These European World Cup teams are like the BigTen in NCAAF

Lots of history and hype but overrated

Thought Germany was the exception but no

As a guy that lives in B1G country I like the analogy.

Best 3 teams of 2010 World Cup were European. Two met in Final.

Overreaction much? I would take Germany/Netherlands/France against any 3 other teams in the tournament to win it

[alamo]

Brazil are the 'Bama and Argentina are the Auburn. England are Arkansas.

How about Euro teams are 5 for 14 ATS playing non Euro teams this world cup

I stand by the analogy. like the big ten with american football euro teams have the biggest leagues, great developmental coaching, and tons of interest but have difficulty against guys who grew up kicking around a goat bladder in the dirt

I would not be surprised if a European team wins it this year.

Just think you are taking the analogy way too far...yes some Euro teams have played terribly this WC but some teams expected to do something falter at every WC...it's not like every Euro team is just collapsing. Also, the two top South American teams (Brazil and Argentina) have done nothing impressive so I think it is still early to rush to judgment. Gotta give credit where credit is due to Colombia, Chile, and Costa Rica for looking very impressive early but I'm sorry if it's an elimination stage game give me Germany or France over them any day of the week.

I wouldn't be either.

[TheCentaur]

Make that 5 for 15 ATS vs. non Euro teams

[Naz18]

Not used to the hot conditions.

[jjgold]

African and Spanish teams are going to be your best teams in future

[pavyracer]

An all Euro final is not out of the question either.

Big 10 dominated college football

2 for 9 in last season's bowls

Are you talking about 1950?

You can have +100 on every team except Europe if you're so confident.

It's not about confidence just making an observation

Wait till the real games start...
