Best defense in the World Cup: England
Now you guys should never complain about playing defensively.. because when
Italians put 10 men at the back.. its boring.. but when England does it..
its very intelligent... =^)
Best midfield in the World Cup: Senegal
It almost does not seem to exist.. given the speed at which they transition
between defense and attack!!
Most Fun to watch: South Korea and Senegal
I would have to add Argentina to that list too. If only Batistuta was
injured.. If only Batistuta missed the team bus to Miyagi. If only Sorin cut
his hair to reduce drag that prevented him from putting away two sitters, if
only Saviola was on the bench instead of Caniggia.. if only I can stop
thinking about it.. =^)
Most Unlucky team in the World Cup: Italy.
COMMON they had not 1,2,3,4 but FIVE goals disallowed!! You HAVE to feel a
bit of sympathy for them.
Most Intelligent team: England and USA
Both recognize/respect the fact that they are less talented than their
opposition, and they have come up with some of the best tactics.
Comeback Kings: Ireland
Never say die attitude till the very last minute.
My pick for the World Cup Winners?
England to beat Germany 4-2 in the Final.. =^)
But if it goes to penalties.. Hehe... There can be onle ONE winner.
After all History does repeat itself
- Champions knocked out in the group stage.
- Italians lose to the Koreans
- England beat Argentina 1-0
I personally want Senegal to win the World Cup, but they showed glimpses of
their inexperience against Uruguay.
My World Cup ended with Argentina bowing out.. so it has been a really easy
few days for me. No more pressure while watching the games.. just enjoying
it all!

Sinclair, Scholes, Beckham are all attacking midfielders
only ***is the holding man, and he is great coming forward too.
