Discuss, who is going to win, which team is going to surprise?

Also, is there some good coders who could make a same kind of game like WC10 predictions for 2010 football WC? Would be cool but you would need to be fast:P

we have a great team this year, but I'm not expecting too much.
as for upsets, I always liked Switzerland, haven't seen their roster but I'm sure they could pull an upset in the groupstage at least.
Tbh you have way more shit team now, at least imo :s
Parent
surely you're sarcastic? :p
only player I'm really missing from last year is Berglund.

Zetterberg, Franzen, Loui Eriksson, Alfredsson, Stålberg, Raw talent like Landeskog, Silfverberg. Combine that with a D corp containing Erik Karlsson (!) Hjalmarsson, Hedman, S. & N. Kronwall, Ericsson etc. Hardly "way more shit". Only thing that looks weak on paper are the goalies imo.

pääjärvi?
Parent
he has been under performing big-time in edmonton :p
Parent
He for sure was the most important player from Sweden last year! (2011 WC) :)
Dunno how has he performed now tho :o Im quite dissapointed after watching fin-belarus as it was one of the most boring games for ages. How did swe vs norway end?
Parent
6 defeats in a row :)
Parent
Yeah, with their B-team:S
Parent
