The World Cup Thread

[RingwaySam]

Well seeing as it's only less that 24 hours until the World Cup kicks off I thought I should make a thread seeing as nobody else has done. Anyway, If your country isn't in it who will you be supporting?

The first game will be good, Germany vs Costa Rica. Hopefully Costa Rica will win

Hopefully England will finally go further than the quarter finals, it's been long since we last kicked your a$$es, especially during penalty shootings .
Only 7 hours, 34 minutes left until the best World Championship ever starts. Emotions are already so high, I bet the streets will be dead when Germany plays, as there is maximum coverage.
Either on pay-TV or free-TV at home, on the radio, on pay-TV at your favorite pub, together with 50,000 other people at the Fan Fests in the larger cities, at your bowling alley, etc. Time to prepare, ahem,
"Einigkeit und Recht un Freiheit,
Für das deutsche Vaterland.
Einigkeit und Recht und Freiheit
Sind des Glückes Unterpfand.
Blüh' im Glanze dieses Glückes,
Blühe deutsches Vaterland.
Blüh' im Glanze dieses Glückes,
Blühe deutsches Vaterland."
I order you all to sing along with me .

That would be awesome
Well, Austria is not qualified so my bet is on Brazil to win this World Cup. Although there are many very good teams like Italy, Netherlands, England,....

I have now read this sentence 10 times, and still can't find the "very good teams" in the sentence .

[James747]

I'm going for South Korea all the way, but I know they'll have a struggle to qualify with France and Switzerland in their group.

[pkonowrocki]

Don't forget that there is also Poland - Equador game today, so guess who I want to win


POLAND !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and if they don't make it then Italy

You're just envious because we have won more titles .

Specially Ballack!

Ballack won't be playing against Costa Rica .

[RingwaySam]

You're just envious because we have won more titles

Ahh well, it was still great to beat Germany 5-1

Ballack won't be playing against Costa Rica

Yep just heard, although I thought it may have been a publicy stunt!

Comeon Costa Rica! Just under 1 hour to go

And am I the only england fan that thinks Joe Cole is shit?

[DAL767-400ER]

Ahh well, it was still great to beat Germany 5-1

Too bad you didn't get a "Copa" for that .

And am I the only england fan that thinks Joe Cole is shit?

No idea about that, as I don't even know wtf Joe Cole is, but I'd guess there are probably lots of people out there who'd agree with me that Sven-Göran Eriksson is shit .

[magic48]

Ahh well, it was still great to beat Germany 5-1

And who beat England in the last game played at the old Wembley?

[MaDbOy]

Hey Colin:
54X74=3996, -1990=2006
Now, who became world champion in '54, '74 and '90?

[RingwaySam]

Alright alright, hopefully we will get you if we both get through to the last 16 then we'll kick your arses again
