Shock First Round Exit
Which of the group favourites do you think is most likely to bow out early and return home in disgrace?
Argentina for me unless Messi is at full fitness and has a brilliant world cup. Serbia & Montenegro are solid defensively and physically intimidating, Ivory Coast are the best African side at the cup and the Dutch have a solid base with attacking flair to worry Argentina's questionable defence. Then there is the whole European WC angle. |

I've got Ivory Coast beating Argentina to go through to the 2nd Round
 Also, perhaps Czech Republic missing out to Ghana.

Either Italy for Argentina for me... The Czechs are the smokies and i think Italy could get a shock from the US.. And Argentina have a very very tough group and it would not surprise me at all to see them go out straight up...

Italy for me, i think all of these 8 sides will get through though...
Of all the teams most people expect to make it through i can see Poland missing out from Group A, with Costa Rica surpising many and making it to the round of 16. |
