confident that Croatia can get out of their group.]

Just because Germany is the best doesn't mean they're undeserving.

I hope France can improve. While I think Switzerland might have done enough to
even warrant getting 3 points from that match, it's worrying to see players like
Henry not performing.

I'll pay ten bucks to any team that takes France out of the cup. It's one less team I see seeded ahead of Germany. And there are 13 teams too many in front. Germany is seeded 19th.

SSNeo: I was messin around. I know they're not the best, but they have a shot and being my team, I have to support them no matter what.

Bastian Schweinsteiger
Michael Ballack
Phillipp Lahm

Henry and Zadane are overated.

If you see what Henry can do for his club, you might reconsider - unfortunately the
team just doesn't seem to be there to support him at a national level, at least from
what I've seen.

There are separate teams for each of the UK home nations. They would never
play together.

Hm. Henry? As in, Thierry Henry?
