It's here! With only weeks to go until the World Cup, I've decided to create a thread for it.
Here you can post predictions, thoughts and/or anything else you have to say about it so...
Discuss!
-
England or Italy FTW!
-
Go New Zealand (2000/1 underdogs)
-
Will Finland compete?
-
Go England!
-
Will Finland compete?
No:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_FIFA_World_Cup_qualification_–_UEFA_Group_4 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_FIFA_World_Cup_qualification_%E2%80%93_UEFA_Group_4)
-
i cannot wait for this!
-
I can.
-
I hate how it takes precedence over entirely everything. The only way the World Cup'll be pulled off the main headlines is if somebody blows something up.
-
I hope Italy win, despite the fact that I'm English.

The first match might be blown up. Apparently Al-Qaeda is planning to blow up England vs USA.
-
Sadly, I wouldn't doubt it.
-
I FRIKKIN HAYTE FRANCE
-
It's not their fault. It's the fault of the officials.
-
Netherlands should have won the European Cup 2 years ago based on their first 3 matches (beat current world cup holder Italy 3-0, losing finalist France 4-1 and gipsymonging Romania -can't remember I was drunk as a skunk- (got fired the next day as well)) if it weren't for Boulahrouz' daughter dying which made him play even crappier against Russia than ever.
We could win this thing, we have the best midfield-attack combination, but a very average defense 4.
-
COME ON ENGLAND!!!!
-
I remember watching and supporting the Dutch. They are awesome.
-
GK, you better hope Van Bommel, Van Persie and Kuyt dont get injured.
-
I want Italy to win this year.
-
In that case
Gillardino, Pirlo, Buffon and Del Piero
-
Hope Robben is fit to play
I'd like
--------------Kuyt
-Robben----------------Van Persie
------------Sneijder
------v. Bommel----De Zeeuw
to be the midfield and offense for us, but Robben is likely to play on the right making room for Babel or Elia on the left and putting Van Persie up front
-
Am i right in thinking your using Demi De Zeeuw in midfield.
Wish Cocu, and Bosvelt were still in the squad
-
Bosvelt? Wut? He was never worth sh** for us. With the defense of 1998 and the midfield/attack of now (maybe + Bergkamp) we would rock the world. Think of it
----------------Kuyt
-Robben--Sneijder-Bergkamp-Van Persie
-------------Van Bommel
-Bogarde-F. de Boer--Stam--Reiziger
---------------vd Sar
-
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

-Bogarde-F. de Boer--Stam--Reiziger
---------------vd Sar
Why Borgarde?
-
I'd say Spain should win this.
Torres should step up a gear after a crap season.
David Villa will have to prove hes worth, was it 34.5m?.

Cause nothing would creep Messi out like the fat nigger that Bogarde is.
-
i say spain will win (i hope)
-
And Rolo, you assume you'll face Argentina?
-
Hopefully Moldova will do well...
-
They're not in it either.
-
:FFFUUU
-
Apparently someone has staked £110,000 on France to win the World Cup at odds of 20/1. It is an each-way bet which could make a profit of £1.65m - which would be the biggest winning football bet of all time. tres courageux or tres stupide? I'll let you decide...
-
I`m not interested in it but I hope italy will not win this. someone has to tell those guys that the game (haha) is about to get the ball into the goal not lying around on the grass O.o. the winn over germany was cheap (even when I`m not for germany) and after that I wanted france to win but italy used the "lying-tatics" again. Very much liked Zidanes attack :)
-
Different perspectives on Zidane's header (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLjZydRDTAs#)
-
I do watch it, but if England doesn't win (Which will probably happen considering their record in the past), the only ones I hope don't win are Portugal or Argentina in particular.
-
Well, South Africa drew 1-1 with Mexico and Uruguay are playing France right now. I hope England do well. :)
@G.K. - I would laugh if France lost. :P
-
Predicting a USA upset of England. If we almost won the Confederations Cup, we can win now.

Soccer is a good sport but its probably the most boring to watch, so I think I'll ignore the world cup until something interesting happens.

I'm cheering for Aus (obviously) and all the underdogs :) also anyone playing against Italy lol

Im not saying its bad but after awhile a people running around kicking a ball gets a bit boring, but, yes, when someone is about to make a goal it does have suspense.

do you even watch sports?

