4-2 again would be nice we should win

Usa is surely a hard team, the last championship they really played well......................but if Italy wants to go ahead, we cannot fear Usa, with all the respects! so, in the end, i think that...........................................




we gonna eat their flesh!!

they were ok last time but they are awful against european sides in europe

 

[Sweet Tart]

Should be a good game tonight. I'm thinking it's going to be a draw, 1-1 probably. My brother reckons 2-2.

was thinking the same thing. 2-2 most likely.

 

[the rockin edge]

arsenal are without Ljungberg and van Persie

 

[Sweet Tart]

well it ended basically how i thought it would but i figured with rooney/rvn/henry that someone would be able to scrape out a goal or two.....v disappointing.

oh well..at least both teams dropped points.

ok, here's what i want to happen the rest of the year

1. wigan beat arsenal in lge cup...we beat them in the final
2. we win fa cup
3. barcelona destroy chelsea in the cleague & then get destroyed themselves in the next round
4 england win world cup, beating brazil in the final <---this is the most important

we've got the players.....

I want that to happen obviously, and i also want this to happen:

1. Villa to win the FA cup
2. Villa to finish in a respectable top half position
3. Birmingham city, west ham and newcastle to get relegated
4. Villa to sign Ronaldinho in the january transfer window






Number 2 is really the only one with a realistic chance of happening but i can dream!

wouldn't mind west brom going down, but their real rivals are Wolves. Just like our proper rivals are blues.

a good point u make about the world cup too

i love the world cup

Football rules

 

[the rockin edge]

after the last world cup it took me half the season to get into the league again, it seemed so trivial compared to the wc.

the world cup is without doubt the biggest sporting competition in the world.

 

[1stepcloser]

Of course it is. it happens and the world stands up and takes notice.

Euphoria will break out over here if England really do win it. The Ashes and the Rugby world cup triumphs will be absolutely miniscule compared to if we won the world cup

 

[the rockin edge]

true, the whole country will go mad with celebration. like the ashes x10

 

[U2Man]

arsenal are without Ljungberg and van Persie

0 - 0

yeah, rock, this is infact the right spirit of football!.........................Even make one applause to Ac Milan's players when they play for Italy................................But you don't know how much weariness it costs.................tough things of life

American football, basketball and baseball have millions of followers, but they can't match soccer for sheer excitement, says a team of scientists.

i read that in the newspaper today.

We don't need a team of scientists to tell us footy is the most exiting sport

Other sports don't come close.

Liverpools champions league final for example
