yet still has a snowball's chance?

"Whip me!" pleads the adom player. The rng replies... "No."
Closest as in geographically?
Err, the favourites in no particular order are Spain, Germany, Brazil and Argentina. So I guess you should be cheering for those Kentucky locals Brazil, although Brazil must be about 3000 miles away from Kentucky I should think...
Will we need to define some sort of probability scale?
If USA's chances of winning are similar to a whelk's chance in a supernova, then yeah, perhaps Mexico's chances of winning are snowballs in hell-esque...
By which I mean, Mexico are marginally more likely to win than USA are, but not very likely...
What's with that defeatist talk - at least cheer for your boys as long as they're still in! After that we can tell you which teams you're supposed to hate, and work from there.
For starters, there's France, which entered the championship by tricking the referee with an illegal goal. They started promisingly by scoring a dreadful goalless tie against mediocre Uruguay - if everything goes well we'll see them taken out in the group stage.

I try to give instructions, so if you want to see some place you haven't been before and get some hints on how to deal with it, this might help! There's also some other games featured there that you might find interesting.
Of course I meant Geographically.

Yeah, bullocks suck.

All opposing teams may as well forfeit.

Ignoring the fact that Ballack is an awesome playmaker and regular goal scorer for his county (42 goals from 98 appearances - that is a record many world class strikers would be proud of, let alone midfielders):
A player like Ballack contributes a lot more to a teams performance than just kicking the ball. For teams to consistently play better than the sum of their parts, they need a commanding, well respected captain who everyone trusts.
It is too early to say whether the loss of Ballack will make a difference to Germany in this tournament - Germany have many regular goal scorers in Klose, Podolski, Schwiensteiger, who all scored a plurality of goals in Euro2008 (as did Ballack of course), but as the tournament progresses, experience and leadership become more significant, and the german squad is one of the younger sides in this tournament, certainly the youngest of the pre-tournament top 5 favourites. We shall see.
/Good luck Lahm
//Lived in Germany once, guess they are my third team in the competition
Ballack is awesome and you're dumb.
I definitely agree that we'll sorely miss his great experience, though it should be kept in mind that both Podolski and Schweinsteiger have well over 70 caps (149 together) despite being aged only 25 and have played several big tournaments, so it's not like our term is filled with nothing but greenhorns. Still, it's a very young team - once the KO stage rolls around, I wonder how ?zil, M?ller, Khedira will deal with the pressure.
