Yes, but the less the better. We were lucky getting Ecuador to the quarters. But consider: Italy. Play Australia and then the Switzerland/Ukraine winner. Would only have to play two top teams: Argentina/Germany in the semis and Brasil/England/Holland in the final. Spain. Must play four games against "top" teams: France, Brasil, England/Holland/Portugal and then Argentina/Germany/Italy. Whose position whould you prefer? Fair enough JTS, good point. You get more credit and are a more worthy winner if your route to the final is tough, then you've really earnt it. But then again, if we had 'easy' teams right up until the final I wouldn't be downhearted. If we don't get easier teams we won't get near the final. ![:(](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/sad.png) But Portugal, then a flukey Spain or France or a Brasil still playing the gigantico, and we're in the final.

Very clever by Figo, at least according to the Maradona school.

Then all we'd have to do is win it...I forsee a Rooney hat-trick, first goal being a header, his second being a dubious 'was it over the line or wasn't it' and his 3rd being a screamer from 20 yards. I think thats what is called optimism ;D

But can you imagine if an unknown, Crouch/Hurst, was preferred over the superstar, Rooney/Greaves.

There are a few eastern sort of european refs about in this WC, dunno if they already know who is officiating the final tho. lol if Crouch was picked over Rooney for the WC Sven would be tortured! BYE BYE DECO! ;D

This is a farce. I've never seen anything like this. Refs are too strict now, it's gone to the other extreme, what shite, where's the consistancy?? Bring back Collina with the eyeballs! Kuyt, you are shite!

If I was Dutch, I would be very aggrieved with this game. The ref has ruined it. If Portugal were to lose, they would have the same complaint.