Enjoy it while it lasts, those Yanks aren't winning this game.
-
Did anyone else miss England's goal? For some reason it went into an advert and then a black screen before returning to the game. Then England was celebrating. I saw the replay's, though.
COME ON ENGLAND!
-
AAAAAAARGH I hate these stupid advert breaks!

^QFT^
I just found out that it happened because I'm watching in HD...:(

Suppose. At the very least, we've still got some pretty easy pickings in our group.

Don't be so hatin' on Green. it was a freak goal that's probably ruined his career.

Well I don't think I should be, really. The guy did a good job of saving quite a lot of American shots.

So I don't totally get the system. Can USA and England both get out of their group?

But you guys don't get James Corden's World Cup Live. And that's got Katy Perry on it. That's enough.

And also, from scouring the Yahoo page on the match, you'd be amazed at the amount of Anti-British Douchebags on there.

I bet, that Italy wins. Temi bets, that England wins.
-
I bet that England reach the semi finals and lose on penalties to either Germany or Italy.

i guess i want the ivory coast to win, mostly because they're bright orange. however, so long as the good old u.s. of a destroys the dreams of a bunch of countries that actually care about soccer i'm pretty happy
-
Personally, I can't stand pro soccer (or football for everybody that cares). There's so much diving and faking injuries it's pathetic. As amazing athletes as they are, soccer (or football) players are just as big wimps. I just can't sit down to watch a sport that not only has a place in the game for diving, but actually encourages it for drawing penalties.
It's a shame too, because soccer (or football) is such a great sport at the minor/grassroots level and so much fun to play.
Go South Korea.

Anyway, 1-1. Not really what we needed.

True. You got pwned by Mexico. But Scotland failed to qualify, so it's more or less level.
Incidentally, Scotland have qualified for the World Cup finals 8 times, which isn't actually that bad. But we have also been knocked out in the first round of the World Cup 8 times. Which is a 100% record we'd perhaps prefer not to have.

Rooney was stupid, pathetic and lazy.

So, England need to win the next game against a team who BEAT Algeria.

Rooney's a berk.
As the current stream of threads say...
I'm Leaving.
...from England to somewhere decent.
-
Awesome goal by Sneijder!
-
I don't know why I even bother following the World Cup. England FAIL.
[/randomstupidness]
Yeah, I agree. Rooney was lazy and no one would shoot. Everyone was just passing it and passing and passing and passing...And then Gerrard gets a good chance...and he passes!
-
YES the Aussies have scored!
-
Naryar, what the hell is wrong with your team? First Anelka spots off and gets booted, then a mutiny on the practice field, and the team director resigns on the spot?
France must be thrilled.
-
It's not my team. It is merely a team that shares my nationality...
... and really they quite fail at aiming for the goal...

Crikey, it's looks like England's really up to their necks in it. I mean, first we've got Germany to beat. Then if we beat them, It'll most likely be Argentina. Then Spain. Then Brazil.
Heck.

Too right!
That was a clear goal!!!!11!!!! Have they ever heard of specsavers?
2-1 isn't too bad. As long as we get another goal, I'm happy.

I agree with G.K., that was totally unnecessary. Serves us right for building a crappy team around 1 person, and having a country that revolved around Club football rather than National. Blame the FA if anything.

goooooooaaaaal

What a goal by Tevez!

Yaay! Argentina won!
-
Maybe England is just sh*t at football. Anyone ever considered that possibility?
-
Hey NFX... England doesn't suck. Finland sucks in soccer, Finland has never been in World Cup.
-
Okay, admittedly they're not as bad as some teams, but they talk themselves up too much. I mean, in Scotland, I'm allowed to say the Scottish football team is rubbish, because the general concensus in Scotland is that the Scottish football team is rubbish. If I was in England, and I said the English football team, I'd probably get my head kicked in.

Netherlands leads Slovakia 1-0. Yaay. :smile:

I was expecting Holland to put up a fight but I didn't expect that they would WIN. :O
-
I knew they would win.
-
No! Ghana lost to Uruguay... Ghana played very well, and they had VERY bad luck at the end of the Extra Time. And in the penalties... Uruguay beat Ghana 4-2... :frown:
-
Maybe England is just sh*t at football. Anyone ever considered that possibility?
In some ways. Although when we lose, it's mainly either due to-
1) Penalties (AAAARGH)
2) Bad luck (Usually a pretty big factor)
3) Stupid amounts of hype for single games (Last week sound familiar?)
4) Getting screwed over by corrupt South American FIFA officials
5) Or in the case of this year, having a bunch of overpaid, over-the-hill has-beans who relied on one or two people to beat a small country
And we did win the World Cup one year, which I won't mention to avoid annoying non-English users, but I would say we were real good back then, and we still had the Empire at least :approve:
-
LOL @ the Empire. The key word in your final sentence was "had". ;)
Scotland has been an inventing and engineering land of awesome for the past couple of centuries. GO FALKIRK WHEEL. =D

Ah, but you didn't invent the Sinclair C5 now, did you? :approve:
Well, it's not called the MacDonald C5, is it?

