Truthfully, I'll watch, but I doubt I'll be a huge supporter of any country. LordPerrin Send a noteboard - 08/06/2010 01:07:54 PM
So, 3 days left to go until the action kicks off in South Africa and already the drama has started. Rio's out! Drogba's out (probably)! Robben's out! Essien's out! Someone up there reeeeeeeally doesn't like people who've played for Chelsea.

But who's going to win? Euro champions Spain? A Ronaldinho-less Brazil? Maradona's Argies? England? Ok, maybe not that last one. And who's going to be the best player? Who's going to be the surprise package? Which great team is gonna go out in the group stage? The answers are just 72 hours away.

Personally, I'm backing Spain to win. And I expect England to make their traditional quarter-finals exit on penalties. How about your country?


I just don't watch soccer every day.

However, if either the USA or Italy gets to the finals, then I'll pay attention.
I'm not strange. I'm normal. Everyone else is strange.
Oosta!
Never underestimate the power of the nerd!

Spain are easily the best, but I think they'll choke. Liam - 08/06/2010 08:21:03 AM 1032 Views
They do have history, that's for sure Monkey - 08/06/2010 09:27:10 AM 582 Views
You forgot: Ballack's out! ironclad - 08/06/2010 08:21:57 AM 716 Views
I did! It's an anti-Chelsea conspiracy! Monkey - 08/06/2010 09:30:45 AM 588 Views
Robben is hopefully not out - he's coming to SA, anyway. Legolas - 08/06/2010 08:24:21 AM 600 Views
New Zealand's going to win! Rebekah - 08/06/2010 08:30:48 AM 609 Views
Killen is so confident that he's booked his honeymoon for the same time as the playoffs. Brilliant. *NM* Liam - 08/06/2010 08:43:52 AM 352 Views
I don't even know who that is. Rebekah - 08/06/2010 08:49:05 AM 593 Views

Additional freakish statistic: Spain have won 96% of matches under Vicente del Bosque. Liam - 08/06/2010 09:39:37 AM 602 Views
Is any national team good enough defensively to "pull an Inter"? Legolas - 08/06/2010 09:57:43 AM 651 Views
Italy? Monkey - 08/06/2010 10:05:20 AM 637 Views
Makes sense. They've done it before, and it's always the national team strategy... Michael - 08/06/2010 10:08:13 AM 595 Views
But that requires Italy to actually play well Monkey - 08/06/2010 10:21:39 AM 655 Views
Meh. Look at Italy's defenders. Legolas - 08/06/2010 10:24:27 AM 570 Views
Dear God, I hope you are right ironclad - 08/06/2010 10:28:24 AM 622 Views

Well, not quite in the same manner as Inter. That was, as you said, insane. Liam - 08/06/2010 10:37:45 AM 734 Views

I largely agree, but don't count Uruguay out. Legolas - 08/06/2010 10:01:10 AM 613 Views
My team won't win... Michael - 08/06/2010 10:06:57 AM 644 Views
That's not really your team though, is it? Monkey - 08/06/2010 10:25:44 AM 583 Views

I thought there might be a ritual sacrifice of vacuum cleaners to cleanse the game. Rebekah - 08/06/2010 02:13:22 PM 607 Views
More like a ritual sacrifice of French footballers Elaine - 08/06/2010 02:36:33 PM 669 Views
Oh, but if Drogba does play then Ivory Coast have a great shot at the quarters Monkey - 08/06/2010 10:15:05 AM 607 Views
That's like saying England would have a home advantage in Russia. *NM* Legolas - 08/06/2010 10:25:22 AM 346 Views

Did anyone read about North Korea's hilarious screw-up with their third keeper? Legolas - 08/06/2010 10:28:56 AM 591 Views
