LOL\n\nI wish I could be half this confident we are even going to make it to the 2nd round.  Brazil does seem to have some primadonas on the team, and I have to admit I'm more worried about Ghana than I will be if we end up playing Brazil.

Nope.. I dont think Gunguly's services are required for the World Cup.. India has a perfect combination of Young blood and Experience already.. without him. If he wants he can be an "Experience Advisor" to the team which goes to the World Cup.

yes i think so...With the world cup just few days away, the people are all getting ready to have a time of their lives. The Fifa World Cup 2006 promises to be the biggest and the best ever with enhanced technologies in refereeing, player’s protection and many more. Enhanced styles of defending, attacking and enhanced team strategies have all made this competition bigger and better.\nAll 32 teams competing in the tournament will come to Germany with just one motto….Winning the World Cup and holding aloft the famous Jules Rimet trophy and bringing their country enormous pride and fame.\n\nWayne Rooney’s possible withdrawal from the England national team due to injury has affected the morale of the English team in a negative way. Moreover, it has cast a dark shadow over the tournament. He was supposed to be the player to look out for, but no more. But, this won’t stop the fans from watching the tournament, or at least England’s matches. Each one of the seats is expected to be filled on every match occasion. After all, Rooney is not the only player in the English national team. Other famous names like Micheal Owen, David Beckham and Steven Gerrard are sure to entertain and they will also be enough to win the trophy. The favourites should not go to the tournament with over-confidence and the underdogs can always take inspiration from North Korea ( 1966 ), Senegal ( 1999 ) and South Korea (2002 ). They should go into the tournament mentally strong as they have nothing to lose. For Robinho (Brazil), Lionel Messi and Sergio Aguero (Argentina), Torres, Fabregas and Sergio Ramos (Spain) and numerous other young players from different countries, it will be a test on the big stage, a test of courage, skill and stamina.\nFor the more experienced ones like Christian Veiri (Italy), Raul (Spain), and others, it will be the last opportunity to win a Major trophy.\nBrazil look the clear favorites, with Germany and England also standing a huge chance. But in the big stage, no team is big and no team is small. We can take example from different occasions, North Korea beating overwhelming favorites Italy in the 199 world cup, Senegal beating host nation France in the first match of the 1998 world cup and co-host South Korea overcoming hurdles like Italy, Portugal and Spain to reach the semi-finals of the 2002 world cup. The pride of their countries is at stake. Everyone will go there to win but, there will be only one winner. Should Brazil win it,it would be their record 6th title and if England do so, they will get to win the title after 40 years. Germany, the host nations will also be making efforts to win the title after narrowly missing out on the 2002 competition after being beaten by Brazil in the finals. Spain, with their young team which is going to set the whole tournament on fire fancies it’s chances too. Only God knows who is going to win. We can just pray that the nation we support get to win the title. But as it is said, Victory belongs to the most persevering. May the best team win.

the rankings are based on a few things past world cup performance, championship titles i.e african cup of nations and confederations cup so as mentioned before most rankings mean nothing due to the fact that most of the teams never meet until they face off at the world cup and there are no 2nd chances on the world stage, ghana are just a fabulous side and the u.s. suck

The US has a tough group. With Italy and Czech Republic, two established and proven squads are expected to go through. Ghana is one of Africa's strongest and most unpredictable teams. Getting into the knock-out round would be a great result for the US.\nBest result ot hope for would be a 2nd place for Group E which means they will have to play the winner of Group F, Brazil. While the US Boys have vastly improved, that should be the end of their run.

Ghana will be the first real test for Brazil in this tournament. By now Brazil was unimpressive: slow playing, few ideas, disappeared forwards. Really difficult make prevision with a team hidden in shadows.. It's better to wait for next match...

Côte d'Ivoire for sure they played against one of the best team,Argentina and they also scored.Whereas Ghana played against Czechs which is no better team compared to Argentina.I think you find the difference.

Ghana might still be in the world cup, but they are not the best. Ivory Coast definitely are the best. They play fantastic football.\n\nBut if Ghana can make it to the semi-finals of the world cup, then I might change my mind. I'll stick with the Ivorians, I enjoyed all their game - beginning with those of AFCON up until they were knocked out in the finals by Egypt. The game I enjoyed the most was the one they played against Cameroon, in the quarter-finals of AFCON ~ winning on penalties, and everyone on both sides including the goal-keepers scoring their penalties.\n\nIt was classic!!\n\nIf we go by the rankings, of the five teams you mentioned above - the order from best to worst is:\n\nTunisia(21), Ivory Coast(32), Ghana(48), Angola(57) and Togo(61).\n\nHowever the best teams in Africa are:\n1. Nigeria\n2. Cameroon\n3. Egypt\n4. Tunisia\n5. Senegal \n6. Ivory Coast\n7. Morocco\n8. Ghana\n9. Guinea\n10. South Africa

If you are a Ghana fan, almost any alcoholic beverage will do.  If you are supporting the US, I'd suggest something laced with arsenic.  You'll appreciate that towards the end of the match.

They've been trying for a while but this is their first time. I really want them to win or at least do well cause I went to Ghana earlier this year and they're great people. Come on Ghana!

Anything can happen.  They've played well so far but i dont know if they will be able to beat brazil in their next match although i want them to. Go Ghana.

No, It has inspired me, some good games by ghana, costa rica & cote de ivory... really big teams struggled with these guys. good matches, lots of hits and misses happens in all the WC, watch out for some more interesting games, may the best team win.

Theoretically, I guess its possible.\nBut considering the fact fact that 4 of the 5 african nations are first-timers, the likelihood is quite low.\nBut I'm sure they'll do their best.

As a Brazilian, I have to say I am very sad that we will play Ghana so soon and only one of the teams will advance. Ghana is the nicest team to watch so far, and the match against the Czechs was the best I've seen in the World Cup. \nAnswering your question: yes, you can beat us and, if you do, Ghana will be my team to the final. Good luck!\n\nYou know, Iran beat the US in 1998, and it doesn't seem it allowed them to play with Uranium. You may have to wait on that one...

We need something! That game was a sleepwalk. And Bruce Arena looked as unfazed by getting our butts handed to us as our team did. \n\nItaly v. Ghana was a REAL match. Where are their coaches from?
