Topic: 2010 FIFA World Cup Thread

No more Mr Nice Guy. IT'S WAAAAARR!!

@Adam You wish to watch Australia. Me = Australian.

Well, as long as we're flying flags here....
The one and only 5 time FIFA champions:

2010, Brasil HEXACAMPEÃO!!!!!!!!

Welcome, to the world's first perfectly round football. 0.o

Het Machu...England better watch out for Clint Dempsey!

@Merg: It begins! Clint Dempsey, booooooo! _{I don't like him anymore ;P}

@Capello: Why aren't we taking Theo Walcott? WTF!?!?!

As an Arsenal fan I can confirm that Theo has been pretty much cack for the whole season. So I'm not not suprised. It's painful to say (as he plays for sp*rs) but I'm sure Lennon is a better bet.

@Machu...oh yes...it begins. We don't have a chance of winning but that doesn't mean I'm not going to be boastful and tell you of how we are going to take you down! Dempsey had a really good doal on Turkey this past Saturday.

@Luigi-La-Bouncy: You're probably right. But... having taken him last time and not used him, it seems a real shame to let the lad wait ANOTHER four years. D: We all now what he is capable of, and the World Cup tends to bring out the best in players. Oh well.

@Merg: You need to start adopting blind confidence. I do! It makes the falls hurt a bit more, but it's worth it.

England for The World Cup!!!

Hahahahaha...that is so true Machu. Hey, as long as the US takes down England I'll be happy!!

I've been watching some Dempsey goals for Fulham. He is great!

No he's not. He sux!

_{but yes, he has scored some beauties this season alone, the one in the EUFA cup sticks out the most in my mind.}

Man I LOVE the World Cup . ENGLAND FTW, America sux

_{sorry, man... nice pic, though :3 -- TBD}

In other news, every team has announced thier final squad. England's side looks good, (with Theo Walcott out) while any hopes of Italy winning are dead with the squad they announced. (thank you Marcello Lippi for making me want to change sides)

@TBD What?? There wearing clothes..........just! _{sorry bout that}

You'll be eating those words on the 12th!!

Brazil just won their friendly game vs Zimbabwe.
3 - 0 win for Brazil (obviously) and they weren't even trying and playing with mostly reserve players. LOL
2010 = 6th win!

I usually don't care about football much, but during the European or World Championships I'm always watching the games The Netherlands plays fanatically.

I'm going to be positive for now and guess for a quarter-final as the result. The group phase usually is not that much of a problem for the Orange Legion, especially if they play as well as in Austria and Switzerland two years ago. The poop kicks in during quarter- or semifinals, especially when it comes to penalty shots.

I hate to sound like a total noob, ok so I am at football/soccer. I love the Pro Evolution games and want to watch Football/Soccer to see if it is a sport I can get into. Is there a station in the United States that televises football/soccer games ? Sorry if this is off topic.

@WIIPS2GuyWell, if you have cable, ESPN2 plays games. The US / Australia international friendly is on Saturday at 8:30 am EST.

umm, go Mexico?
