:FUCKYEAH:

All I can say is that we better do better than the last world cup

 

[intedomine]

Should be a super tournament. My tip is Germany. So much balance all over the park. They should be certainty to go deep in the tournament.

I'll be at the Spain vs Croatia match can't wait

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

I don't like Italy... so I'm putting some cake on both Croatia and Ireland to advance

 

[cobl04]

I think Greece wins, and the ensuing glory brings them out of debt and they get a AAA rating again.

More football, less MMA plz.

Murderous group though. Can't believe how stacked groups B and C are.

Seriously, soccer betting is the nuts.

Obviously I'm supporting my own country. We got so fucking terrible close to the world cup last year, we have to win now.

Playing a friendly against Ireland today, depending on the outcome of that game, I'll look if I'll stay with my opinion

Go Holland!

That would be hilarious.

There we go, our last practice match tonight. I didn't even know Northern Ireland had a football team.

 

[Galeongirl]

Aw, N-I play in green. Nice.

 

[bono_man2002]

Denmark beats Australia last night. Ok I'm subscribing to Setanta sports JUST for this tournament.

You better


Holland beats N-Ireland, what a suprise.
Great for the teamspirit.

 

[bono_man2002]

There is absolute nothing else to watch on the Australian version of Setanta. They did have the FA cup final, and they still don't broadcast in HD. It blows, but they do have exclusive rights to Euro 2012....there is no other choice.

 

[Galeongirl]

Yeah N-Ireland wasn't that interesting. Though I guess you can expect that if they're 100 on the FIFA charts, while we are no 4.

You could try watching it online Dan? I know a couple of sites streaming it.

 

[bono_man2002]

I should be right, I've got a few torrent sites I know of as well.

 

[Galeongirl]

Nice, so what team do you root for? England, as part of the Commonwealth?

I loathe setanta after the Glasto broadcast. Nuff said.Thank god the channel over here that bought the exclusive rights broadcasts F1 and normal series next to sports, and normally its in everyone's basic subscribtion. So no extra fees.

*facepalm*

 

[BoMac]

Forza Italia.

 

[nielsgov]

Germany will win, hopefully in a final against The Netherlands.

Haha, yeah I used to support England in the world cups, but they are pretty good at the art of epic fail. I think I'll support Ireland and pick Spain to be champions.

 

[anitram]

Forza Italia.

Come on, nobody roots for the Italians.

I'd pick Germany as my favourite to win.

 

[BoMac]

You do if you're a first generation Canadian-Italian like me.

But I agree with you. Germany is the odds-on favourite.

 

[speedracer]

Hola

Not again!!!

Haha, yeah I used to support England in the world cups, but they are pretty good at the art of epic fail. I think I'll support Ireland and pick Spain to be champions.

This year they'll fail. All the good players are out with injuries, and Rooney still has a 2 match ban standing, so he can only join the final match of hte first round.

Spain is pretty much where I'd put my money too. Either that or my own country, but I wouldn't want to go so far as to say it's an easy choice. We've failed quite a bit in friendly matches, and they're still trying to get the team working. I can hope, though.

 

[intedomine]

Russia are a dark horse. Stable squad, a midfield who are used to playing with each other and they should emerge out of a relatively unchallenging group. We're superb at the last Euros as well.

 

[Galeongirl]

Yeah but you got a great trainer.

 

[cobl04]

Forza Italia.

We still hate you for dive-gate in the second round of the 06 world cup.

 

[anitram]

You do if you're a first generation Canadian-Italian like me.

I live in the heart of Little Italy in Toronto. Best place to be!
