I repeat though, the south african version is very noticeable for it's own original (and very annoying :lol:) sound.


as far as i know the vuvuzela is not easy to play, right?

completely agree with u...
maybe when he made the picks he was sniffing cocaine :?


or maybe remembering when he scored the best goal in the history of the world cups...just saying...

I think anyone can't argue what Maradona was as a soccer player.. but I believe is different to be a player than to be a coach.. and he doesn't got it..

With no disrespect the day Maradona is stop seeing as a God.. or try to find "the next maradona" Argentina is gonna have good results again cause have amazing players...

of course, i know he hasnt been the best person in the world, ironically, i mean he really messed up his life..or "se le escapó la tortuga" as he said once...

and as a coach for god's sake, i hope we do well cause we have excellent players in every position of the field and have the two top scorers of the spanish league (one is one of, if not the best player in the world), di maría is playing excellent, mascherano, veron, samuel in the defense...but saying that you want to defend with 4 center backs is ridiculous, i hope it works anyways but anyone with a little understanding of football knows you need a good back wing to be able to surprise in your attacks, which is what dani alves does in barcelona with messi for example...

i thought the same, anyways he probably wouldn't have used zanetti because he wants to play with 4 central backs in the defense so he wouldnt be able to play...

another one which hasn't been mentioned a lot which should've gone much more than cambiasso and zanetti, is gago...hes been playing a lot in real madrid, unlike bolatti (not even mention mercier which i think is not up for the circumstances)..and he once played really well along with mascherano, and has experience.....

... :(

Hey!Argentina can easily be considered in top3 favorites for this WC!
Can you tell me the 4 def you're thinking about?
Isn't it (from right to left) : Burdisso-Samuel-Demichelis-Heinze?
To me Heinze is a lefty specialist (even if he's less quick than before,he was playing there at the end with Marseille and he was good!)
And with Samuel-Demichelis you have a very strong central def my friend!(both in champion's league final!) :shock:
I don't know Burdisso a lot...
And for Zanetti...isn't he 77 years old? :P (i guess Mardona wanted some frsh legs)
I agree with you guys about Gago...This guy deserved to be in the 23,or at least in the 30!Who took his place?Don't tell me it's Veron!That old witch!
And i don't talk about Cambiasso...This guy should be #1 at his position...

It's a shame we won't see Benzema in the World Cup... Is he such a bad guy off the field?

I voted for Spain. They have the big stars who can actually play together as a team with exciting football.

Honestly,Benzema didn't prove anything yet...Except a beautiful goal he scored against ManU...And he comes out of a poor season (Very bad choice to go to Madrid) So to me it's not a big shock...

Honestly?I think so...Talented,but brainless and veeeery cocky!!!

It's more a big shock to me not to have Nasri...
Maybe they both pay bad attitude at an old meeting where they both disrespect the elders...etc...

i heared BENZAMA change next saison from real madrid to manchester united !!

I think its a big mistake from domeche not to take BENZAMA and NASRI to the worldcup -

freance have not much player from this quality -


about argentina - i think maradona make the right way - today you need a strong defense to have a chance to win WC.

its like in basketball
offense wins matches and defense wins championships!!

England team:-

Goalkeepers: Joe Hart, David James, Robert Green.

Defenders: Leighton Baines, Jamie Carragher, Ashley Cole, Michael Dawson, Rio Ferdinand, Glen Johnson, Ledley King, John Terry, Matthew Upson, Stephen Warnock.

Midfielders: Gareth Barry, Michael Carrick, Joe Cole, Steven Gerrard, Tom Huddlestone, Adam Johnson, Frank Lampard, Aaron Lennon, James Milner, Scott Parker, Theo Walcott, Shaun Wright-Phillips.

Forwards: Darren Bent, Peter Crouch, Jermain Defoe, Emile Heskey, Wayne Rooney.

Not enough depth in thegoal, forwards or defence to be honest, manly the same old duffers who lost the last world cup. Best player is rooney by far.

Our coach said 2 days a go that England is his favorite to win the World Cup, and i kinda agree with him, very strong team.
