if italy wins and argentina wins they can not meet until the final read the bracket better dude before talking…argentina-brazil is a semifinal almost set in stone…..italy-holland is the other probable one..

no, im picking them first and they play italy in the semifinals if italy wins the group. That is reasonable. I watched the Argentina game in its entirety and messi just dominated. a goal and an assist against a strong ivory coast squad.

you’re picking argentina to finish second in their group? with messi? as you should have noted messi IS BETTER than giovinco is what i said. if giovinco had gotten the experience of messi they would be at the same level. you see the goal against honduras?

u have to be kidding me, giovinco is no where near messi. Messi is third best in the world as illustrated by the fact that he was third for fifa world player of the year behind kaka, and ronaldo. if that’s the case, you’ll make it to the semifinals where you will play argentina and lose.

he is american as i am max! born by chance! and talking about importing talent you shouldnt be saying anything since adu is 100% african. giovinco and rossi arent the best in the world (not even in italy)! and ronaldinho and messi arent either! i would say kaka and mr. torres are! seedorf is better than ronaldinho and milan will pay for trying to replace him. messi and giovinco are comparable but messi is better now because of more experience. giovinco is juve’s next del piero (who was the best forward). italy will not face brazil in the 1st round! we’ll win our group. and play a lesser team and make it to the final not meeting the south americans until then.

i think italy will make it out of the group stages, but will lose to a really strong, really good brazil team. That’s reasonable. Italy is a strong team, but rossi and giovinco are not anywhere near messi, or even ronaldinho. Those guys are dynamic, can’t be dispossesed and are the best players in the world, are giovinco and rossi the best in the world. If your answer is yes, you are unrealistic. Messi is a superstar, Rossi isn’t yet, but he could be. Remember that he’s an American, you can thank us.

i think you americans are really underestimating Italy. Giovinco and Rossi are probably just as good as Messi and Ronaldihno (considering his poor form) and our defense is solid as always. we just manhandled honduras 3-0 who btw beat team USA in the final. Italy-Brazil final with italy beating brazil as revenge for 94. brazil is the best but they will beat themselves. Argentina is also very strong
