My Turn for a top 5?

1. Arsenal-- Beatiful football and some great talent plus they wre thee Invincibles.

2. Newcastle United-- Like Goumas I like Shearer, shame they are in the Championship now

3. Atletico Madrid-- Sergio Aguero, Raul Gaarcia and Fernando Torres.

4. River Plate-- Nice kit

5. Olympique Lyonnaise-- Juninho Pernambcano is just a great player.... great free kicks.

Others: Completely not A.C. Milan >.> I don't even like Maldini, and don't think he is a God.

Torres is a great player. Who do you think will win the World Cup in 2010. I think Brazil will win it all.

Spain has good chances too, Argentina with the help of Messi can go well and England has Fabio Capello he is a very intelligent coach. So I think that these four teams: Brazil, Spain, England and Argentina will be probably at lest in the semifinals

ENGLAND!!!!!

Ok maybe not but we are doing alot better under Capello. I wasn't too impressed with Brazil at the confederations cup but they have a year to get their act together. And at the end of the day they're Brazil so they should do well. France might do ok if Ribery, Hnery and bemzema can replace Zidane. Spain could do it, especially with an extra year of experiece for fabregas. I still think that for 2014 an african team might get pretty far (but it is in Brazil (I think) so they won't win)

They one last time though. Germany had a chance if they didn't get that stupid call against Portugal. If it wasn't for the ref they would've beat Portugal. >

QFT

italy are a bit too old of a team and I don't think their young players will progress enough in a year. not that I'm biased or anything but I don't think Germany will win. Klose is getting older, Lahm is greatm Bastian Schweinsteiger is good as well. Still technically good though... aslmost forgot Ballack great at heading and good on occasion... sometimes abit anonymous for Chelsea though.

True
Italy has some young players Balotelli, Rossi, Aquilani and Montolivo, they need only experience with the national team.

Yeah Italy does. And thanx for agreeing with me.

Last World Cup Final there was to unfair calls. Both of them led to goals.

1. Italy's corner kick- the italian scored on a header but he pushed off a French players shoulder, and lifted himself up. He scored, made the game 1-0

2. Before Zidanes PK- I don't remember who was passed to before it, but he was way offsides. then the italian fouled him in the box and zidane scored on a PK. 1-1 tie was then the score

I agree with your two points, but we have to that these things are very hard for the referee to notice.
p.s. Marco Materazi did everything he scored the goal and did the penalty that Zidane scored.

It would be nerveracking to be the ref in the world cup. Because if you made a bad call that changed the game lots of people would be pissed. They do the best they can though.

Oh I did not now that

and did the penalty that Zidane scored.


wat???
