holland, england and spain should appear as group champions.. unless something significant happen.

i predict france to stun doubters with a strong finish too.

the 1st match hard to predict, but i bank on home advantage

Dont know bout u guys, but spain did well tonite, although chile tried to press them back with lots of possession n attack play, but still, a spain win.

They took their chances well (villa in particular), chile was not threatening in 2nd half with 1 man down, and was very lucky to get a deflected goal early on.

Game on.

villa very very deadly indeed.

and for those not believing bookie's involvement, too bad. not to say every player is involved, but SOME match officials and SOME players get 'incentives' for manipulating a game. especially less known leagues in the world.
