World Cup

South Africa: Saturday coming

England vs USA

Do Americans like their steaks as with their national soccer team victories: rare?

I jest of course. Good luck to both sides on Saturday :biggrin1:

Shame this thread it dying, the world cup is one day away guys and girls, is nobody interested in one of the biggest sporting events in the world?.

Either peeps are waiting for it all to kick off before getting talkative about it with post match euphoria or disbelief OR the guys on this site are mostly interested in a different kind of ball playing.

So which English superstar will bottle it this time? My money's on Lampard

Their was always a huge build up to the world cup in recent years, does not seem to be happening with this one or is it just me. Im excited, ive told the wife I love her and that she is banned from touching the remote control for a month.

 

[iian1972]

SBAT how dare you, Frank never lol. He never lets us down.

 

[Pandora77]

Oh, I am very excited for the World Cup to start and will be waching most games, as usual. I just don't care for the US soccer team and if they win or not.

 

[iian1972]

Pandora their is a good chance Germany and England could meet in the Quarters that would be a great battle.

 

[iian1972]

Sorry no, not the quarters the second round even.

 

[Pandora77]

I know. That would be a great game!
I follow the World Cup every year, ever since I was like 12 years old, and I think I still have the results somewhere written down from every game in every World Cup.
Of course for me, as german, the last World Cup in Germany was the best one ever, the weather and the atmosphere were brilliant, even though I didn't get to see a Game live.
It was a summer I'll never forget :smile:

Pretty positive considering Ballack's out and a few injuries have pretty much picked Jogi's 23 for him. Beckenbaur's been pretty upbeat, saying Ballack's injury has balanced the squad. But that may also be because expectations aren't that high for this team, being so young and "inexperienced."

 

[iian1972]

Nice to hear a country backing their team, the UK rags are already saying are guys should stay at home.

And I couldn't care less about the German team and whether they win or not :smile:

I remember a Gerrard quote in response to the question of "Is it all over if Rooney gets injured"...it was something like

"What are the rest of us? Crap?"

Actually, England football reminds me of a guy with a large but not huge penis who thinks he is small because he hangs out with guys sporting 10 inchers.

I hope Fabio plays Steve with Frank, not many agree but they are two fantastic players and if they gel they could scores us a lots of goal with Rooney and the lanky git up front. And if the defence does its job we could be unstoppable

True, you lot have a good team! But I have to say, for as tall as Crouch is, he's rubbish at headers

 

[iian1972]

Crouchs run in the English team tho has been very good, must admit he is not my favorite player but as soon as he puts the shirt on he seems to come to life for England.

 

[Pandora77]

Oh, of course everybody's saying that our team will be doing great. Yes, the press and all germans are backing their team, and to be honest, I personally never found Ballack to be such a good player. I don't think him not playing will highly affect us. Time to let the young and talented players have their chance.
Germany might not be favourite this time, but they always give 100% at World Cups and usually do pretty good.
I mean we have won 3 times so far and would like to have a fourth star/win.

I also cheer for Brazil, like in every World Cup.
Not sure how good their team is this year, but I still have my Brazil shirt- and my german one.
