Germany
Why they move on: The Germans always seem to do well. Suffocating defense and offense lead by world-class players like Klose, Podolski, Gomez.
Why they wont: Not living up to the potential of the talent on the team.

Germany and Ghana. This is a tough group though. I think Australia performed well last time and probably a little beyond their actual standard. Serbia are good but this might be one World Cup too soon.

For me i think Germany and Australia are the teams to proceed through the group stage . Germany is a powerful team and has a great history in football , where as talking about Australia , I think this team is an Underdog team which has great potential of making changes in big games and even shock world 's best footballing nations through their high quality team play .

Germany & Ghana....playing in Africa is a huge boost for Ghana. Aussies don't have Hiddink to work his magic this time.

I think the Serbs will surprise people. Their defenders are second to none and have a young playmaker in Krasic.

GERMANY, GHANA MOVE ON

Wager! Serbia gives up 4 goals in the first round.

You mean the first game og group play right? Who do they have Brazil? No problem. They give up 2 goals max.

 

[Mulli]

first game is against Ghana. Not only will Serbia not give up 4 goals they will win 2-0

I meant in the round phase. Not first game. Ghana scores on them.

oh your assuming Serbia makes it past the group stage? No problemo.

That means if Serbia doesnt advance I win

Oops I really did mean group phase.

 

[CaptTurbo]

OK so you have Ghanna scoring 4 or more on Serbia. HEHE man I wish that was an even bet online lol

There is more than one game in the group phase, right?

 

[Milgod]

Right you two! Mulli meant that Srbia will let in at least 4 goals in the group stage. There are three games in the group stage. Are we all clear now?

 

[CaptTurbo]

There is more than one game in the group phase, right?

You said first game. That is the ghanna game. If you want the entire group phase I want 5 or less you get 5 or more.

 

[Mulli]

You said first game. That is the ghanna game. If you want the entire group phase I want 5 or less you get 5 or more.

Never said first game.

Serbia may have a defense but their attack is anemic. The WC being in Africa is going to be a huge boost for Ghana.

Jovanovic had 5 goals in 8 qualifying games, Krasic had 6 assists and Zigic whos got 13 goals in 19 games for Santander in Spain. Not the best known mids, but productive none the less.

Hold on. If their D is so good then letting 4 goals in three games would not be what they would call successful. That would surely be a failure for a team with a top D?

 

[Milgod]

Oh yeah, I forgot to say about the 2006 World Cup.
Serbia in qualification - Unbeaten. Finishes ahead of Spain and only lets in ONE goal. Pretty great stuff.
They get to the World cup with that brilliant qualification record and lose the first game 1-0. The second to Argentina 6-0 and the final game they lose 3-2 to Ivory Coast (after being 2-0 up).
