The World Cup thread!

[WalterBenitez]

Germany 2-0 , assuming the refs dont fall for every Grosso and Totti dive

ITA 1 GER 0, assuming that FIFA won't nominate a German ref, you know
FRA 2 POR 1, I like ZZ, just because of him.

[WalterBenitez]

Because refs can help you win the game.

Hummmmm, let me think ... yes but you saw GER against ARG the ref wasn't THE factor, was a homer yeah, I know ... but no the factor ...the only thing was taht double warning to the german that was out of his head at the begining if that kis was from ARG he would be sent off (IMO).

I wasn't saying you didn't know english. I was saying you did know English well. How and where did you learn? I know it can be difficult to get a visa from Poland or Russia. Maybe the only way would be a guest visa so you can visit.

Yes I know you were saying that I know English well and that surprised me that's why I put a emote.
I wanted to go but they didn't gave me the visa, the guest visa. (my father is in USA).



Maaaan man we've got European championships with Portugal and Italy
I have no idea who is gonna win, that the WC. France is showing that they are a turnament team - playing better and better game after game. Beating Brazil they seems to be the favorites. But you never know. Maybe we will be witnessing the biggest sensation in World Cup?
The champions:
Porugal

And here I thought that people only complained about bad officiating in basketball. It's been interesting to see how much of a factor it is in soccer as well.

In soccer the ref got more power changing the score. Cause you've got scores in single digits and one mistake can decide the game. One game which decide about everything.
In soccer a ref is like another player who can make mistakes. He is not as close as basketball ref plus he is alone (not counting the side refs). He have no 3 angels like the basketball refs.

Well, if you have 40 000 ppl cheering for you it helps you a lot energy- wise. It is also an advantage that the players know the stadiums and are used to play there. South Korea was in the 1/2 finals in 2002 (also at home)...

I really think that Italy has the better team. They want to proove somthing after the scandal in the italian league and that may fire them up even more. Our team lost to them in march 1:4! It would be a miracle if we win against them... no matter how the game ends tomorrow, I will be really proud of the team because they got way further than ANYBODY expected...

I expected Germany to win it all. With Brazil also in the final. Wrong on Brazil, I want to also be wrong on Germany. I don't want what I expect to happen, happen.

If Portugal or France win it, it will piss off 99% of the whole world. I'm rooting for either of them. Germany and Italy

[Texas_Ranger]

I want to se Italy and Porugal in the finals.

[judaspriestess]

^^^^ ooooooooh Hot, Hot, Hot

Yes, I know I'm a perv but do you blame me?

I'm rooting for Portugal. in 2002 it was Germany.

Why will 99% of the World get pissed if Portugal wins?
Portugal hasn't pissed anyone off...

France and Germany OTOH...I don't know about the rest of the world but I know they pissed us off. Still Germany's gotten it's act together...

Only France is going to piss me off.


I'd rather seen the Mavs win than France.


And don't give me Tony either...he rooted against Team USA in the 04 Olympics.

Portugal and France futbol teams are as unpopular as the San Antonio Spurs. Get with the program.

[Streakyshooter08]

Here is another reason why Italy will win: Frings got suspended by the Fifa because of the things that happend after the Argentinia game.Looks like he hit a player back after he got a hit by an argentinian player... without him it does not look good for our team. He is back for the last game though...

[Spurologist]

Germany 2
Italy 1

France 2
Portugal 1

Allez les blues

[whottt]

Get with the program.

France win at home in 1998 and referee gave them 3 red card (one for Zidane)
if they help france they hide it very well

[hendrix]

I root for France now

[polandprzem]

Get opver it. That game was a setup...
...wait, they haven't played yet?


It's about making a history for Germans, they've never won with Italy in WC.

[velik_m]

Germany going for penalties. either that or they suck.

Here in America we only play manly songs by manly men at our sports events.

Stuff like We Will Rock You and We are the Champions, by bands like Queen.

[whottt]

There is a player for Germany that looks exactly like Tony Parker.

[velik_m]

Oh yeah, nothing gay about Queen.

[velik_m]

Italy trying to avoid penalties.

I don't like We are the Champions. That tune is sickening. Lead singer of Queen was gay. Not so manly.
