Well, i guess you say that because of Greece winning 2004 Euro Cup.. lol that was the biggest fluke of the century... nonetheless i don't think Spain's gonna win the WC... we always have one of the best teams (this time the best one) and then go out in the quarter finals xD, terrible luck..

erm.. no. Argentina's team is the best team (name by name that is)...

 

[Cesc Fabregas]

Spain have the best team. Del Bosque messed up by playing both Sergi Busquets and Alonso, if he is going to play 5 in midfield he needs to play Fabregas because he can link with the fowards and do the most damage in the final third. Next game it should be Busquets/Alonso, Xavi and Fabregas in midfield with Iniesta at LWF, Villa at RWF and Torres through the middle.

I see the chances of Spain making it to the next round as less than 50-50 at this point. Assuming they beat Honduras (and nothing can be assumed in one soccer match) the match with Chile is a toss up.

After watching Serbia beat Germany today, I think the Serbia-Djokovic combo is not so unthinkable. Djokovic winning Wimbledon would not be such a huge shocker. And soccer, once it gets into knockout rounds, is pretty unpredictable. The chances of wild upsets in soccer are much, much higher than in tennis.

Thread revived from dead lol. I guess its down to Spain now. I hope it doesn't happen though, I've really come to like Germany.

Goddamn Paul the octopus, why couldn't it have predicted Germany!

Anyway the Rafa/Spain double is really on now!

2008 - Rafa does the FO-W combo and Spain win the Euro Cup

2010 - Rafa does the FO-W combo and looks like Spain will win the World Cup

It's a good time to be a Spaniard. I'm not Spanish myself, Pero Yo Puedo Hablar En Espanol.