Although admittedly, some of the few things I can recall that the Scots invented include-
- Kippers
- Marmalade
- Whisky
- Irn Bru

*Flamenco Dances with computer*
-
Whoa, that must have been the most boring much of the whole World Cup.
But yeah, Spain earned that goal. Germany played like a special ed team today.
-
On reflection, almost as bad as we were against them!
Thinking about it, I think England would've done better if they'd had nuns playing instead of the standard team! XD
-
are you just confodent for england or do you just dislike germany?
-
Nah, I was just confident for England. Nothing against the Germans really, I just got a bit wound up.
But seriously, Nuns...with football boots! = P
-
PAUL THE ORACLE OCTOPUS WAS RIGHT. ZEE GERMANS HAVE LOST :O
-
Quite remarkable, considering how the project was actually based in Germany =P
-
****ING OCTOPI, HOW DO THEY WORK?
And I don't know why the Germans played like that today. They must've went gay for Iker. XD
-
'cos Spain held Schweinsteiger up in midfield, restricted the runs of Oezil and Podolski to nonexistant, shut Klose off whenever he went anywhere. The Germans couldn't play their normal game. Mueller wasn't playing and Troichoski (sp) isn't as good a replacement (Low should have played Marko Marin).
-
Oh, I forgot about Muller. Darn.
-
Schweinsteiger is still the coolest sounding name in the whole World Cup.
This means that I'll be cheering for the Dutch in the finals.
-
Yaay! Spain beat Germany! *dances*
Spain WILL win Gold on this year, Bronze goes for Germany. :approve:
-
I'm backing the dutch. Because I can.
(And they used to be everywhere on my games)

Paul the Oracle Octopus of Germany has sucessfully predicted the outcomes of every single one of Germany's games*, including the shocking 1-0 defeat at the hands of Serbia. He is the single most powerful being in the entire universe - the physical manifestation of God on Earth. And he's a freaking octopus. Named Paul.
Apparently, the aquarium where he's housed is getting tons of death threats too. Ahh, what the World Cup can do to peaceful civilians...
*This only applies to Germany in the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. All prior results are null and void for the purposes of this argument. Therefore, SAGE UR ARGUMENT IS INVALID :O
-
He was wrong when he predicted Spain's win in the Euro cup.
-
The Mascot looks cute... That little Leopard. ^.^
-
Do you think he's World Cup Willie's South African cousin? XD
Anyway, I've seen Paul's predictions, and I'd say I'm happy about them!
-
He roots for Spain this time. Durnit.
-
Grah!

Oh well, it still depends really. If the Dutch play like crap, I wouldn't complain about it if they lose.
GO SNEIJDER!
-
if the dutch win, it will be vuvuzela terror here! i live in the netherlands and people have been making a lot of noise already. i actually don't want to know how bad it will get when the dutch team wins.
-
The octopus is useless.
-
YOU DO NOT INSULT PAUL!
-
Paul?
-
The Octopus.
-
Yeah! Paul is very useful.
-
I'm still backing Holland. The octopus is a fluke, it doesn't know the first thing that's going on...
-
Someone put a poll here so we can vote for each team.
-
Lololololol Paul couldn't make up his mind for the runner-up match, but ended up siding with Germany after 15 minutes.
-
I havn't been keeping up, whos in the lead? and who's playing next?
I HOPE NO ONE GETS TRIPPED DUR DUR

GO PAUL!
-
Paul really was right... Germany beat Uruguay!
-
He's a goddamn octopus, he doesn't know what's going on! Maybe he just likes the colour yellow!
-
i completely agree there. octopuses don't see the future.
-
Looks like it's about to start.
-
There's no returning back! Here we go boys!
-
any place i can watch this live on my pc? i'm to lazy to walk downstairs now.

