyPSux 0 Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 USA comes a close second though. It would be a dream come true to see Mexico vs USA in the world cup finalsno. Ive seen the previews. Mexico would be down 1-0..there would be an obvious penalty that the ref wont call, then mexico would get pissed like every time they lose and theyd forget about scoring and try to kill anyone that has the ball. it happened in '02 and i cried.

The reason so many players are in Europe is because they are so cheap (inexpensive) compared to other countries..SO they buy them because theyre fast and fit and then they develope their skills over there.

Watching the opening Ceremony is very cool as well. other than the olympics, the world cup is the only other time we see a lot of countries come together. its beautiful. It's like a HUGE war, but without guns and bombs. even though i'm sure there is a few deaths in every world cupI just it the time difference since I really can't see all the games live, unless I want to stay up late night and all early morning Link to post Share on other sites
Rabsox386 0 Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 world cup will be a good one this year, a lot of strong teams. US has a really tough group. Spain, France, and England seem to be strong.And then there's alwasy Brazil. Should be a good one, you can't even say there's a front runner because south korea could make some noise like it did last time. Link to post Share on other sites

USA's key game is their first game against Czech. The face italy for their second game..if they lose both, the easiest and last game they have in the first round against Ghana wouldnt even matter. If USA loses their first game, its over for themteneight Link to post Share on other sites
