Re: The unofficial World Cup Thread,
The vuvuzelas are the chants for Africans. They've probably been complaining about having to listen to the droning sound of "IN-GER-LAND" for years. It's something a bit different. If it bothers you so much, mute the TV. The commentary is hardly insightful or interesting so you're not missing much.

Some predictions:
Netherlands 2 - 0 Denmark
Japan 0 - 1 Cameroon
Italy 2 - 1 Paraguay
Robinho top scorer.
England to not go out on penalties and go out at the quarter finals.
Don't think there will be a Dutch collapse, I think they'll go out to Brazil but play well throughout the tournament.
Ronaldo to score 2.
Maradona's biggest mistake/downfall will be continuing to play Gutierrez at right-back.

Re: The unofficial World Cup Thread,
Let me just note here for eternity that I laugh at all the silly Australians that thought we were soccer gods.
The media will just make this a minor setback though.
Re: The unofficial World Cup Thread,
Seems I was too conservative with Germany. But, I'm glad I got the right results this time round. Funny, everyone here is devastated, as if they didn't realise that Germany are about 10 times better than Australia.

Re: The unofficial World Cup Thread,
They need to ban that horrid instrument of torture, the vuvuzela.
It can't be compared to chanting or singing or anything but continuously blowing an airhorn because it's the same, constant drone.
There's no increase in volume when a goal is scored, no brief pause for a lucky save. Just the constant, unchanging drone that just makes it hard to enjoy the game.
Get rid of the wretched, meaningless, noise.
(Also, I predict The Netherlands, Japan, and Italy for winners)

Re: The unofficial World Cup Thread,
Thankyou for keeping tally johnhughthom
Nah then....
Netherlands 2 - 0 Denmark
Japan 0 - 1 Cameroon
Italy 1 - 0 Paraguay
There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

I'll bet for Japan because its Japan. Not a fan of the current team though
Hope they prove me wrong.

Sadly, there is more truth to the headline than there should be.....
Pretty much a gift from the "footie dieties" to us on this side of the pond.

Re: The unofficial World Cup Thread,
Yo, Beefy, I've read that Uchida signed for Schalke 04. What can you tell me about the player ?
Re: The unofficial World Cup Thread,
He played for Kashima Antlers (My Team! The best in Japan!) and he is by far the sexiest player in Japanese National Team
Pretty fast RB, with a decent crossing skill. His good at attacking but his often criticized for his defence skill.
I hope he plays tonight
