Hybrid-san was just talking about Asian racism and neither Japan nor Korea is mentioned in this poll. Not even Asia nor Africa is offered as an option (although Americas and Europe is). Do I detect a hint of white centric racism in this poll.
And I thought I was the King of Political Incorrectness....
It could definitely have been more inclusive of diverse global participants as there is and outside chances with the likes of japan, ivory coast and nigeria.I will put it down to internationalguy´s bias assesment of where potential winners are to come from than anything cynically racial.Hybrid-san was just talking about Asian racism and neither Japan nor Korea is mentioned in this poll.

You seemed to have tipped Ghana in front of Portugal; quite brave considering the season Cristiano Ronaldo is having. But then again its the group of death so anything can happen.I think if the USA even gets out of that group, it will be a miracle. They have some tough players, but with the exception of the goalie, the defense is horrible and the strikers are mediocre. I see Ghana and Germany escaping that group.
Call me crazy, but I think Messi is going to lead Argentina to at least the Final. He is going to come with a big chip on his shoulder, and as long as Argentina can get the ball at his feet near the goal, he's going to make plays. Of course the big question is the defense, I even think the midfield will come together before it's all said and done. Can Argentina score enough goals? They need to score early and often if they want to be champs.
I don't see Brazil winning it, but then again, they are the luckiest soccer team ever. They have some decent talent, but they aren't as talented as some of the other upper echelon teams like Germany.
I think maybe the surprise team this time will be England. They haven't done anything in so long that I think they might make it to the semis or something like that. They always have good talent, but just never seem to be able to put it together. Maybe this time they will make a good run. An Argentina England match might be a fun one to watch (although not for your Brits here in Argentina he!).
