plus it's Poland, who aren't much cop right now - any team with nous would've stopped Xavi/Iniesta on the edge of the area, by fair means or foul. Not saying I agree with it, but you can guarantee eg italy wouldn't have let him do that, whatever it took.
And look at what happened to cambiasso - Xavi'll proabbly be out of the team by next world cup.

Group D looks like a cracker. England should worry about the potential of meeting Germany int he second round - could easily happen. Can't wait for this to start, tho the 3pm kick off times do pose a few problems

couldn't disagree more. group d looks rubbish. serbia, defensive, australia, defensive, ghana, defensive. germany are quite attacking but seriously, can see a lot of stalemates in that group.

rip this joint please
B (for the Argies and Nigeria alone, i admit), E, H's Hispanophone mash-up, & what Paraguay can do in F are among my more intriguing personals.

i spent bloody ages on the top trumps last night. i will post the whole set once we've gone through the whole round of matches
for me the closest groups will be group A and group F. i seriously cannot wait to see marek hamsik in action. i think the 3 way battle between denmark, cameroon and japan will be v interesting

it will be a marvel.
I'm intersted to see which of the big teams screws up in round 1 and forces a clash of the titans in round 2. possibly holland.

"People might say we are treating them like cattle, but if they behave like animals then we will give no quarter," Rob Young, the police chief in Cape Town, told the Sunday Times....

"The message I sent to any England fans thinking about starting trouble is simple," Young told the British newspaper. "We police the Third World every single day. Do you think we are intimidated by a bunch of drunken boys in football jerseys?"...
"Football hooligans might come here thinking they are tough, but we are the toughest gang in town," he said. "If you stare us down, you will face plastic bullets and water cannons. If that doesn't stop you, we will haul you into prison trains.
"Look out the window here in Cape Town across to some of the most violent communities on Earth. That is our beat, our backyard. That should tell you how tough we are."
