Lol we have got the USA first match
should be a walk over hahahahaha

Actually, I think the USA has a decent chance if the player's claims about the new ball are true. According to quite a few reports made by various players, this year's ball moves unnaturally through the air which makes it significantly harder for goalies to predict where it'll end up. (Although, you really have to take what they say with a grain of salt because the balls are criticized every year. They're not necessarily worse, just a bit different.)

We'll see.. I still think I'm rooting for England though. ;D

I'd bet that if England lose their match to USA, they'll probably blame it on the ball

 

[lilkdub503]

Go go USA!

 

[Yes We Can!]

So yesterday Germany had it's last test game before WC starts and they won 3-1 against Bosnia-Herzogowina

Btw: Does anyone of you guys collect the panini stickers I do

I agree with masterofthebass legend! Congratulations, great sense of humour, respect.
Hoping for the unbanning of notUSA and for interesting political discussions on this forum;
many warm regards to SS Ministor of the Interior shelley, you're cute, but you really should
not be censoring my posts and closing all the quite interesting political threads started...
Meanwhile, readers disappointed by the censor(s) can find important information at

Well... I'm supporting New Zealand first, Holland second, Brazil third.

I'm not being patriotic; I was bought up playing soccer and I love the sport and it's good to see it becoming big over here. This is a really good opportunity for some of our boys to get into big clubs. Some of them certainly deserve to get noticed.

Why Holland? I don't know, they were the team that I supported in the first World Cup I watched and I've stuck with them ever since.

Why Brazil? Because they are the most exciting team to watch and deserve to win.

This competition is pretty open at the moment, although I'm going to say now that Brazil are sure finalists.

It's going to be great . Unfortunately, games happen during the night here >.< . If I wanted to watch live I'd have to be up from 1am-10am every day and sleep after >.<

Today Slovenia VS New Zealand :fp

I wasn't trying to make excuses, I was merely pointing out what some players have said. It hasn't been all US players, btw.

Here are a few examples.

"It's very weird," Brazil striker Luis Fabiano said Sunday. "All of a sudden it changes trajectory on you."
Brazil goalkeeper Julio Cesar on Saturday called the ball "terrible" and was the first to compare it to those plastic ones bought on a supermarket.
Italy striker Giampaolo Pazzini said the same thing, calling it a "disaster." "It moves so much and makes it difficult to control. You jump up to head a cross and suddenly the ball will move and you miss it," Pazzini said. "It is especially bad for the goalkeepers if it means they concede a goal because they can't judge the trajectory."
Spain goalkeeper Iker Casillas also expressed his anger at the design of the ball after the European champion's 3-2 friendly win over Saudi Arabia on Saturday.

So what? Everyone plays with the same goofy ball.
It doesn't matter to us Serbs; we're superior anyway

Football is fael.

Heathen!

We'll see.. I still think I'm rooting for England though. ;D

It matters because if everyone's playing "with the same goofy ball" then there's a point where luck matters more than skill because nobody's used to the ball.

Anyway, can someone just IP ban this guy already? lol.

Today Slovenia VS New Zealand :fp

Whoa you might wanna be careful. The All Whites don't have much in the way of Maori.

It was a good game with a scoreline that didn't quite reflect how well we did. And of course unfortunate poor refereeing which gave Novakovic a free kick from right out front which he clearly dived.

Q: How come that so-called Bosna and Hercegovina did not qualify for the WC?

A: They were playing with the second team. Their first team plays ...
