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. - 08/06/2010 08:21:03 AM 1100 Views
They do have history, that's for sure - 08/06/2010 09:27:10 AM 653 Views
You forgot: Ballack's out! - 08/06/2010 08:21:57 AM 785 Views
I did! It's an anti-Chelsea conspiracy! - 08/06/2010 09:30:45 AM 652 Views
Robben is hopefully not out - he's coming to SA, anyway. - 08/06/2010 08:24:21 AM 665 Views
New Zealand's going to win! - 08/06/2010 08:30:48 AM 679 Views

Additional freakish statistic: Spain have won 96% of matches under Vicente del Bosque. - 08/06/2010 09:39:37 AM 663 Views
Is any national team good enough defensively to "pull an Inter"? - 08/06/2010 09:57:43 AM 715 Views
Italy? - 08/06/2010 10:05:20 AM 714 Views
Makes sense. They've done it before, and it's always the national team strategy... - 08/06/2010 10:08:13 AM 659 Views
But that requires Italy to actually play well - 08/06/2010 10:21:39 AM 723 Views
Meh. Look at Italy's defenders. - 08/06/2010 10:24:27 AM 631 Views
Dear God, I hope you are right - 08/06/2010 10:28:24 AM 692 Views

Re: ... What?? - 08/06/2010 10:36:08 AM 679 Views
Well, not quite in the same manner as Inter. That was, as you said, insane. - 08/06/2010 10:37:45 AM 795 Views
Heh - 08/06/2010 10:38:55 AM 629 Views
Let's do a group by group analysis - 08/06/2010 09:44:42 AM 925 Views
I largely agree, but don't count Uruguay out. - 08/06/2010 10:01:10 AM 673 Views
My team won't win... - 08/06/2010 10:06:57 AM 702 Views
That's not really your team though, is it? - 08/06/2010 10:25:44 AM 652 Views
- 08/06/2010 01:54:21 PM 657 Views
Which raises the question... - 08/06/2010 01:55:43 PM 646 Views

Oh, but if Drogba does play then Ivory Coast have a great shot at the quarters - 08/06/2010 10:15:05 AM 666 Views
That's like saying England would have a home advantage in Russia. *NM* - 08/06/2010 10:25:22 AM 375 Views
Well - 08/06/2010 10:34:40 AM 634 Views
