This time is different than in Japan/Corea. The favourite teams are strong. In 02 the Netherlands did not participate and Argentina & France were out after the first round.
This should be good for the quality of the final rounds.
One argentinean shouldn't feel too happy today: the argentinian coach of Mexico who did exclude Cuautemoc Blanco.
Yesterday there were really lots of mexican fans here in Hannover. Begging to pay for tickets in the most unexpected places. Last year they won in Confederation Cup against Brazil and yesterday this poor performance
