The inevitable World Cup thread....

[Katahu]

Here's a good question:

Why does everybody call it a would "cup" if the trophy looks more like a "ball" being held by human figures?

[Souichiro]

Because of the way the original looked

[Fozzer]

Or bowels.

...I'll pass on that remark...

You can't beat the occasional Bowel Movement...
...'swat 'appens when Football comes on the 'Tele......!

Here's a good question:

Why do American's call it "The World Series", when only America plays in it.  8)

Urmm Kat, your USA against England prediction, not a good one The US first team were beaten by the England 2nd and even 3rd string team recently. If they ever meet in the world cup, they will be facing the real deal.
Sorry friendly banter
Still dont like the game, but go England.

two of the USA's players, play for Reading FC...

but... il be doing my best to ignore the world cup....

I enjoy soccer, just like any sport played at its highest levels by the best athletes.. So I'll be watching, when I'm able. But I'll have to admit, it takes an effort to get excited about watching soccer.

[commoner]

England vs. Paraguay

Will definitely be one to watch!

..mm..a game of two halves..but three points is three points.................commoner

[Souichiro]

Whoohoo! First point for Trinidad! Go leo!

Whoohoo! First point for Trinidad! Go leo!

Well done to Trinidad. One man down and they didn't give up. Top job.

[lilley91]

Trinidad holding Sweden to a draw, pretty much secures our place in the next round, as long as we hold sweden to a draw or win, then we're clean through, i would like to see England V Germany, but i'd prefer to play the second in their group, lol

FOOTBALL'S COMING HOME!

[Souichiro]

Whoohoo! 1-0 win for Holland!

3pts down 6 more to go!

Iran played unexpectedly well for 50 mins or so... in the end mexico got the deserved win

Portugal also got the expected win!

Tomorrows matches:

Australia vs Japan

USA - Czech republic

Italy - Ghana

Three interesting matches for sure!

[Smoke2much]

I had the pleasure of working on the night of the England win.  50 + very drunk, very sunburned and very stupid "footy" fans who decided to finish the day with a punch up were in the department.

Expletives deleted.

Let me just say that it was a very looooooooong shift.

Another good day so far!

Another " Dutch" Succes when Guus Hiddink's Australia beat Japan 3-1 in a late match victory... untill the 80th minute or so Japan led 1-0.

Also today the USA got the expected clobbering when the almighty czechs beat them 3-0. Mind you the Czech republic has a great team and should be feared by all opponents.


So that leaves Italy and debutant Ghana tonight! Should be interesting!
