Czechs worry about, US, er only maybe. I almost feel sorry for Côte d'Ivoir and Serbia & Montenegro. Argentina and Netherlands, ouch. Australia can progress and do well IF the players actually play near the top of their game.

GO the aussies.

Lets face it we have bucklies of winning anything, but you never know and it will be great to watch us go against the rest.

I'm so excited about this world cup. Go Italy and Go Australia. If they played against each other, I wouldn't know who to back.

The US is similiar to Australia though, their players are now expanding and playing in the top domestic competitions around the world. That diversity and experience could see them go along way if the team clicks as a unit.

A number of the US players wouldn't even get into the Aussie side.

I wouldn't underestimate the US. They are highly underrated. They've been embracing football as a minority sport (behind the usual basketball, baseball, gridiron, etc.) for a lot longer than we have now and actually have a 1/2 decent domestic league. I would say they are certainly a better team than Australia, but how much better remains a mystery.

US are not a better team than Australia, they are a very good team (just look how well they went last time) for a country were soccer is a minority game but everyone seems to be under estimating how well Australia can play on a good day (and how poorly they can play on an off day)
Brazil are football gods, but even gods can be brought down.....

Yes Brazil will be tough but it will be great to see our boys go up against the worlds best even if we don't make it through, saying that I still think we have a good chance if they play to there potential there is no reason they can't be runner up in our group
