Hey all... are there any other soccer enthusiasts on the forum?

Germany had a good showing in todays opening match.. especially w/o ballack.

I was surprised by the poor performance of poland as they didnt show up until the 80th minute when they hit the woodwork twice. I dont remember them having any real opportunities before that.

Can't wait to see the US play... I think we will tie the Czech, beat Italy, and destroy Ghana and advance.

What do you guys think?

Who do you think will be in the World Cup final?

I think it will be Brazil and England...maybe France

 

Supporting England since 8 years old.


England hasn't won the World Cup in 40 years. Would it be sad if England loses a match to less notable Trinidad and Tabago? I've read good reviews on WC Ghana team.

There are a lot of Brasil fans but most do so because Brasil won the Jules Rimet trophy several times. Same deal with Schumacher/Ferrari or Leeds United fans immediately becoming Crystal Palace fanatics. Through Thick and Thin...England 4Ever!

 

Quoted for the ******* truth

3 Lions on the shirt baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

italy way to go ......

 

Can't go wrong with Ecuador.

 

Wait til monday ladies usa will stomp the chezks and if they dont were screwed i think we have the team to take it

 

Go with the all almight USA baby

 

I think england has a great shot at ending the wc dry spell.... i would like to see the US do well.. i think they have a good team and i think they will go far in the tournament but still not good enough to win it all... brazil, england, france, portugal are far superior... i would like to see brazil get knocked out early

 

Any of you England fans wake up early to see the england game... becks free kick from 40 out was absolutely insane

 

Didn't get early to watch England on the pitch. Yeah England won 1-nill against Paraguay...although it was on Paraguay's own goal...haha. In the words of Vin Diesel, it doesnt matter if you win by an inch or a mile, winning is winning.

 

My team is the greatest underdog in euro cup history!
GREECE!
Unfortunately, due to some bad luck and a hard qualifying group they did not make it
Anyway, hope Italy wins this one!

 

Indeed.. it was the first game in world cup history to be decided by an own goal

 

Trinidad and Tobago played quite a game against the swedes. the tie is a win. they played short too.

 

South Korea all the way.

 

ya.. they played 45 minutes with only 10 men... doesnt look promising for the swedes if they cant finish on 10 players.. mad props to trinidad and tobago keeper.. he made some sick @$$ point blank saves

 

imo, the swedes will be fine. just need a win in the next two.
yep, a hometown hero.

 

So I only got to watch about 20 minutes of the first half of the US game today... didnt look good. The only positive I saw was reyna's shot that rattled the post... czech showed they deserve that #2 ranking with a 3-0 @$$ beating

 

I cant believe that France tied Switzerland... the handball on henrys shot should have been a pk

didnt get to see brazil play but heard they only won 1-0

 

This is not the year for the US team.

I vote for Italy to go all the way.

 

I agree.. they need to start playing the starting 11 during qualifying so they mesh together.

I think the czech republic is looking really strong and after poor performance by france and a weak offensive showing for brazil i think the cup will go to the germans or czech
