Holland did not make it out of their grouping.

Rep. Ire. and Bel made it out of that group.

As for winner.

May St. George's cross be raised high.

You may notice that the picks list is missing a few powerful teams

I think Poland has a shot. They are a very exciting team to watch.

I am looking forward to the 2nd Round match between France and the second place team for the pool of death. Which i hope is Argentina. Not England.

Either way I have every morning off work when there is a game on.

They are on at 02h30 05h30 and 07h30 so I will adjust my schedule accordingly.

I don't get it. Argentina will win, but it is not in your poll !

Actully, I think Shumacher will win it, it is all fixed.

Actually, I got the list from the Coach interviews from World Soccer magazine that is hosted on CNN.

Even though everybody likes the big leagues, face it, the harder they come, the harder they fall.

Who knows, if the "Les Bleus" lose, france might go with a French team instead of an Allstar European team! No offense intended.

England to win.... if Beckham's foot gets better in time and Michael Owen doesn't go down injured.

This is a real WORLD Championship. I have a good laff when NBA, NFL or MLB players say they have won the "World Championship". Hah! Easy to be world champ when you are the only country playing.

Go England!!
