WC 2002

[Olympiakos F.C Forever!]

Ok with the way Germany and England played at EURO,do u think they will qualify for the WC?? Germany is old and just don't have that offensive punch.England overestimate everyone.That will be there downfall! Now us (Greece) Has the talent,but don't work as a team.Our new coach is now teaching the NT to work together and it is working.

Who do u think will be the 2 teams to advance from this group?

Germany
England
Greece
Finland
Albania

?

I think Germany and Greece will make it. England is all talk, and just aren't good enough. The Germans may be struggling, but they'll be back, even if they don't have a good team, they'll manage to qualify.

Germany and England will qualify, they might have had a bad euro 2000. but they are still better than greece, finland, and albania. i don't know about germany but i know england have a great set of young players ready to start playing for there national team. i know people love to criticize england and germany but come on, they both will qualify.

[B@tigol]

Yeah, they'll qualify but won't go far(look at their performance in Euro 2000)

This is what I think:

Germany-way to old,they should rebuild but where is the young talent?

England-underachievers,underestimate everyone,and barely qualified for EURO 2000.

Greece-Very poor performance in EURO 2000,although I have to say our coach was pathetic,still no excuse though,but we got a new one (much better) he is teaching teamwork.Our young talent is now starting to rise,our under-21 NT is a strong force and have joined our NT.

Finland-Someimes good,sometimes bad.You never know.

Albania-Won't be in contention.

I believe It will be either Greece and Germany or Greece/England.One of them will fight each other to he death and Greece will slip by.

Defenitly England and Greece. German have a chance only incase of completly changing the team ( young players ).
Who do you think will qualify YUG, SLO, RUS, SWZ,...? I think SLO and YUG.

for the first group mentioned:
i think that england, germany, and greece are going to fight it to the bone, and all 3 have chances to make it, with perhaps, england and greece the most likely choices. it all depends on whether england comes up with game other than shearer dishing out from the right, if (big IF)greece plays maturely, and if (the other big IF) germany regroups and gets younger.

for the other group listed, i think yugoslavia and slovenia are the choices, although i don't know what to say about russia at this point. there seems to be a stagnation of talent from them. the swiss won't be a problem in that group

Its gonna be England and Germany/ Greece

England - much better than all the teams in the group but didnt do good in euro because they had a though group

Germany- not a good squad but have some talent , but i think they get a good run from Finland and Greece

Greece- improved team and much better with Machlas and Limberpoulos (something like that) and should be counted out

Finland- good on offense but weak on defense the cn playgood teams but breakdown with weaker ones

Albania- no comment

[Azerkid]

sorry about saying Greece should be counted out , its shouln't be counted out, it was typo
