I think he plays for the Russian league.. many ballers do like Travis Best right now.

He would probably be, yet after the world cup he will be taking over the National Squad, I think that is the best move the mex federation could do. I really do not beleive that a national squad should have naturalized players and lets not talk about the coach that mex has, I really do not like him. But yes Hugo would be a great coach at any team he chooses to coach.

Yes.  Experience and past service are important, but they are not everything.  When dealing with a competition like the World Cup, you need a player who can perform NOW and get results NOW.  Kahn may have been the best in the world four years ago, but his keeping the past year or so hasn't been great.  Lehmann, on the other hand, is experiencing a renaissance with Arsenal -- he's never been playing better.  Right now, Lehmann is definitely the better player and more deserving of the spot.\n\nI won't comment on their attitudes because I think both of them have bad ones.  Kahn has a bit of a superiority/entitlement complex and Mad Jens is, well, mad.

Crouchy is a great player. He may be lacking pace and his heading is sometimes a bit dodgy, but he has a good touch for a big man and is the perfect target for balls into the box. Shame that he looks like he'll be dropped for the Sweden game. Let's hope we see Robo-Crouch again soon!

I don't think so. The looked abysmal against Latvia and that tie will cost them down the line. The roster could be better too. They left their best goalie back in the states: Ryan Miller of the Buffalo Sabres. That was a huge mistake!\n\nI think the three medalists will be Russia, Sweden and Finland, probably in that order.

Hey!!!\n\nIf SHEVCHENKO plays well, Saudi team will lose 5-0

I'm hoping Nakamura, just because he's the rising star.  Topalov is by far the better player - he's got 80 elo points on Kramnik, plus he's been way more active and is in better health.  Clearly he's the overall better player, and I hope (not that it'll happen) that he dominates the (mini)match in september.

You know Rostilav Kesla is a better catch, on a better team, with better teammates.\nPeace.

Sergei Rebrov in his prime was one of the best strikers in Europe.His partnership with Shevchenko at Kiev produced loads of goals and excellent play,not to mention success for Kiev.

Can't realistically see him playing against Trinidad and Tabago, unless it's just for a few minutes. However the way Michael Owen is palying at the moment we need someone to support Crouchy at the front.

Shevchenko is the best, he's a goal scoring machine and he's Ukranian wich is pretty cool because usually Ukraine isn't too good.

Generally he is not in a form . But he remains one of the top players, don't we worry , he is gonna be all right, it was probably exhausting his training programme for the world cup!!!!

He's a clod. I've seen 14 y/o's more coordinated. Eat some red meat and build up that weak body of yours Peepee. Big whoop at scoring 3 vs. a nation that did not qualify for WC 06. What counts is what can be done against really tough opposition.\n\nMost tall center forward types flop at WCs. It's speed, skill and timing that determine the ability to head the ball into the net. Some of the best headers are small players.\n\nI'd take Mexico's Borgetti over Crouchotron any day.

will beat japan ,croatia will be tough but not as hard as uruaguay and a loss against brazil so i think the aussies can go through, i know they will get plenty of nuetrals supporting them which will be in their favour. One must remember what hiddink did with korea last time and this time he has a hell of alot more talent 2 work with so who Knows? All i know is they deserve respect in the last couple of years they have beaten England in a freindly and they beat a Uruaguay also their plyers play in the top leagues.
