this will be onto page 15 before the world cup begins....and although i'm contributing a bit to it...is the reason i don't get too pumped for this cup. Too many hockey fans all of the sudden ask me about soccer....not criticizing this forum or thread just a general observation around other forums and in my own real life....

i will say mexico drawing to iceland is rather meaningless since world class superstar (and Arsenal player :103631605) Vela wasn't there. But seriously neither was Blanco, Bravo etc etc etc....

Mexico has 8 friendlies before the WC..including England, Portugal, Italy, Netherlands... i don't think they cared very much about Iceland or DPR Korea. tell me how Mexico is doing after the italy match June 3rd.
I think the one match that Mexico has circled on their calendar right now is the game on June 9 vs. South Africa. Friendly's are all but meaningless to the players. I don't understand why people even look into them its ridiculous.

And I hear you about people asking about the World Cup. People are constantly asking me about the world cup, and just soccer in general for that matter. All my friends know I am a die hard soccer fan and watch as many games as i can each weekend (usually 3-4). Personally the world cup is my favourite soccer tournament, edging out Champions league as #1.

I am going to start posting my soccer picks up here for the last month or so of the seasons and the world cup.

going by the ELO rankings south africa is 81st in the world between Bahrian and Kuwait. So outside of being the host nation they really have no chance of winning their group. Mexico is 8th and U-R-GAY is 16th so not a lot of separation...but mexico have definitely been a better club recently.

I don't think i'd take france at those odds to win ... i am sure it is that high because people will see it at that price and bet it without thinking..you know the non-footy fans that bet World Cup just because it is a big event.

If you're between Bahrain and Kuwait in rankings you have a very slim chance of getting out of your group.
