Non-Starter Jokers
There were a couple of teams that have always served to just make an appearance at there world cup finals.Such teams as Saudi Arabia.

These guys come from region known for milking the ground for 'black gold'.If they could play as good football as they do the milking act,they'd be the kings of the world in terms this beautiful game.

....But not to be.The usually come to the pitch with every intention of heaping themselves at the goalmouth inorder not to embarass their King who usually watches their matches with nerves on edge.

Their main training technique includes pumping up their goalkeepers with a lot of cement-like material that should enable him to be a bit resistant to the pain inflicted by opponents shots and volleys which are usually coming endlessly.

The next thing the 'keeper has to do is to learn how to dive like a monkey for the ball.The training for this usually includes;taking him to the jungle to be trained by monkeys on that art!!

The end result usually is a team with an acrobatic 'keeper and a bunch of defenders!

Samba Time!
Yes!Brazil happens to be one country with such a rich tradition when it comes to the game called soccer.

These guys are so skillful when it comes to that game that crowds are always left in an awed state after that.

They always prepare for soccer from their youth,using a ball and alot of the samba dance.This is what is responsible for their colourful displays whenever they get to the pitch.

They actually plan to hit their opponents by displaying different styles of the Samba dance,such that their opponents let down their guard in the process,then the samba boys will make a swift move with the ball and score before their opponents recover.

This process is repeated several times according to the opponents susceptibility the goals will vary in amount due to this.

Spanish Matadors?

The spaniards were off the block like charging bulls and i only hope they don't run into some matadors who will waste their efforts.

In the past,spain has had the best teams on paper but they usually felt like such tourneys as world cup are an unnecessary so they usually made sure that they added the word mediocre to their nice football,such that they would never reach so far.

Most of their players would have so much fun off the pitch that they would properly sustain only some 15 minutes of play and ask for substitution.

This time though,it seems they wre the Matadors,fooling their opponents into allowing their goal mouths to be soaked by goals made in Spain.

And so they marched on......

Holland Aiming to Achieve at Last

The other team that finishes the Group of death is Holland aka the netherlands.This is one team whose goal in thye past has been to never reach the finals of a world cup unless the opponent is too willing.

They usually have some of the finest names in football in every generation,but they are usually trained to treat football tournaments a necessary burden.

So most of te times they end up having their holidays right inside the football stadium.As a result,they usually leave their opponents to roam around with the ball and get to beat them.This is because they usually want to leave the football tournaments to concentrate on the tough job of holidaying.

Word around is that they have had a change in mindset and decided to take things seriously due to a huge public outcry.

Argentina as Group of Death Favorites

The players from this country are well known for being able to ghst onto balls and poke them into the opponents goal ends.

They are trained in visibility matters whereby a player is taught how to pretend to be invisible to the opponents,and pounce on the ball once an opponent is relaxed with the ball.This technique is to be practiced in the opponents goalmouth areas

They also have a wierd type of play-acting,whereby they easily fall at the touch of an opponents shirt on them.This technique is acquired by training in swimming pools and diving schools.

A combination of these factors makes them some of the most dangerous opponents one can face in football.

Non Joking Ivorians

There is another team in the so-called group of death that hails from the continent of Africa.This team has players with special characters as well.

Many of these players honed their skills while running to school mostly barefooted as children.This aspect has worked to their advantage,such that they can outsprint a cheetah.This aspect of their game works for them such that when they get the ball,they end up leaving their opponents gasping for breath.

The only terrible aspect about it,is that they sometimes lose control of their braking system,so they find themselves running into people in the stands who are watching.

They also have well developed muscles.Their bulging muscular frames usually make someone think that some additional sort of material has been fixed inside their bodies.They resemble more of body builders than soccer players.

Thsi works to their advantage,because when an opponent just looks at their advancing frames,one usually leaves the ball alone and flees to the referee for refuge,so that he does not get hospitalised by the weird combination of speed and fridge-shaped bodies.

They acquire these types of physique by eating a double share of some traditional african food which contains some special properties than can bulge up the thinnest person to herculean proportions in just one day.

No Jokes in Group of Death

Every football tournament usually consists of groups within which team tussle out,but there's one particular group that people have always developed cold feet for,and is usually composed of teams with similar abilities to tear each other apart.

World cup 2006 had a very interesting group of death,four teams it had ,one of which hails from a volatile region called Serbia,allied to another country with a name that I'd take three days to pronounce.

The players from this region have perfected their skills while dodging bullets during war,so they evolved a form of soccer called,dodge-soccer,where the main aim is to dodge the ball and get the man coming with it.

Of course the end result has usually been matches whereby the referee has a field day dishing out cards especially the red type of cards

Cup Season

Well,this is the time when three quarters of all the eyes on planet earth are glued onto their screens watching millionaires kicking some inflated rubber and skin.Soccer time!!!

The combination of teams that have assembled themselves over there just for the sake of changing one line in the guiness book of world records

So, one of the top contenders includes teams like China,S.Korea and Japan who are accustomed to mixing their soccer with some warlike activities.Some of their tactics include:Chanting war cries in place of the words for their National anthems to get in the mood for war.

They also practice some of those karate chops on the field,upon the opposing team's most dangerous players.

The referee is not spared either as they usually ensure that the match will be card free by secretly replacing the actual yellow and red cards with some color like blue then apply some color blinding tactics on the referee to stop him from seeing the right colors.

These are dangerous contenders!!
