Want to know what else is very stereotypical? Other nationalities banging on the US all the time. I'd rather live in US of A then in a third world country like South Africa or something. :troll:

...okay, so I failed.

Anyways getting back on topic, I saw a commercial this morning about FIFA, more specificly Germany's match. Haven't the slightest clue who they are up against though. Just curious, how long has the FIFA been around for? I know football/soccer is getting to be incredibly popular, just don't really know how long it's been considered a major sport.

England were largely uninspiring, unbalanced, and out of sorts. The usual under Sven then. Will probably get bundled out in the 1/4's, again. Terrible match, easily the worst spectacle of the night.

T&T on the other hand were tremendous. Against all odds they held on for a point, when most, including myself, thought Sweden would roll them with ease.

Argies/IC - good to watch. Best Group this one, well worth the sleep deprivation!

I think soccer is more apt as a name though, as to not confuse it with real football.


See guys? That's how you troll.​

Nice :troll: you got there, but I was hoping for something along the line of the MLS being the World Series or what have you :chomp:. Do get the feeling that not many are falling for it though.
Anyway, its shaping up to be a good tournament, let's see how well the Brazilians do against Croatia, then the picture will be a bit clearer.

Late answer: Probably, but he's the best football player of all time (Pelé aside). And the goal after the God Hand :void: goal worth like 2 goals.

Anyway, I'm not even Argentinean, I just didn't want to say Brazil Champion.

As for today's round:

Holland 1 - 0 Serbia Montenegro
(Didnt saw this one)

Mexico 3 - 1 Iran
(Good match. Mexico did what they were supposed to do)

Portugal 1 - 0 Angola
(Crappy match. Made sleepy. Portugal is very weak at this point. I hope we improve. Knowing that most of Angola's players play in Portugal's 2nd Division :troll:)

Football is and as always been the most popular game in the whole world (except USA)

Dutch dominated possession (as they do), and deserved the win. They're always good to watch.

Well, Japan came close... Up until the end... 3:1. Aussies. :judo:

I'm hoping Germany or U.S. will win but lets face it, we all know it's going to be Brazil, LOL. :guts:

Tomorrow France and Brasil will play (not against but i'd like to see that). Those games are must-see (at least second half).

The Checs, France, England and Brazil are the great candidates for me..
England has the best defenders (Ashley Cole, John Terry and Rio Ferdinand) and the best midfielders (Lampard, Gerrard, Scholes, Joe Cole, Beckham) and in the front Rooney.. I'd bet in England to win this one..
Portuguese players are very tired.. Little f*ckers :puck:

What the heck.. GO BRASIL!!!!! :guts:

I see the Argies and Italy as greater threats to Brazil than the Czechs, French or English. You have to be joking to think England has the best defence in the world. Terry is excellent, Cole is unfit, Neville and Ferdinand are prone to howlers. Give me the Italian defence anyday. The English midfield is also unbalanced - wonderful players, but they have yet to gel. Oh, and Scholes retired from International football almost 2 years ago! :casca:


Italy and the Czechs rolled today. States ranked 5th in the World is a joke. The only decent side they play regularly is Mexico, and that showed today. They were hammered.

Argentina have a better team than England, and I expect them to go further. Italy will need to win their group to avoid Brazil next up. The Czech/Italy game is huge!

It's all speculation though. England do have an easier draw than both Italy and Argentina, so you never know. I just think under Sven they play too conservatively - they've got the players to have a good run at the Cup - but I can't see them winning it.

USA isn't going anywhere...it was painful to watch that game today.
Italy played okay, I guess.
Like someone said before, Brazil's gonna win it, they're favored.
And I had no clue, this was Australia's FIRST time in the World Cup?! I say good for them...even tho they beat the Japan :judo:

Don't worry, we're taking drastic measures for the next match...

Time to take it to them the AMERICAN WAY! USA! USA! :troll:​

"And the Americans win, 56 to 3!" In any case, I'm sure we'll give up at least 3 points. =)

Well, that was a hard win for Korea. They were completely dominated during the first half and admittedly didn't play very well, but Togo just lost it after that while Korea found some motivation. They were still pretty dangerous in the second half though, even at 10 against 11.
