Not expecting too much from the Holland-Cameroon match. Holland is through, and Cameroon is out whatever the outcome.

More interested in Denmark-Japan in the same pool.
Unless I'm mistaken, if Holland loses, that game could still determine whether they play against Slovenia or Paraguay in the 1/8s.
And then I'd prefer Slovenia.

Slovakia, not Slovenia
I know, it's confusing with all the -ia's around.

The missus is happy about spain. i'm glad they could be staying in.

[xer0s]

Gotta keep the missus happy.

They're through, but didn't really look impressive. Villa's goal was a bit lucky, but still a good effort making it from that distance. Iniesta's goal and its leadup was the only flash of brilliance I saw. Aside from that, they were pretty average, losing most challenges and some very ordinary passing. Chile was unlucky to get the red card. Meh.

[seremtan]

lol, what was the chilean keeper doing there?

[Doombrain]

apart from that keeper, i'm looking forward to watching chile again. tenacious little fuckers, aren't they?

[Nightshade]

lol, knocked out by the Ghanadiens again. Where the fuck is Ghanada anyways?

[Hannibal]

Without fail we have our head up our asses for the first 20 min or so in every match...shit caught up with us.

WWII tomorrow, so I'll root for England.

[seremtan]

now america can go back to dismissing "soccer" as stupid, low scoring, full of cheating euros, etc

[Nightshade]

Yes, exactly. Don't forget the "mulleted fags in silky shorts" bit, either.

[seremtan]

lol, did the TV signal of the 1982 world cup only just reach you?

[Tsakali]

lol @ people getting their feelings hurt by the US soccer team

[Nightshade]

'Twas Ghanarrhea what put the US out of the World Cup.

I think some americans even call it 'soccerball'.

[menkent]

[losCHUNK]

[Don Carlos]

USA looked broken by the 110th minute

They played the same game they've been playing. I still watched with hope, but I don't think they were robbed or anything.

Good show.

Gary Lineker:
"Football is a simple game; 22 men chase a ball for 90 minutes, and at the end the Germans always win."

End of discussion.



My prognosis: GER 6 : ENG 5 after penalties.

[Ryoki]

2-0 for germany

cuz they wants it moar

[menkent]

the real question is who rooney will take a swing at to get himself redcarded

[Doombrain]

2-0 for germany

cuz they wants it moar

fffuuuuuu-----

[seremtan]

2-0

ok then, prediction time. i'm going to go with 3-2 to the krauts AET, and at least one of those 5 goals will be a penalty (probably england). scorers will be klose (2), schweinsteiger, gerrard and defoe. klose will get the ET goal that sinks england

anyone else sufficiently non-slackjawed & faggoty to make a prediction about scoreline/goalscorers?
