WORLD CUP 2010!!!

[Guest WarTiger]

Who is ready for the mighty England to give the USA a nice beatdown? 

Don't ban me, its only playful banter!

Honestly could are less. Soccer is a 3rd world sport.

I resent that, im not going to call you another arrogant or ignorant american BUT it was a very ignorant comment. Soccer is popular all over europe, south america, africa, asia AND USA.

I know. I was just ribbing you bub. But if I see another one of those Bono commericals on ESPN, I think I will scream.

Good luck to England. I wont be watching, so could care less if America wins.

There's no reason to post on a soccer thread about how much you dont care about soccer. Nobody cares about your opinion

And there is also no reason to respond to me when it is quite clear I was talking to aurules16.

i'm pretty sure you meant couldn't care less. if you could care less than that means that you care about it.. unless you really do care about it but i think you just had the phrase "couldn't care less" confused with "could care less". 

Ha ha. Well played sir.

Well Drogba broke his arm. Thats too bad, i was really looking forward to seeing him play. Ivory Coast has no shot now

[Bro Johnny Mac 1,394]

That stinks,Drogba is easily one of the top 2 or three stikers in the world.He does seem to have a 'diva' attitude,but his play is brilliant.Would have loved to see him play..

I don't think Italy stand a chance. They're team is too old.

Brazil are a popular pick and do have a chance i will agree.

The experts like Spain to win it all under Ronaldo's guidance. We need another Pele in US  :-\

then they are not "experts" lol...thanks

Spain doesnt have Ronaldo, but every player they have is strong. They have no weaknesses

[AUDynasty 585]

Other team worth watching would be Netherlands.

[Holland's Fro 0]

Other team worth watching would be Netherlands.

Thats my finals pick. Netherlands vs Spain

[AUDynasty 585]

how about Argentina with Messi?

[Holland's Fro 0]

how about Argentina with Messi?

I dont think their midfield play is good enough. I say they lose in the semis to Spain (if they both win their group, they end up in the same side of the bracket

I thought that was what you meant, but I couldn't pass up the chance to poke a little fun.  No harm/foul intended.

Also a funny primer on the teams in this year's WC.  It compares the teams to teams Americans may be familiar with so you can get a feel for what each team is bringing to the WC:
