THE BANDWAGON!!!

 

GUIDE TO THE WORLD CUP!!!

 

As you all know, the World Cup is coming this summer, and it’s being held in Japan and Korea! To help you out the Bandwagon has created a guide to all the teams in the tournament so that you can just enjoy the soccer!

 

GROUP A

 

FRANCE: The World Champions. Nuff said!!!

 

DENMARK: Small country, very cold. But with Schamichael in goal, anything can happen!!!

 

URUGUAY: Hehehe, U R GAY! This African country has never even been in the World Cup before!!!

 

SENEGAL: I mean, who are these!!! I think Pele plays for these. They’ll definitely get beaten 8-0 every day!!!

 

GROUP B

 

PARAGUAY: Similar to Uruguay. This one has the goalie that runs outside the six yard box sometimes!!!

 

SOUTH AFRICA: Often overlooked due to their rivals North Africa. But they have Nelson Mandela up front, and they aren’t too bad!!!

 

SPAIN: Spain is home to the best clubs in the world. (Apart from my favourite Man United!!!) So, they have world class players such as Kluivert, Saviola and McManaman playing for them. They could win!!!

 

SLOVENIA: Changed the name from Yugoslavia recently. With ex Aston Villa player Slobadan Milosevic up front, they might do well!!!

 

GROUP 3

 

BRAZIL: Over rated!!! They can’t even pass! Everyone says their the best team in history! There rubbish!!!

 

TURKEY: Apparantly, one of the players shot a Leeds fan. Their a bit dodgy!!!

 

CHINA: They have players called Lee Kwid Poo and Foo Kem Yung!!! Or so my dad says.

 

COSTA RICA: I went on holiday here once, and some blokes were playing soccer on the beach. They didn’t seem too bad!!!

 

GROUP D

 

SOUTH KOREA: Hosts of the World Cup. But what do they know about soccer!!! They even eat dogs!!!

 

POLAND: Never even qualified before!!! They’ll get beaten all the time!!!

 

USA: Big soccer playing country, apart from the ones who play rounders and rugby in silly clothes! I hope they win, especially if they give me free McDonalds!!!

 

PORTUGAL: England beat these in Euro 2000, so they should be easy for the USA to beat!!!

 

GROUP E

 

REPUBLIC OF IRELAND: Team full of Englishmen!!! Half of them have never even been to Belfast!!!

 

CAMEROON: These have got the player with the big afro!!! How does he head the ball!!!

 

GERMANY: I hate these!!! Good job we beat them 5-0!!! They bombed our chip shop!!! But with Klinnsman in the team, you never know what might happen.

 

SAUDI ARABIA: I don’t know how they manage to play with tea towels on their heads!!! (LOL!)

 

GROUP F

 

ENGLAND: We’ll definitely win this group. Unless it goes to penalty shootouts!!! Hope David Batty doesn’t take one!!!

 

SWEDEN: Sven’s team!!! I heard that all their players have got a red streak in their hair!!!

 

ARGENTINA: I think these will win the World Cup because they have the best Man United player, Veron. Hope Maradonna looses weight before the cup starts!!!

 

NIGERIA: They have a racist name, and their a rubbish team!!! They’ll get beaten every week!!!

 

GROUP G

 

CROATIA: One of the first winners of the World Cup and they’ve been good ever since. Outside chance for the trophy!!!

 

MEXICO: These have some great players like Raul, Hierro and Guardiola. And they have cool hats!!!

 

ITALY: Watch out for young gun Roberto Baggio. The manager Luciano Pavarotti might just pick him!!!

 

ECUADOR: A vastly improved team. Twenty years ago, they needed Bob Geldof to sing for them to stop the famine, now there in the World Cup!!!

 

GROUP H

 

JAPAN: Gary Lineker used to play for these before he became a comedian on They Think It’s All Over. By the way, that’s a stupid name for a programme. Why is it called that?

 

BELGIUM: Winners of Euro 2000 and a very good side. Could go all the way!!!

 

RUSSIA: Communist country!!! Stay clear!!! Seriously, they have a good team, with Stalin in the centre of defence.

 

TUNISIA: They’ve got a player called Salami!!! LOL!!!

 

So there you have it. That’s who I think will win the World Cup. Maybe in the next World Cup, I’ll be old enough to stay up and watch it!!!
