Bet on it.

I got England winning their groups and Germany winning theirs so we play Poland in the first knockout. The we bear Argentina in the Quarter and then Brazil in the semi's. Germany get as far as the semi's but lose to Italy who then go on to lose against England in the final. If we are going to win it we have to beat the best so argentina and brazil on the way to italy is good.

as for svens flag......while the fa are still paying his extortionate wages he only flies the St George Cross! (ps the wages are worth it if he wins it!)

Cisse - luckily for him it is his other leg. a break at the old injury might well have finished him off. He is young (25 I think) and will bounce back.

Really feeling the butterflies now. Absolutely confident England will come together for this one and the potential since '98 will succeed.

 

[Aardvark747]

All kicks off today then! Cant wait to settle on the sofa and cheer on Costa Rica!

 

[Tomasz]

And I'm crossing my fingers for Poland...it won't be easy since we're going to meet England or Sweden after we finish second (I hope) in our A group.

good luck to you up until you play england. i think you will come first or second depending on whether germany get it together. i think there is a good chance you will play us in the first knockout round

 

[Sweet Tart]

ill have to get updates on the net cause the germany game is on here at noon and i can't get off to see it. i may check out the big screen on the building next to me. they played all the euro matches on there in 2004 so it might be showing there.

 

[Tomasz]

Well, the last time we beat England in an important game was about 30 years ago but still hoping it's not gonne be "crash test" for Poland. You English people have good chances for winning the cup, I must admit. Kind of "once in a decade team" with superb Gerard, Lampard, Beckham midfield.

 

[the rockin edge]

Italy who then go on to lose against England in the final.

that's my dream final

you are right. if we miss our chance it could be 10 years before we have a team made up of such quality throughout again!

 

[Aardvark747]

Great opening game and fantastic 1st goal for Germany. 3-2 to them now. 9 mins 2 go..

 

[Aardvark747]

Christ, another stunner!! Frings makes it 4-2.

 

[guill]

The German defence

 

[LJT]

^Aye but Lahm's and Fring's goals

 

[speedracer]

Article on soccer/the World Cup in Spiegel

Explanations abound as to why this game stokes such passion around the globe. It's the people's game with something for everybody. Short people can look up to a Roberto Carlos; tall people to a Michael Ballack, and fat people to a Ronaldo.

Ouch.

 

[U2SJ]

Hi guys, before i lose my mind, can someone please tell me if i missed the opening ceremony??? When was it or is it on in California? Thanks

 

[yertle-the-turtle]

Great win for the Ecuadorians, and a pretty entertaining opening match (apart from the crappy 10 minute period where nothing happened at the start of the second half).

 

[Zoomerang96]

i am so sick of hearing about ronaldo's weight. he's obviously not fat, it would be impossible for him to perform the way he does if he really was.

hey tomasz,

believe it or not i was in your city about a year ago, at the university. i have a friend there...

i used to live in lomza/zambrow near bialystok... ever been there?

nice to see polish people around... and tough loss today. you guys definitely lacked an edge.

 

[speedracer]

i am so sick of hearing about ronaldo's weight. he's obviously not fat, it would be impossible for him to perform the way he does if he really was.

Have you seen recent pictures of him? He's clearly packing on at least 10-15 lbs of excess baggage. This might very well not affect his play in the World Cup, but it's quite visible.

 

[HeartlandGirl]

So I'm new to following the World Cup, but I hope you all don't mind if I join you in this thread. This time around I figured I'd watch some of the matches and see how it goes. Watched Poland and Ecuador today (and was sad that Poland lost--my grandmother was Polish). Fun to watch, though! I'll be keeping track and trying to learn the game a little better.

 

[anitram]

The Polish defense is so bad. Really bad. And I wanted them to win that game too.

Germans too, the poland game was soo boring but i was impressed how ecuador went forward.

Frings has the best goal so far

 

[J_NP]

Hey my footy-lover brothers , I'm back after a 8 days net-less absence , so tell me whats up on the discussions ? Did anybody missed the beginning of the WC ?

It's a simple game to understand, you just need to know that Brazilians or Germans always win it.

 

[guill]

The second goal of Ecuador was brilliant

 

[toscano]

Italians have won it more than Germans I believe, and Argentinians just as often as Germans.
