I see quite a lot of Germans in this forum. Are any of you actually going to watch a match??
We will get ze germans this time. We still haven't forgiven them 194- damn I do it again. 1974.
Well maybe England can so a bit better than a penalty shoot out loss, but I think that would be a fools hope.
Let's see if Norway wins against Italy at 4th June...which we of course won't. Will be interesting to see which Italians will be doing acting lessons during the match. Damn wussies falling down all the time!! :furious3:
But yeah, World Cup 2006 will be fun, and I'll be watching.

I watched Euro 2004 during military service. Nice atmosphere when the entire barracks was crammed in the barracks living room watching the games.
Just put all the men in front of your goal. It would be a great staring contest ~;)Quote:

Actually, a person from the BigSoccer forum predicted that Norway and Italy wil tie 1:1.Quote:

Plus I have a good feeling Korea will snatch the WC miraculously defeating Germany during the final (3:2) ~D ~D ~D
I think Brazil. They have some good youngsters who I think will be playing in the World Cup.
England might do a little better this ear, but I still don't think that they'll win it.
Holland, de beste!! :party2: :party3: :pumpkin: :dunce: :dunce2: :party: :mad:
Isn't England playing the US. Is that to do with the world cup?
I think that everyone in England will get behind the team, only for us to bomb out in the quarter-finals. As usual, the bloody Brazilians will win.
England will hopefully win but i think we should try 5 at the back with Terry, Campbell and big Rio with Neville and Cole as wing backs. I tell you no one would get past that defense ~D .

Sorry folks, but a WorldCup in Germany - only Germany can win.
Sure I will watch all games. However, I think I will not have a chance to get into one of the new stadions. I do not like the way they sell their tickets :furious3:
I hope England do well for a change. With the quality and depth of talent in the present England squad I think they finally have the team that was always being promised in 4 years time for the past 16 years.
The problem with England is that although they claim to be unlucky in penalty shoot-outs, but look at the facts:
E 2004:
Finish 2nd in group. Lucky to reach penalty shoot-out against Portugal. Lose.
W 2002:
Finish 2nd in group - played well against Sweden for a draw, got a scrappy 1-0 win against Argentina requiring a penalty, played a boring 0-0 draw with Nigeria. Beat a poor Denmark 3-0. Played an exciting first half and then a terrible second half to crash out to Brazil 2-1.
E 2000:
Finish 3rd in group - throw away a great lead against Portugal, beat a dire Germany and then throw it away again against Romania.
W 1998:
Finish 2nd in group - beat Tunisia and Columbia easily enough, but lose to Romania. Eliminated in a gripping game against Argentina on penalties.
E 1996:
Finish **1st** in group - embarrassinly draw with Switzerland, but then beat Scotland and stuff the Netherlands. Hold on against Spain to win on a **penalty shoot out**. Lose to Germany on a penalty shoot out.
England haven't won their group since 1996 - when they were the hosts. If they can't win their group, they cannot expect to win the competition easily.
Do not call in unlucky, call it destinyQuote:

I really feel although England fans tend to hype up the team saying 'were going to win this time' i never listened since Italia 90 when we really did have a good team.
But this time i would argue we have the best form team in the world.
Defense :On form there would be no space for Campbell and hes a fantastic defender . Terry is one of the best centre backs in the world at the moment
we also arguably have the best left back in the world Ashley Cole
Midfield :Lampard and Gerrard (champions league winning captain) are the two best midfielders in the world ,and Beckham is still the best free kick taker in the world, and Joe Cole has been playing well this year
sTRIKERS: Owen is a proven finisher , and Rooney (what can i say)
On form we are with Brazil the best team in the world and i am looking foward to 2006 Germany
do we know the draws yet? i'll have to see the groups before i can make any solid predictions. but keep an eye on the czech republic.
Come on !!!!!!!!Quote:

Dont remind me of how they got to the final in 2002 .Talk about outragoius luck. Germany faced s.korea and u.s.a on the way to the final. despite loosing to engalnd in qualifying 5-1
What?!?! No room for Campbell? I really hope you aren't thinking about Rio/Terry centre-back combination. Rio Ferdinand is nowhere near as good as Campbell, he is an overpaid, overrated player.Quote:

Even the best team in a World Cup only has around a 20% chance of success (if you listen to the bookies or statisticians), which means there is 80% chance of failure.

Ferdinand is overrated. Carrager is much better than him. It looks like he is actually works hard for the team.
Did you see the final? He had cramp in his groin and a minute later he had to strech out his leg to stop a cross. Thats a real player.

It's the same old song again: the excitement of the Premiership has led the English to believe they must have a world-class squad. Sorry to break the news lads, but Brazil, Argentina, Portugal, the Netherlands, the Czech Republic, France, Italy and Spain outclass the English almost player for player.
And dump Eriksson - he's a natural born loser. He spends more time making up excuses than thinking up a winning battle plan. Come to think of if, why don't you slip Mourinho or Rafa Benitez a few million to take over just for the World Cup? That would give England a fighting chance...
But, alas, France won't win either. The old hero's have quit, and it's too early for the new generation. My money is on yet another - oh the horror of it all - Germany/Italy vs Brazil final.

lol, I just realized that the match between USA vs England was actually USA A team vs England B team. England still won 2:1 i think.
Yeah i know Gary Neville ain't great but thank god his brother hardly plays ~D
I wouldn't say it was England B team
It was More England U21 with 3 regulars
BKB: God, I laughed so much when Phil Neville saw red and hacked down the Romanian player to put them out. ~:cheers:

Ooh, I didn't laugh at the time :angry: :furious:, but looking back on it now, it's pretty funny.
For soccer there are but 3 words I will type (and a smiley): Deutschland Uber Alles ~:cool:
At that moment, I personally declared a Fattwa against Phil Neville.
I personally guarentee paradise to any man that destroys him.

Carragher Gerrard
and Lampard Terry
not to mention Joe Cole

From latest news it sounds like Figo isn't going to have a club soon. Real seem to want rid of him and he want to leave Real.
He'll probably go to Tottenham though.
Well, maybe Figo want's to return to his homeland and to his club, that is Sporting Lisbon! ~D
Perhaps you get the chance if you qualify this time ~D ~DQuote:

I don't know, I'v never tried cheese rolling. Might have to sometime, though. What kind of cheese would you recommend?Quote:

I've seen the thread, but I don't know which cheese I should learn with. :winkg:
I'd recommend a good round firm cheese. The cheese of true champions is Double Gloucester. I'm not sure if you can get that outside the UK, I've never seen it on my travels.
I am now leaving to eat dinner. Everyone make lots of new posts for me to spam, ok?! ~:cheers:
