Who will make the semi finals?

[whore]

I think the last four teams will be Brazil, France, Argentina and Germany. But my heart says North Korea all the way.

It will be very interesting to see how far France goes this time. After the jnr sports Minister dissed them for their 500 euro hotel rooms, only to be slapped down by her snr Minister tellling her that FIFA was paying and that we need to shut up and support 'Les Bleus'... and Domenech is the butt of so many jokes in France now it's not funny.. like : 'Yes, france will be the first...the first to leave..."

If they do well, it might even be embarrassing

(guydesavoy @ Jun. 07 2010,21:21) Maybe Paccie will billet them out

Sure if it helps them to get away from their "Dear Leader" -  Kim Jong-il.

With their military style training regime, North Korea will be one of the fittest teams playing but with their inclusion in the Group of Death, they are up against Brazil, Portugal & the Ivory Coast, their prospects are not great.

They will get a few supporting them though -

China has promised to support its long-time ally by sending 1,000 of its own citizens, including musicians and actors, to cheer for the North Koreans.

Here's the team in happier times. They must have scored.

I think that picture was taken in a scoreless draw against Saudi Arabia.

There is some many reasons why North Korea could have a good run. The players familes could be in labour camps only to be set free if the team do well. The players could have a firing squad waiting for them is they dont have a good run in the tournament. Now thats motivation people. The most likely reason is the FACT that all the North Korean players were born in the same month of the same year, which coincides with a visit Brazil legend made to North Korea. I smell test tube babies and we all know that Pele fella would do anything for a few quid.

I wouldnt even be surprised if that 3-1 defeat to Nigeria was faked so they could get better odds at the bookies. Kim Jung Ill probably has a fortune on them to win it at 2000/1 and when they do win, he will buy South Korea a new boat.

Before consulting the draw I said England, Germany, Italy and Spain.

If Italy and Spain finish on top of their group and win their second round match they will meet in the quarter final. Therefore my next choice is Argentina.
