Definately!! Argentina is extremely talented this year.  I will be really surprised if they don't take it.

I think they can because of the premiership experience they have in Dwight Yorke and Shaka HIslop. They know how most (or all) of the English players play, this will definatley proove to be an advantage. Plus, if they Soca Warriors can hold Freddie Ljungberg, Henrik Larrson and Zlatan Ibrohimavich (sorry about the spelling) at bay with 10 men, imagine what they can do against England. I'm not saying Sweden are better than England, I just think Trinidad and Tobago have alot of potential. If this game is going to go the way I think it will, it  will be a beauty to watch.

Of course it's a fair game and it's one of the nail biting games.I think Wayne Rooneys presence must have given England players a best.The game between England and Paraguay was not the fair one.Trinidad is not out.Still they have a chance.The match between Paraguay and Sweden will decide it.

i dont think T & T  got tired, i think the problem was that england put on lennon and rooney , 2 attacking players which and trinidad were defending deeper and deeper in their penalty area. however the first goal england scored should have been a foul, coz crouch was all over the trinidad defender and he was holding onto his dreadlocks so he couldn't jump, so that was a foul, but the second goal was a good strike from gerrard. trinidad also had some good chances and were unlucky on to score, i think on anotherday they prob would have won the game 2 or 3-1. t & t should be really proud of the way they played and they can still qualify. so gd luck to them. trinidad all the way !!!

No, Brazil will win the world cup this year... I will tell you why?\n\nBrazil won worldcup in 1970 and after that in 1994,\nso if you add up 1970+1994 =3964\n\nArgentina lifted the world cup trophy i 1978 and then 1986 too,\nand 1978+1986 = 3964\n\nGermany were winner of worldcup in 1974 and then 1990,\nSo, 1974 + 1990 = 3964\n\nThe winner of last world cup which was held in 2002 was Brazil and interestingly Brazil has won in 1962 and guess what, 2002 + 1962 = 3964..\n\nSo now if you want to guess the winner of this worldcup then\n3964-2006 = 1958\n\nand who won the world cup in 1958?\n\nits none other that BRAZIL.\n\nMy vote for Brazil....\n\nHurray!!!

Well I am being all partiotic here  by saying Trinidad, but who knows what will happen. Trini performed very well in their last match, esp being one man down, so I think it could go both ways....hopefully Trinidad though :D I am a sooooocaaaa warrior... haha

I think the game against sweden is an advantage to england since now they know not to understimate Trinidad and Tobago.\n\nThings to keep in mind is that Trinidad and Tobago barely had control of the ball, they just did a good job not letting Sweden score but as to chances that Trinidad and Tobago had to score, they were few.  \n\nNow England knows not to understimate the team and I think that will play a role in favor of England.

I think you are right.  Argentina has enough skill, they just need to finish!  Hernan Crespo is amazing, and he will be great this world cup.

