Well , the chances are there.. the problem with ecuador is that they play not to lose, with 3 draws u wont make it ... the key is to beat poland.... ecuador are superior than costa rica , so they should win that... hopefully germany play ecuador with 6 points which could make the game easier...

That's not easy to answer, but I will try and throw in my twopence of football opinion.\n\nEngland should be the better team and is certainly much more experienced than Ecuador. However, the Ecuadorians are strong chaps and have a lot of energy. They also suffer so far no player injuries and have surprised observers in their previous matches.\nSo, on paper England should win. But Ecuador could present the Beckham Boys with a surprise. I expect a win for England, with a goal difference of not more than two.\n\nHolland v Portugal will be a very interesting match, since it sets two different styles of European football against each other. The Portuguese are clearly the better team and the better tacticians, but the Dutch are strong fighters with a lot of stamina. Overall, I would expect Portugal to win with a goal difference of one.

ecuador, they are just better, they beat poland, and poland barely lost against germany, and they had 10 men, if u ask me, i even think that ecuador could beat germany. but, we'll find out later.

I couldn't possibly know that they'll make it to the semis but I do believe they have a legitimate chance. They'll surely move on to the next round and from there it will be interesting to see how the matches turn out. It will be tough though, without Blanco, undoubtedly one of the better play-makers on the team.

They have a serious chance, with all resting on the game vs. Croatia. Hopefully, Japan will do them a favour by beating the Croats. I think the battle for 2nd spot is up for grabs!

hmm... depends on who will qualify for the cup

no, they failed to qualify in the qualifying stages. They should be though, because they are one of the top 32 teams in the world, they could beat Angola, Tunsia, Togo, and probably others too. Ireland get ripped off if you ask me.

I don't think they will lose today. The are more experienced than Ecuador. And it will be nice to see a game England vs Brazil, but in the next phase they'll meet either Portugal or Netherlands.

It's always a 50-50 chance, ain't it? Personally, I think England has a tough match ahead of them. Ecuador has been quite consistent in their matches while England has struggled with their wins. But I'm going with England as the winning team because Beckham can step up and deliver when the occasion calls for it.

So far Ecuador, Germany, England, Portugal, Argentina, Netherlands, and Brazil. I think Korea definatly has a good chance of advancing.

Pretty far, actually. According to FIFA, they are #2 in the world's rankings after Brazil. I'd say if they keep doing well, they've got a real chance for the cup.

i think ecuador is hitting big this year, i mean talk about before, its their second ever in all their history that they actually get classified for the world cup and bam they begin playing hard. i really hope they make it to the last, even though everyone goes around laughing at it, its pretty sad those people dont even read newspapers to be INFORMED of what is going around worldwide. all i have to say is, READ people READ!!!

They will defantly get to the 1st Round.Their group is pretty easy.Henry is going to score like crazy while Zidane is going to give it his all since he is retiring after the WC.They might run in to Spain in the 1st round but that is doubtfull.I'm not sure if they will win the 2nd game but they should get there at least.
