Does any one know how the Dutch and the French teams will do this time? I'm a big fan of Bergkamp and Zindane.

That is  a great question that I can help you answer.France will get through the first round,their group is really easy.Henry is going to score like crazy mostly because Zidane came back to the international game.Holland will make it past group stage but as number 2 in their group.Argentina will beat them and have a chance at winning the World Cup.Netherlands has a small chance at going to the finals while France could go to the finals but would lose to Brazil.(Unlike in World Cup 98' where Zidane had 2 goals and they beat Brazil to win the World Cup)

France is now in balance. Zidane has had his first goal ..difficult to stop him..  one more yellow card will put him in trouble. geting better .. france can win

Good, they have a very strong team and will be very well supported in Germany.  After England, Holland is the team I would most like to see win the WC this summer.

Floyd Landis(innocent until proven guilty) will still be a contender depending on what team will be willing to sign him.  The strongest team will be Disco if everyone makes it through the season.  There are a lot of races between now and July.  And the recent signing of Basso sets them up to return to the podium in the top spot for GC.  Valverde is strong but I don't believe strong enough to beat out Basso.  His day will come.  Some dark horses are still Cadel Evans from down under and Alexandre Vinokourov who won La Vuelta.  I believe Ulle's time has passed.  And le TdF is not set up for his strengths this year.  I was really excited last year to see if Basso could pull a double.  But I am just hoping to see the top contenders get to race w/o all the speculation that surrounded last year's event.

I am going to make what people are going to say is a crazy pick, but i will pick Henry from the French team because Frances group is very weak.  Even though Brazil has been winning their matches 5-0, i think that trend will stop soon, and that the weakness of France's group will help Henry.

I think Netherlands is the team for future and because the goal Macao fan Bastien has ( FUTURE ) he used such a players ....! so there is not a Chance for him !\nand also the other reason was that he didn't want the famous players to disturb the atmosphere of the team !

Its been confirm that Lukas Podolski will not be able to play in the Germany vs Cyprus match due to his injury.....and they predicted that either Mike Hanke or most likely Oliver Nueville would take his spot in front.......\n\nPoor Poldi....I was hoping that he would be able to play during that match......Oh well......GOAL GERMANY!!!! (^^,)

In order to win the"Golden boot" you need to be on a team that will go deep into the tournament.The best natural finisher would be Shevchenko of Ukraine...Eto'o of Barcelona(the Worlds best right now) is from Cameroon...they did n't make it...so they won't be around.Brazil and Argentina have good scorers like Ronaldo,Adriano,Crespo,Teves and Messi but they will spread the goals around...less goals each but more wins!!!So who's left Rooney is out,Owen only has one foot and Walcott Englands best natural goal threat is like 12 years old or something so they will be relying on their midfield to produce.Italy has Toni and Del Piero,Germany has Klose and Podolski,France has Henry and Trezeguet sharing goals and Ivory Coast star Drogba won't see the second round so Here's my pick Hollands only scoring threat Ruud Van Nistlerooy...he'll have to bang 'em all in for the Dutch...expect them to do well!

The Netherlands are not over-reliant on Robben. Today he played well and had a very nice goal. I think that with the play of Van Nistelroy and Van Bronckhurst among others they are well balanced. Look at Van Der Sar he played very well. I would like to see Robben play better. He needs to look for the open player. Several times he retained possession far to long while an open man was available. If he plays as selfishly again I would hope his playing time would be reduced. Team work wins the CUP!

I am so proud of the team especially for making it out of a group whom everyone thought was the group of death. The US coach wrote them off. It shows how you should not underestimate anyone in football. Their game with the US was not as strong as what they showed against the Czechs but that could be because they were aware of the importance of the game and were probably tense. I hope they bring that game back against the Brazilians. And they can make an impression. If they can hold the Brazilians, that will be wonderful, and if they are amazing enough to beat the Brazilians......

yes, I think the mixture of experienced and young players this time (Figo, Deco, Ronaldo) is more promising than in the last years.\nSo they will surely better their performance from the last world cup. Is it enough to go very far? Difficult, as they will play either Argentina or Netherlands in the knock out stages..

Yes It will be a tough game, it´s a pity that one of them has to leave the world cup. Both teams are strong, I need to watch the game to pick my favorite.

Wonderful match between the two teams. It was what I was expecting. Holland disappointed me greatly though. I really did expect them to be on top of their game today ~ but I was let down. \n\nGood fight put up by Portugal and England are in for a big fight next Friday ~ they better be ready.\n\n16 yellows & 4 reds ~ the most booked game so far, but very good refeering. The referee was excellent - the players were very physical. Judging by the players' behaviour, the referee was very linient. It could have been worse,
