While Germany’s Fifa World Cup 2006 is getting closer, this unique world cup predictions contest from Al Ghad newspaper for all soccer fans is about to start. If you’d like to enter the contest, what you basicly need to do is make up your own Soccer dream team out of all Germany’s World Cup players that you predict will score the most goals in the upcoming world cup, where you get 4 points for every goal a Defender position player that you selected in your dream team scores, 3 points when a Midfielder position player scores, and 2 points when a Forward position player scores. I’d like to tag all of JordanPlanet soccer fans males and females to join the predictions contest, even if it was just for fun by writing about it in your blog, so we can see who’s the best predictor among the planet when the world cup is all over, and who knows, someone among JordanPlanet bloggers might win a Peugeot 307, 207 or one of Al Ghad’s prizes for the contest. I’m putting my hopes up on Brazil to win their 6th world cup with Ronaldinho, and on Holland to stop being unlucky.
P.S. Al Ghad’s Dream Team Contest website doesn’t work on Mozilla Firefox.
And here’s my dream team for Germany’s World Cup 2006:
Forwards: Ronaldo(Brazil), Ron Van Nistelrooij(Holland)
Midfielders: Micheal Ballack(Germany), Zenedine Zidane(France), Frank Lampard(England), Mark Van Bommel(Holland)
Defenders: Roberto Carlos(Brazil), Alessandro Nesta(Italy), Sergio Ramos(Spain), Roberto Ayala(Argentina)
(By the way, it has to be a 2-4-4 formation)

Thanx for the tag. Although it’s good to see newspapers showing interest in football, but that’s a crappy contest. Defenders’ efforts cannot be estimated by the goals they score. Thuram was the world’s best defender in 1998 but the first goals he scored fro France were those against Croatia in the 98 semis. Same applies for other great defender sin history like Maldini and Baresi ….etc
I agree with you Hareega on that defenders’ efforts cannot be estimated by the goals they score, for its not their goal as defenders, but it’s still fun to try and predict though.
I’ll still form a team shu bedna nsawwi i can’t resist football contests
Defenders: Roberto Carlos, Sorin (Argentina), Ayala(Argentina), John Terry (England) , those are the most likely to score goals
Midfield: Ballack, Gerrard, Zidane, Nedved
Forawrd: Ronaldinho and Crespo.
Jordanfirst… you mixed up the players’ positions !
What a costy tag dude
As I mentioned Jad, you don’t really need to join the contest if you don’t want to, think of it as a just for fun predictions game. And I’m not advertising for Al Ghad if thats what you mean
just something to blog about.

Hi,
I have 2 questions.
1st: What is the best way to see the world cup?
2nd: How could you create your own singnature icon like Yazeed and Jad did? and how could you attach it to be part of your comment?
Regards,
Samer
Here is my team:
Def: Puyol, Nesta, Rafa Marquez, Emanuel Eboui
Mid: Aimar, Deco, Ballack, Lampard
Att: Adriano, Henry
I also played the UEFA fantasy football; they give goalkeepers points for every clean sheet “without receiving any goals”! And also they give defenders points for every clean sheet as well.
Although some defenders are famous for scoring goals from corners and free kicks headups.