My dear penguins, we stand on a great threshold! It's okay to be scared; many of you won't be coming back. Thanks to Batman, the time has come to punish all of God's children! First, second, third and fourth-born! Why be biased?! Male and female! Hell, the sexes are equal, with their erogenous zones BLOWN SKY-HIGH!
FORWAAAAAAAAAAAAAARD MARCH! THE LIBERATION OF GOTHAM HAS BEGUN!
*Ahem* Sorry, that's what it reminded me of...
-

I use BBC Sport's live stream, I don't know if this is location specific.
-
found the site, can't find the streamed vid.

Has a time delay of about 15-20 seconds.
-
damn that page. it doesn't give any video in any way.
-
OK, maybe you need to be in the UK.
LOL, Goalie fail
Van Persie was too nice for a world cup final
-
found a dutch site. finally
-
0-0 after first round...
-
i saw. first thing i heard when i got the live stream were vuvuzela's! how damn annoying!
-
Stupid cheating Spain.
-
YES! Spain has beaten Netherlands! :party
-
It is not a cause to celebrate. Spain cheated their way through the match, bribed the ref and were unsportsmanly after the dutch were sporting earlier in the game.
I'm getting like ACAMS in politics, aren't I? XD
-
Paul did it again.
-
Yes he did.
-
SPAIN! SPAIN! SPAAIN!
-
*runs after jonzu with a scythe*
anyway, those spanish were falling a bit to much for my taste. i think GK may be right there somewhere.
-
No He wasn't. I really lol'd, when Netherland Players got yellow cards. :laughing
-
I agree with GK... :(
-
*slashes jonzu's right leg off with scythe*
lets see how much you will lol now.
-
SPAIN! SPAIN! SPAAIN! :danc2
-
seems i'm not done with you yet. prepare to lose more limbs!
-
*Watches as Jonzu is torn to pieces by Powerrave*
-
*laughs like a maniac while slashing into jonzu more and more with the scythe*
hope your enjoying it.
-
GF93! Help me!
-
*Continues watching with an inhuman, emotionless face*
-
more victims?
-
GF... Help...
-
Probably.
(Although I think it's better to not support any team in any sport. Makes my life easier.)
-
and saves some lifes to...
*slashes jonzu's head off*
oops.. GF93, help him please, i need another victim. and this time it has nothing to do with sports, just personal pleasure.
-
*dies and won't come back to GTM...*
-
"TIGER.....DESTRUCTION!"
*Knocks out Powerrave's teeth and sends him flying, causing him to hit a wall and crush his head*
Then GF93 flies in and resurrects Jonzu with a 1-up Mushroom, bringing him back to life :yaya)
For reference, this is a Tiger Destruction-

SPAIN! SPAIN! SPAAIN! *hugs Gf93*
-
At least I'll stop hearing about that goddamn octopus.
-
SPAIN! SPAIN! SPAAIN! *hugs Gf93*
"Venga, venga! ¿Qué pasa? ¿Quieres más? PERFECTO!"
And NFX? Paul has predicted that I'm about to go get myself an Ice Cream Sandwich. He was correct.
-
He didn't predict anything, he swam about. He swam about a bit. He'll most likely be chopped into 24 pieces and served with wasabi.
-
Still, his last prediction was the most accurate of all.
*Munches on Ice Cream Sandwich*
-
Well except when one of the Netherland player (I forgot) did a FALCAWN kick, that might be the only REAL penalty.
-
There's no such thing as a ' most accurate' prediction in what he did, dude. If you want accurate, Paul should've done the scores as well. :P
Anyway, I'm quite sad that Holland lost, but the Falcon kick was too funny ahahahahhahahaha
-
*respawns andstarts slashing at GF93 and Jonzu like a madman.*
-
*ties SotG* :evilsmile:
-
*tears of you head and cuts the tow. then gets to hunting down and destroying GF93*
-
Not that I really care but, is this the world cup thread or forum combat thread?
-
isn't that the same thing?
-
*Grabs Powerrave and throws him into the ground with the force of a speeding train crashing into a melon, before leaping up and vapourising him with a Kamehameha*
-
*creates a portal in front of self and another right behind GF93, redirecting the blast straight at him. meanwhile getting the scythe back in hand.*
-
Slow this spam train down, guys.
------------------
Alonso broke his ribs from that kick in the chest and he could put charges against the player for bodily harm.
Anyway, Spain didn't deserve to win. I mean, losing to Switzerland?!
-
my guess: the player from the Netherlands is part octopus, predicted who would win and took his frustrations out part way in the match
