Oh damn it took me too long to see that the Siccness had a WC thread. Hell yeah. I was out at the last major tournament, Euro 2004, was at every damn Portugal match right through to the final, that was way too much of a party.
I'm heading over to Germany for a week or more of this one, can't front on Portugal, we got the coach who won it last time, and the most technically skilled team in Europe. Brazil is our peoples, we taught 'em haha!
Pretty ill that Siccness folks got a lotta rep in Group D, mayne it's all love on that one, but even so Portugal should do the biz on Mexico and Iran, and as for Angola, like Brazil they Portuguese folks too so that's just a fiesta there.
I watch a lot of football over here, travel and see a lot of games, and I got a decent stack on this tournament too because there are some genuinely good contenders beyond Brazil, and some nice bets too.
The group with Argentina, Holland and Ivory Coast is heavy as fuck, Ivory Coast is the strongest African team out there by far so that group could get messy. Double up on either Argentina or Holland going home early.
I was looking at Holland like they could win, they've got good young players, but they've had some injuries and one bitch of a group. Italy is always a solid pick, and I ain't going to lie but Portugal is an obvious dark horse too.
Other picks worth mentioning... Ukraine with Shevchenko could be a surprise, may even win their group over Spain and then run with it. But the one I'm really looking at right now for a late bet is France.
That's a real downlow bet right there, no one is saying anything about them anymore, but I look at their team and its quality, it has World Cup winners in it, their group is easy, its close to home and they want to make up for 2002.
Finally, gotta speak on my English people, I'm heading out there with a bunch of 'em and even I can sense something about to happen. I've been around these fools too much to know when it's real or not. It's real this time.
Normally they all know it's hope not belief, this time they really do have one of the strongest teams and a lot of things are falling into place for them. I got the equivalent of $200 on them to win it.

ps....... this is all obviously assuming Brazil don't switch it up - as the old saying goes, South American teams don't win on European soil. It's going to be a sick 31 days.
