Football World Cup (Soccer) Germany 2006

#1

Hey,

Anyone planing on watching the World Cup in Germany...

Personaly i have to back Australia,

Its the first time in Years that we have qualified ...lol

So go you Aussies ... Go..

Cheers

#2

Yup, go the Aussies..!
Personally, I don't think we'll get very far, but if we can beat Fapper's team; you never know what we're capable of.. lol

Who's going for whom..?

#3

Brazil all the way. Although its might impressive that Australia did qualify and its good that FIFA actually now lets a team from the oceania region directly qualify for the world cup instead of having to go around the whole south america and everything trying to get into the world cup which made is almost impossible.

But yeah im going to watch it if i can as my exams are at the same time. Which kinda sucks but yeah you gotta do what you gotta do right

#4

Yea I'll end up watching some of the games. My friends have really gotten me into soccer recently so it'll be my first World Cup that I'll follow but it'll be interesting

#5

Supporting England- patriotic pride and all that. Just a shame it looks like Rooney (aka Shrek) doesn't look like he's gonna be fit.

But I'm expecting Italy to dismiss their troubles as home and bring home the bacon. Brazil look a little too unstable at the back to me, and any team who can contain Ronaldiho stands a good chance of keeping them quiet. Germany have their weekest team for decades, and yet somehow I expect they'll still manage a good showing. Argentina could be in with a good shout as well.

Shit I wish that I could catch the matches, I think Brasil is playing right now... /sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" />

I watched the last men's world cup and it was awsome!

Now that my daughter is playing in the competative leagues here in Texas, I've become an even bigger soccer fan.

Wow...thanks for that list Mr. SM! I'll prolly be going for Brasil or Italy. England will prolly do well but I'm liking Italy's chances

#10

I like Germany as the host country. I think the home town crowd could give them an edge...

I also like Brazil, Netherlands, Spain, United States, & the Czech Republic teams in that order.

But what do I know.....
