starting a WC qualifier...

[GR8NESS]

On FIFA World Cup 2006, like i posted on FZ (more soccer fans here)...who should I pick? No North American teams is all I ask. I'd like it to be a little bit of an unorthodox choice (no brazil, italy, etc.)..

[TexasFight]

Just because I am not a soccer fan doesn't mean I didn't like soccer at one time..

go with Germany it's avalible.

[TexasFight]

Another team that's good is Aregentina.

[RedNekTiger]

And the Argentines have the Hand of God.

[TexasFight]

what's the team with Christiano Ronaldo on it?

[GR8NESS]

Portugal.

[TexasFight]

use them, they are awesome, Christiano Ronaldo kicks ***.

[TexasFight]

btw, I watched the World cup this past year, I just can't stand MLS.

For a "non-soccer fan" you sure know a pretty good bit. ;)

[TexasFight]

Like I said, I watched the world cup this past year, and plan on watching it in 2010.

Glad to see you admit to being a soccer fan now. Admitting you have a problem is the first step on the path to recovery.

[TexasFight]

LOL, I follow it casually. I need help, can you help me GDawg? lol

[GR8NESS]

The MLS is horrible. Euro soccer and the big tournaments/national teams are what I watch. Don't watch the MLS unless there's nothing else on.

[TexasFight]

I liked the World cup, but the MLS sucks.

[RedNekTiger]

I go to Dynamo games a couple times a year. Pretty good entertainment in person.

[GR8NESS]

But you have to drive five hours from here (Columbus) to get to an MLS team.

Not worth it.

I like how your only suggestions so far have been top teams...

How about Trinidad and Tobago? Ghana? Ukraine? Pakistan? Angola? Serbia & Montenegro? Australia?

[GR8NESS]

Angola...that's a good one. I thought about maybe Scotland too.

[GatorTD8to10]

Pakistan could be fun considering they are the worst ranked team in the game, IIRC.

[GR8NESS]

Yeah, that'd be an interesting one too. They are the worst ranked.

[SCfan804]

I can probably help here. Give the Ukraine a try- not very good overall, but you do get Andriy Shevchenko at your disposal. They also have one other guy who's pretty good.

A couple other suggestions off the top of my head that are competitive without being extremely good:
Sweden: Henrik Larsson of Barcelona and Freddy Ljungberg of Arsenal
Ghana: Michael Essien

[SECgamecock453]

Ireland
Wales
Scotland
Denmark
Norway

[GR8NESS]

Ooooooooooooh Denmark
