I said from the start that Germany will do good this time even without Ballack playing and so far so good but coming from England I shouldn't be saying that but it's true lol. England just can't play together on the pitch simple as and it's a shame they have the talent they just step on each others toes in my opinion. Here in England everyone has gone football mad and it is really nice to see that for once its the only time we can. So far with all the shock results I don't think nothing will go to plan and 2 outsiders will probably be in the final unless after the group stages everyone puts the real effort in and passion for their country's which will be alot better to watch!

I say next time hold the world cup over here in England as we know football it's what we al live for to be honest lol and we have some real good stadiums and we shall show you how to follow your own football team and get behind them with the atmosphere's

You say that Rob, then they go and lose to Serbia.

I actually hope they lose to Serbia, I'm rooting for USA to make it out of the group.

Fuck me, Rooney was a pile of crap tonight.

[t0mt3hnub]

like i said Netherland going to win it all

I am very impressed by how radically different this World Cup is turning out than the predictions. We've had a lot of upsets and the whole thing is playing out in a very interesting way. The only thing is I wish is that all refs/officials were all non-retarded, there was some vuvuzela filter on TV broadcasts, and the ball was less crazy.

Wrong group. Was talking about Germany losing.

Italy just drew with New Zealand. Defending champions against a team of part timers and players from lower division leagues. Rory Fallon currently plays for Plymouth Argyle ffs...That's how lowly ranked the New Zealand team are, they have internationals now playing in League One. Yet they draw with Italy. A stupid number of upsets this tournament.

Did you guys see Brazil - Cote D'Ivoire? The match went to shit at the end, can't believe the referee, couldn't control them and let a lot of things unpunished.

How are the upsets stupid? The whole point of the tourney is to win. You can't fault the underdog for trying.

I want to watch Portugal smash N. Korea tomorrow, and Spain v. Honduras might be a good show (not because of Honduras of course). Then Tuesday has France's downfall, which is disappointing but still funny. And Wednesday we'll find out who between US and UK has better local born talent. Undoubtedly England pays for the best players for the Premier league, but by sheer population the US should have some soccer stars.

Also, I need to pay a bit more attention to Switzerland. They won their first match of the cup, but because they're in Group H they aren't getting the coverage that other teams (S. Africa, Argentina, England, Germany, Italy Brazil etc) have because of their group status.

Highlight reels aren't enough anymore. Must... have... futbol!

[stellanox]

This WC has been kind of boring. None of the teams are really exciting but I'm supporting Netherlands because my Dutch friend is super excited about her country's team and I'm just tagging along . Maybe when the semis come I would be more excited...

[Frizzle]

lol still the us is soooooooooooooo bad.

[redlion]

England and US advance.

Lawlz Lee, seems we're not all that bad.

I absolutely agree with this. Refs = (#*$&$)!$#@#%), but that's always kind of always been the case. Vuvuzela is new effed up shit that makes my head hurt through the TV (fuck it must blow for the people at the actual stadiums). The ball (like always) makes defensive players hate it with a burning passion...and offensive players are all confused about how to kick it proper. But the upsets are actually an interesting change. There usually area a few upsets in the first round & the Round of 16, but this WC seems surprisingly surprising, of course I'm 98.2% sure that a South American or European team will win it all (again like always). The 1.8% is my love for the US which blinds me to reality Of course, if the US can't win/gets knocked out I'm rooting for England first, Germany second, and Portugal third.

Did you see the Vuvuzela addition to youtube? Just click on the ball at the lower part of the video and "enjoy"
