The Dutch draw with the Socceroos. More worries for them as Cocu and Sneijder are injured. Cahill comes back from injury for the Aussies and scores too!

Spain struggle and can't score against Russia. Aragones is going to end up a fool for having neglected Morientes and taking just 3 strikers, out of which 2 are inexperienced at the highest level and one is so out of form!

Rosicky and Nedved did not play this game but they both need to be in their best form if Czech can dream of getting past the 2nd round. Latest news: Smicer is ruled out.

Italy going 4-4-3? Totti and Del Piero starting? Lippi trying out new things but they have to do much better than a draw against the Swiss.

I don't know if its Mexico and Denmark's goof-ups or France's resurgence. Mexico also lost to Holland. So it must be the former.
They are in an easier group and should finish as runners-up in the group. Zidane is a shadow of his former hero.
Trez should find his scoring boots. Saha is a worthy replacement. But Henry has to step up. All the world is waiting to see his club form transfer to the international stage.
Henry will be followed closely esp. after his good show in Europe.
Mexico is struggling a bit although it shd qualify in an easy group. but i think mexico might fail to do that if iran pull off a surprise.

It's difficult to see Iran to upset the group, especially they've haven't done well in past WCs and recent Asian competitions.
Mexico should qualify, with Borgetti in attack and Marquez in defence. And other than Portugal, neither Iran nor Angola poses any great threats to them.
Upsets are hard to come by. But they do come by! So not everything is impossible.
France are weaker than they should, with Henry inconsistent in attack. But I tip him as a star to see in the coming WC.

@Soccerguy
I am sure at least one of the unfacied teams is gonna create a big upset...and have a niggling feeling that Iran is well placed to do that.
I have this feelings too... but not with Iran. Better choices like Australia and maybe Togo, because their groups can be very unpredictable.
@Soccerguy
I am sure Australia will go to the 2nd round...!
The most predictable unpredictable group is the group of death. And yes, Italy's group can throw some surprises with two of the top 5 teams there along with Italy.
