Who do you like?
Germany looked very good today/or the Aussies were very bad.
I'm picking favoured Spain though. And whoever came up with the Vuvuzela should be tarred and feathered!

3 matches a day to watch! :mrgreen:

I love World Cup time!

The damned Vuvuzela noise on every single match has got so bad that I contemplated hitting the mute button.

Wasn't as bad during the England vs USA match. Shame ITV HD in the UK actually decided to cut to a break just before Steven Gerrard's goal.

Who's gonna win? Although I hate them with great passion, the Argentinians looked pretty good, if a little dodgy at the back. Spain did look good coming into the tournament, Germany played pretty well but I'll wait & see how Brasil & Italy do before I make a judgement.

And with no Wales or Canada to cheer on, I'm hoping the South Koreans, Japan & England do well.

Can you believe what happened between Argentina and Uruguay ?! (Disclaimer: if they haven't yet played, I might be referring to the last time they played). Or that other match where that one goal got recalled?! SCANDALOUS! And what is WITH those refs?

Sorry, hate soccer, its as boring as tennis and cricket. I am sure I will "p" off a few people with this but anytime I watch a sport where the wind from another player knocks down an opponant I wonder how good a sport it really is.

Well she was cheering England on and I told her to watch out, they play the U.S.A., she said that England would crush the US...hahahahaha, as for Australia....hahahahaha, I think Argentina is the cream of the crop, but watch out for the U.S.A. in the future....I watch some of the highlights for a good laugh sometimes. You know, like when the American player stepped on the ball and stayed down until he realized no foul would be called, and then complained...hahahahaha. Oh well Gridiron is starting up and in a few months, Lacross and hockey are back up...
