Ivory Coast seems like the only one that could possibly put a dent into Holland or Argentina

I saw Mexico play Ghana and they were nothing special no good passing they arent organized at all

ghana could be a suprise though, it really depends on how they manage to play the teams your against, if they kill the match off then they could do it but they probably wont have more possession or control of the ball but it's what you do with it when you do.

remember greece who defended every match for 90 mins and surged a counter-attack in the end to win it?

Don't let that Mexico game fool you deviantmexa, Ghana has a pretty good team and should do much better at the world cup.

Tunisia should make the second round, they are a good team and have a favorable group. Cote d' Ivoire's just unlucky to be in such a tough group but i'm picking one of Argentina & Holland not to make the second round, so watch out!

Ivory Coast were excellent at the Africa Nations Cup earlier this year, am expecting them to give Argentina and Holland a hard time.
Who knows, they might even finish their World Cup group in 2nd place.

Tunisia are another team who I think will do well at the World Cup.

I AGREE Tunisia AND Ivory Coast MAY BE DO SOMETHING . ESPECIALLY Ivory Coast HAS GOOD PLAYERS AND WELL ORGANIZED BUT IN FRONT OF ARGENTINA AND NETHERLAND THEY GOT A BAD LUCK WITH THE ARRANGMENT OF THE GROUP . HOPE AFRICAN TEAMS . PRESENTING THIER COUNTRIES VERY WELL

the side is potent when they are organized and hungry. they'll give any team a hard time and if they win or draw their first match, expect them to compete ferociously for a place in the second round.

muntari, appiah and essien will ignite team...but there's a lot of hidden talent

Sorry guys, I just don't see Ghana making it out of the group stage.
I figure they'll lose to Italy and at best draw Czech Republic and/or United States - they will lose one of those matches.
So I see them 0-2-1.

Angola is in a much worse state (I think Angola is in Africa - sorry I'm American and the rest of the world doesn't matter to us :rolleyes: ).
I see them dropping all three games, losing to Mexico, Iran, and Portugal (at BEST they draw Iran, but I doubt it).

I wouldn't at all be surprised to see the Ivory Coast come thru the group stage as the #2 spot (upsetting Netherlands, most likely).
I think they'll lose to Argentina, for sure beat Serbia and Montenegro, and maybe upset Netherlands.

I'd LOVE to see Togo advance. You have to figure France will get out and then most likely Korea, but it'd be great to see Adebayor and crew upset that.
Loss to France, beat Switzerland, and I'm going to go on a limb and say beat Korea to advance!

I think Tunisia probably has the softest group of them all. I really am not sure about their chances, though. I figure they're the weakest team in their group (Spain, Ukraine, Saudi Arabia), but I don't really know enough about them to have an educated opinion.

Just my thoughts, it should be an interesting year of African football, considering the next World Cup will be held in South Africa.:)

Ha-ha. Well I guess you are no prophet. But thats OK. Hind-sight is 20-20. Did you pick US to advance? LOL (louder)


Angola is in a much worse state (I think Angola is in Africa - sorry I'm American and the rest of the world doesn't matter to us :rolleyes: ).

DUde. wtf? Who is "us"? It's saying things like that that make people think Americans are all "arrogant".
A quick search would have set you straight. Haven't you heard of google?

Wrong. And you show your ignorance and arrogance.
