世界杯32强

All 32 teams for the final stage of 2006 Germany World Cup are out!!! SOUTH AMERICA: Argentina: Riquelme is super, but not Maradona yet! Their defensive line is so rich of experience, but can those old guys handle a whole tournament? Brazil: Will they put all 5 attackers to the front? They have never done so, and NOBODY has ever done so! Ecuador: Don't forget they beat Argentina and Brazil in the qualifiers. Ranked #3 in South America itself means something. Paraguay: No matter how you see Santa Cruz, don't forget they also have Cardozo! They might look like your local Mexican food delivery guys, but when they show up in front of your goal in no time, they are not here to deliver tacos! NORTH, CENTRAL AMERICA AND CARIBBEAN: USA: Stop laughing at them for confusing football with football. They are serious ballers and heading for quarter-finals this time. Mexico: They are apparently going downhill. The only reason they are here is because they are in the 2nd weakest qualifying zones. Costa Rico: See how they took care of China a few months ago in China? Yeah, they will make some noise, but just a little. Trinidad: Trinidad and Tobago made Asian teams look like a bunch of jokes after beating that d*mn mid-east small country's team at home. But don't expect them to do more. After all, it's FIFA, not AFA. OCEANIA: Australia: How many players do they have in England, Ireland and Scotland? More than 200!!! Do we need to say anything else? AFRICA: Angola: I thought they only know how to play basketball. Now, they can get more than 5 people? Cote d'Ivoire: Where the heck is this country? African teams can always surprise you, even with their nations' names. Togo: They are like the China in Asia: have the chance to come in, but always fail at the last step. But, every family can have a holiday, right? Ghana: The real hope of Africa. Their youngsters are old enough to give the world some real threats. But will it just be another Nigeria? Tunisia: Sleep enough before watching their games, just in case you won't fall in sleep in the middle. EUROPE: Germany: It's so lucky that they are the host country; Otherwise, today might have been the darkest day in German soccer's history after they got beaten by Turkish by 1:4 (fiction). Ukraine: Be careful with the nuclear warhead!!! What? They only have one? Netherlands: Will 2006 be Roben's year? Doesn't matter. Holland would just continue its tradition to be the test team for the final champion: who beats Holland would be the champion! Poland: They were not in Euro 2004, but who cares! They have Dudek! And, who got the champion cup on Euro 2004? England: My FAVORITE!!! But, how are they going to use Gerrard? Still LMF? nah… Croatia: They can play the best soccer, just like the Brazilians, but they would never get in even the quarter finals! Why? They can't handle tough challenges. Italy: They will always have the best jersey on the field and their eyes are always the most attractive ones, but this is soccer. Portugal: Junior Junior R!!! Period. Sweden: European Head Team! I would love to watch them play England if possible. Who is tougher, eh??? Serbia: There will be so many "vic"s that you need to remember after next summer! They are the potential trouble-maker to the existing world rules! France: 4 years ago, they were so embarrassing because their record is like China's. But now, Zidane, the best mid-fielder in today's world, is back!!! Switzerland: It's a shame for them to be here! It should be Turkey's seat!!! Spain: You always think they are the competitor to the final championship, but they don't have the nuts to take that trophy! Czech: Remember Euro 2004? If so, be careful! ASIA: (can we skip it?) Japan: Very skilled players and very Brazilian! But, some disadvantage they are born with: the legs are too short. Iran: If Asian soccer has any hope next year, it would be on Iranians' shoulders. Korea: Sorry, referees, it's not in Korea again! Saudi Arabia: What if we can play soccer on the back of camel?
