This group is called the group of death with:
Argentina
Ivory Coast
Servia & Montenegro
Netherlands

Who will proceed..
Me as a Dutchman really don't have a clue..
Servia just conceded 1 goal in the entire qualification, Ivory Coast looks really strong with players like Drogba, Eboue, Kalou and Toure.
Argentina is favorite with all great players.
And Holland is not what it used to be with players but the teamspirit is stronger then ever

I think it will be

1. Argentina
2. Holland
3. Servia&Montengro
4. Ivory Coast

Though this will be the toughest and most exciting poule there is.
What do you think?

Very tough group indeed.

But the two class acts of the group are Holland and Argentina.

Not much has been said about Holland in this country, I think that this could be a special year as most years there is major unrest in the squad.

However, Serb&Mont and Ivory Coast have very under-rated teams [esp Serb&Mont]. It will be be difficult to qualify but I still think that the two favourites will.

On another note, the two that qualify from this group will have a relatively easy game against group D opponents in the next round.

You have a better chance than u give yourself credit for your qualifying was excellent.

This is a VERY tough group the team that doesn't start to play well straight away could crash out. Argentina and Holland must avoid slip ups against the Ivory Coast and Serbia&Montenegro.

For me it will be like this:

1.Holland
2.Ivory Coast
3.Argentina
4.Serba&Montenegro

[Stiles]

I agree with Group of Death and i totally agree with Joe Schmo.

1. Argentina
2. Holland
3. Serbia & Montengro
4. Ivory Coast

Just further proofs my theory that the Argies will win.

It really wasn't that good..
Yeah we beat the Czech Republic and Romania both 2 times but the defence gave away way to many chances. And we did draw Macedonia 2 times which isn't the best there is. Though attacking we might be the best in Europe but i don't think the defence will do any good against Argentina or other awesome attacking teams

I don't think its that bad and attack is the best form of defence

U got

Van der Sar of MAN UTD
Van Bronckhurst of Barcelona
Kromkamp of Liverpool
Ooijer of PSV

I don't know much about the others though

What has happened to Kevin Hofland is he injured or just left out by Van Basten?

[beartons]

1/holland
2/Argentina
3/Serbia&montenegro
4/Ivory coast
Holland to sneak the group,Argentina to qualify,serbia&montenegro to mount a challenge and give every team a hard game!
Ivory's to give a good account of themselves,but one draw is the best they can get!!

Holland and Argentina are certs for this group mate.

I wish you every success beating the cheating, diving shameful 'footballers' from South America

yeah thanks lol..
I heard Sneijder, Van Bronckhorst, Van der Vaart and Cocu are recovering from injuries else Marco van Basten was willing to take Schaars, Hofs and De Zeeuw from the under 21 squad..

Schaars, Hofs and De Zeeuw are off course soooooo much better then Davids and Seedorf

lol!

But without Davids and Seedorf the squad seems to be more relaxed. In previous tournaments they have been the ones to start trouble at the camp with complaining to the press etc.

The squad that Van Basten has picked has been excellent in qualifying and I think will have their best WC in years - without Davids and Seedorf.

Your right, but i don't think you can beat the big teams with players like Schaars, Nigel de Jong etc..

But i guess we'll manage since even our reserves won over Mexico 1-2

But I can't see these players getting a game. Maybe Van Basten is only bringing them along for experience too - a bit like Walcott for England.

I hope that you do well, I really do. It has been too long since Holland have shown the quality that they have.
