Meh, my prediction was almost right...... a 2-1 win to Argentina. Riqeulma (spl?) was on excellent form tonight. Almost all his passes reached their intended destinations. He'll carry the team far. |

That's my predictions. I think Germany will win, and England will get 3rd place. |

TheGecko has a point. England couldn't manage to score a single goal against Portugal. Beating Brazil would be difficult if that's your skill level. |

I'm an American. I don't care about soccer.
Okay, okay, chill. I know it's a big to-do for the rest of the world. It's like the Olympics plus the World Series plus the birth of your first child. Multiplied by X where X = Awesome. I'll go with Brazil. Cause of Pele. |

I missed out on this. Since I'm American, I guess I'm just gonna go woot for America. But Brazil or another country like them are still gonna win. |

How do you get the table? I can't find it. EDIT: Oh, and I found This. Everyone thinks Australia has no chance....Not everyone agrees. See, this video makes me want to replace History with BTG. Stuff History. Go Socceroos. |

It's pretty dumb actually. Over here, everyone seems to be like "Yay! They won their first match! They're gonna win!" I mean... wasn't it an own goal anyway? So technically, they didn't score at all.. Bleh. They're definitely not going to beat Brazil, not unless Brazil feel like own-goaling that day. Edit: Well, I'm confused. Some say England *did* score, others said it was an own goal... I didn't watch it myself so can anyone tell me what actually happened?

But yeah, it looks like it was an own goal that helped them win. They've had a shaky start, because one of their top players, Wayne Rooney, had to sit that match out due to injury. But definately they shouldn't be dismissed yet - they've a very strong team this year. |

Weeelll....... we'll see about that. But England has a very strong team this year: Paul Robinson, Rio Ferdinand, David Beckham, Wayne Rooney, Michael Owen, Sol Campbell - they're all world-class players. I think they'll start to show their true form when Rooney shakes off his injury. Anyway, I'll be watching the Italy v Ghana match tonight. Mostly, I want to see if Italy's current team are as bad as everyone says they are. And with any luck, Australia will pull off their first victory today as well today. |

The USA-Czech Republic game SUCKED! 3-0 Czechs. They cheated, & the ref made some bad calls. All we need is to win our other 2 matches for a chance at the top 2. |

Croatia? Pfft! They're just as good as Japan. We'll have a red hot go at them all! Although I just realised that if we get second, we play the 1st placed team in the group of USA, Italy, Czech, and Ghana. |

My bad; I was reading my friend Dallin's weird rants. 
But reading the summary of the game on Yahoo, it sounds like our team just wasn't aggressive enough. *sigh* We'll just really have to step it up against Italy & Ghana. |

Arg. The World Cup makes me mad. On Friday we (myself, the Botfriend and a friend of ours) drove down to Kingston (about a 6 1/2 hour drive) for a wedding. We had to leave here at 5AM because our friend wanted to watch the first game at noon. We didn't even have anywhere to go until 9PM. Soccer makes people crazy!! |

I will say two things about this topic. 1) I'm in the US, so I call it soccer. 2) I can't stand soccer. The fact that people pay thousands of dollars for the great thrilling scores of 1-0. No thanks, not for me. |

France & Switzerland tied at zero apiece today. It was still a great game, full of close calls on both sides. |

And the Aussies take the lead, or at least for now, after Brazil surprisingly just beat Croatia. |
