- Czech Republic (7) – Nedved might retire before World Cup.
- Germany (8) – Maybe Lehmann is alright after all.
- England (9) – Big Phil is the one, now they can concentrate on Beckham’s hair
- Portugal (5) – Scolari news overshadows uncertain keeper situation.
- Netherlands (6) – Makaay won’t play in Germany.
- France (12) – Zidane to make one final stand.
