    Love that guy? I’m confused AW; that is what you meant, right?!

    Hehe, didn’t follow much of the qualifications but I’ll hop on the NZ bandwagon. If those guys can play soccer like they play rugby, it could be an interesting tourney!

    I will suck to not see a team such as Italy compete on the biggest stage in the world. They have no goal scorers, which is the reason why they never scored against the Swedes. Defense, midfield, and keeper are great, but strikers are left to be desired. I also think Ventura is to blame for his tactics(or lack there of.)

    Would have been a good year for Canada to qualify...sigh.
