Agree, Tunisia aint in there best form, Saudi NT aint exactly decent. Ukraine to top the group with Spain coming second.

What i know for sure is that we have a better chance of going through than your team. Thats good enough for me

 

[Rami]

I think your group is more balanced.

Hopefully the boys will erase the bad image of 2002.

[PhRoZeN]

Nop I cant seem to find him.. I guess its to do with the leagues.

 

[Rami]

It depends on how extensive you chose your database to be....When I play I usually choose Saudi Arabia to be detailed.

 

[salman]

i think ukraine could be the dark horses of the tournament.if shevchenko fires,they could cause some upsets and i wont be too surprised if they pip the notoriously underperforming spanish to the first spot in the group.it all depends on shevchenko.
