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 1112 Views
They do have history, that's for sure Monkey - 08/06/2010 09:27:10 AM 665 Views
You forgot: Ballack's out! ironclad - 08/06/2010 08:21:57 AM 801 Views
I did! It's an anti-Chelsea conspiracy! Monkey - 08/06/2010 09:30:45 AM 667 Views
Robben is hopefully not out - he's coming to SA, anyway. Legolas - 08/06/2010 08:24:21 AM 682 Views
New Zealand's going to win! Rebekah - 08/06/2010 08:30:48 AM 695 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 390 Views
I don't even know who that is. Rebekah - 08/06/2010 08:49:05 AM 672 Views

Additional freakish statistic: Spain have won 96% of matches under Vicente del Bosque. Liam - 08/06/2010 09:39:37 AM 677 Views
Is any national team good enough defensively to "pull an Inter"? Legolas - 08/06/2010 09:57:43 AM 729 Views
Italy? Monkey - 08/06/2010 10:05:20 AM 737 Views
Makes sense. They've done it before, and it's always the national team strategy... Michael - 08/06/2010 10:08:13 AM 674 Views
But that requires Italy to actually play well Monkey - 08/06/2010 10:21:39 AM 739 Views
Meh. Look at Italy's defenders. Legolas - 08/06/2010 10:24:27 AM 649 Views
Dear God, I hope you are right ironclad - 08/06/2010 10:28:24 AM 709 Views

Re: ... What?? ironclad - 08/06/2010 10:36:08 AM 696 Views
Well, not quite in the same manner as Inter. That was, as you said, insane. Liam - 08/06/2010 10:37:45 AM 806 Views
Heh ironclad - 08/06/2010 10:38:55 AM 643 Views

I largely agree, but don't count Uruguay out. Legolas - 08/06/2010 10:01:10 AM 687 Views
My team won't win... Michael - 08/06/2010 10:06:57 AM 719 Views
That's not really your team though, is it? Monkey - 08/06/2010 10:25:44 AM 667 Views

I thought there might be a ritual sacrifice of vacuum cleaners to cleanse the game. Rebekah - 08/06/2010 02:13:22 PM 686 Views
More like a ritual sacrifice of French footballers Elaine - 08/06/2010 02:36:33 PM 749 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 684 Views
That's like saying England would have a home advantage in Russia. *NM* Legolas - 08/06/2010 10:25:22 AM 385 Views

Did anyone read about North Korea's hilarious screw-up with their third keeper? Legolas - 08/06/2010 10:28:56 AM 670 Views
