How did they manage that? What a massive fail!!:laugh3:

great special on the world cup/u.s. team in the latest sports illustrated. They had some expert predict the results, and he had serbia making it to the semis (which I found surprising).

No chance!:lol:

I can't believe Russia didn't qualify

France lost to China. :laugh3:

don't know why I didn't see this before I posted. They televised the game here, and I was chuckling because it was nil-nil after one half. Its not unlikely that they won't get passed the group stage this time. So much talent, such little chemistry.

I was watching TV and I heard that the French team thinks that Uruguay is the easiest team of their group. And now they lost against China!!! Pathetic. :lol:

^ :lol:

 

 

they are gonna loose :laugh3:

If you live in the US or UK here's a link to print out a TV schedule. It has all 4 US time zones as well as the UK. It lists game times and what channel will be showing the matches. :D

thanks! I'll add it to the news later. Just watching US of A against the Socceroos, go Edson Buddle!

Champagne football from the Dutch in the 2nd half hopefully its not a serious injury to Robben would be shame if he didn't make it.

Robben going for a scan tomorrow according to reports

^At this rate, there'll be no players left in the tournament!:stunned:

At least it ends the endless discussion that's going on here in the Netherlands about who should play in attack. We have Van Persie, Sneijder, Van der Vaart, Robben and Kuijt, but only 4 of them can play. That said, I hope Robben can catch on before the 14th of June.

Got my WC chart up and ready to go.

Next Saturday, England vs. America :)

I was looking for it this morning before work, but I don't think it was televised here (the other friendly's were). Espn says the the u.s. played a 4-3-3, which I much prefer.

It was on ESPN Chris. US played quite nicely.

If Messi plays well, and ends this dry streak he seems to have when playing for the Argentine National team, I feel like they've got an excellent shot at winning it. Brazil's change to more of a defensive team makes no sense to me, considering their long history of offensive power. Rooney will definitely be the game changer for the English. Spain, Italy, and the Netherlands all have a good shot. I think Portugal is a bit overrated going into this.

 

My top 5 teams...

 

Argentina

England

Netherlands

Spain

Brazil

I hope Argentina doesn't win because of the asshole of Maradona.

Hahaha he isn't a great coach. Did you hear about this Ricardo? Great story.

Chiva's owner is a moron.

I know...it's the world cup for fucks sake...

But not only for this. He's really a shitty guy.
