World cup SOCCER

[FlyingJ 0]

Nope, down south of Gainesville now, still volunteering with AmeriCorps. Still no more jumping until I'm done w/ AmeriCorps and start making some money again. A lot harder this year because I pass Williston and Palatka all the time and am always reminded of how much I miss it. Have been doing some ride alongs in Life Flight helicopters and can never think of anything but jumping out!

Don't know anything about the WC this year. Just watched a couple matches this morning. Would love to see someone come from nowhere to win some games kind of like Camaroon did back in 90 or 91. That was actually the last time I watched...

T&T did alright against Sweeden today, especially a man down for 1/2 the game.

Killing threads since 2004.

based on last nights performance i might have to change my views on england doing anything constructive during the world cup

oh well england do have a track record of messing up the first game, so all may be good...

it might also help if we don't get ridiculous refs that feel the need to book people for no apparent reason

i think the ref had it in for crouch. If we dont score against trinidad then yes, we have no chance

I was on vacation with my kids this weekend and my son still made us watch the games in the hotel room!

He's rooting for Portugal.

He said, "all of you who don't like soccer, just go back to watching baseball where the players sit on the bench, chew tobacco and get fat."

I agree with you so does Germany a little disapointed yes they won their games but they don't look strong as they used to, maybe because they have the older players in the world cup

the brits should use you as their goalie lee, you wouldn't have to move much... your wide body could pretty much just block the whole fuckin goal! you could just stand there, throwin back heinies, callin' all the other team members sooty cunts and blockin all their shots! the queen would be proud!!!!

I miss Lee.
And JP.
And Chris. And...

I think it will be Italy.. they will be so happy playing away from home after the game fixing scandal in the local league! That and they have maybe the best keeper in the world.

Finally, someone else who realizes the truth. Refreshing.

The trophy will indeed be lifted by someone wearing a blue jersey. With a rooster on the chest...

That's f.cking cruel. I'm still hurting from that game, and it's been six years. Ouch.

Nice to have had a ref to award you more minutes of extra time than were warranted...great team nonetheless.

Coming from a Brit, I was surprised to see "soccer" in the title.

I don't care who wins...I just like to see good futbol being played.

My reality and yours are quite different.

I'd be more mad at Del Piero for not finishing the 2 caviars he had... He could have put it away easily.

i'm saying England, but i'm biased
i'm in new zealand so all the games are in the middle of the night, which is kind of annoying and it's really weird not being in England for all the hype!

England can't play Brazil in the final because of the groop seedings... if England win their group, then they will play Brazil in the Semi-final

I'm glad a competition has started that teams from the whole of the world participate in, its the WORLD cup... with teams from all around the world competing in not like the WORLD series in baseball, where only teams form America compete in

I'm glad america is shit at any games the whole world competes in, we don't want their arogance spoiling it for the rest

how good are america at cricket? or rugby (real game for men, not those faggots who need body armour on) or football ..... guess those sports will never be big in yankyland while they can't fit in adverts every 30 seconds

Sounds like international penis envy.

Tell them to root for england as one you are dating one and 2 we make the best steak and kidney pies in the world

My son, Nick, won't even root for the same premiere team that my bf likes! Nick likes Man United and the bf Liverpool.

Nick is going to Manchester and London this week for soccer training. I don't think I'll be able to get him to try a steak and kidney pie because of the word "kidney" being in the title. He said he won't even be trying fish and chips because he hates fried food. There's something wrong with that boy.

just tell him the wife thought the same thing. Only thing she didnt try was the fish she hates the smell and black pudding. Only because she knows what is in it. Even her dad loved the food. The steak and kidney pudding is a must with gravy,mushy peas and chips/french fries...mmmmmmmm

Sounds like you don't care for those of us in the states much

Now that Futbol is starting to take hold here in the states we may find that the team we field is pretty good. I remember when we beat Mexico and the tears of how the US has now taken the last thing that Mexico had... thought that was funny. Of course if will be a long time, if ever, that in this sport we compete at a champions level.

Oh and all those medals the US won in the Olympics.. guess those weren't against the rest of the world.

I was...and still the national coaches insist on awarding Del Piero a starting position in each tournament (see tomorrow)...he's a fine player on the club level and a heck of a sportsman but some players just don't produce at the international level -- he is certainly one of those players that does not

We'll do fine all the same once Totti makes his return :)

Netherland is good for amsterdam
