Nacktman, I think you have don a very good job in the selection process. However, I think that Italy will perhaps sneak in over the Republic. This is the only one I have problem with. I want you to know I have the same in all cases with that one exception.
I plan one taking Friday off and spending it at the Celtic Pub, San Francisco. We will be crying all morning about our team not making ito the Cup. But it will be fun.
All the best

FCMII, I didn't go with Italy because of the turmoil there over the national football program that FIFA wants to go away and go away fast.
FIFA is pushing for the investigation to end before the Cup games start ... I don't see that happening.
With that as a distraction Italy may well falter so I gave the nod to the Chechs and I didn't go with the upset because of it either.Comment

UK Naturists will stage their own FIFA Naked World Cup this weekend.
Nudist fans will strip everything off to watch the England v Paraguay clash then put on their own tournament.
Supporters of both sexes have arranged a mixed game. The event is expected to attract fans from across the country to Throckley Newcastle on Saturday 10 June 2006.
Mike Daly 51 of Tynedale and Newcastle District Outdoor Club said: "Everyone will be the same flesh colour so it might be difficult to tell the teams apart. But that's part of the fun."Comment

As I said previously in the Sports thread, I am going for Brazil all the way.
The US is rated as 5th in the world. I think that is too high.