Can they win?  Yes, they can.  (31 other teams can also say that, though in reality maybe 8 have any reasonable chance).\n\nDo they have what it takes?  you need to look at them back to front.  They have an adequate keeper in van der Saar.  They have some good young defenders, and as I recall at least one or two good veterans.  their midfield should be very good, with Davids, seerdorf, Van der Vaart, Robben, and the like.  And up front, they have at least 3 world class strikers (Ruud for one, and I temporarily forget the other guy).\n\nAnd the coach has been there, and can relate to players - something that can never be underestimated.\n\nNow their group has Serbia, Argentina and Ivory Coast.  Should they make it out of the group - yes.\n\nBrazil is in the opposite set of groups for at least until the semi-finals, so they won't run into them until then.\n\nWith the exception of Germany, they should have among the highest percentages of 'home fans', so the crowd should be behind them.\n\nCut loose any surprises, and you are left with Holland, Portugal, Spain, Czech Rep., Italy, England, Germany and Brazil as the 'favorites'.  Others who could sneak into there would be the US, Argentina or the Ukraine.\n\nBeing that the matches are in Europe, the South American teams likely will not get the bounce they enjoy nearly anywhere else (in all the 'cups', only Brazil has ever won in Europe).\n\nFigure Spain and Portugal to have some kind of minor collapse (sorry, but it just happens too often not the expect it to magically not happen again), and the numbers whittle down.\n\nEngland have a strong group, but will their stars perform and play together?  With Sven on the way out, I'm thinking they may go a ways, but not to the last.\n\nSo really, I think Brazil, Germany, Italy and Holland will be in the mix for the big prize.  Brazil will have to deal with the foreign soil aspect, and that could go either way (look at France 98).  Home court is a huge advantave, and I expect Germany will make the semi's at least.  Italy will always be tough, but, if they can't score, they can't win.\n\nAnd Holland, traditionally, can score.\n\nWould I pick them in a pool to win it all.  Probably not.  But, can they do it, yes.  I would say they have a decent chance at it, perhaps not as strong a favorite as Germany or Brazil, but definitely they will be in the mix.  It will all depend on their ability to deal with physical teams as they play their fluid passing games.\n\nA couple good bounces, and they could be in the final.  And if its oppsite germany, that could be a very interesting game.  Though, I'd rather see Holland play Brazil, as the flair and passing would cause my TV to melt!\n\n(go yanks!!)

I do!!! \n\nItaly has been playing well and getting lucky breaks! I think we can win!! \n\nthat is of course, if we can beat argentina.. they will be Italy's world cup\n\nafter that, brazil will look easy

okay here is my fair and completly unbaised unanalysis...with paraguay losing this morning to the swedes there out of the tournament....and the small but mighty t&t held strong against favored england only to go down 2-0 with less than ten minutes to play...so who is going to come out of group B champs...well you look at the two top teams ,england and sweden, however both team have been quite the underachievers....englands first winning there 06 world cup debut by an own goal (thanks to the captain of paraguay) and barely pulls off the win today against t&t is not really showing much for a team named as one of the favorites to win the cup.... the swedes as well are not doing to good tying with t&T not to say the small island did not put up a fight...but also only pulling off a win against paraguay with a 83rd min goal....if they can manage to beat england tommorrow they can pull off the top spot...however the likely hood of that is small...even playing less that great england has to much star power with player like beckham and rooney back on the pitch there are to strong to give away the top spot to sweden ...england even with there poor showing in the first two games has already secured a second round ticket....although much more will need to come from players like crouch and owen if they expect to go any further.....as for who will come in second well t&t will have to win against paraguay  ....and the swedes will have to lose to england...those result will leave t&t and the swedes tied with four points each and since head to head was a tie it will come down to goals....and although i have a huge heart for the underdog...i do believe the games will go a victory for england over the swedes and a t&t victory against paraguay...considering that t&T hasnt got in the back of the net yet there chances look glim to win that second seed spot by goals...although four goals would put them ahead of the swedes...the swedes would also have to come out score less against england...so all that to say ....its gonna be england with the top spot and the swedes coming in second with 4 points....altough my heartbreaks to say it the loss to england today and the swedish victory over paraguay pretty much closes the tournament door for the small twin islands of trindad and tobago.....

Ecuador can win the World Cup! HAHAHA. Just kidding. If they continue playing like how they played b4, they can probably go to the quarter final.

There's no doubt that Trinidad will not give up but the odds are on Sweden and Sweden has better players than Trinidad, therefore; Sweden is going to win.

1stly trinidad & tobago expected to lose the game, especially after they'd gone down to 10 men at the start of the 2nd half, \n\n2ndly cos sweden are much higher up in the world rankings than trinidad & tobago so today should have been an easier game for them, \n\n3rdly, sweden have got really high calibre players and shouldn't draw goalless to a side like T & T

Surely england can win the world cup.The rooney factor is impoetant in this context.But let's hope for the best!

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..
