new zealand in 6!

I'm picking Argentina but I also like Spain a lot. Argentina would have a better chance if they had a real manager.

USA vs. England Baby!


Or, Echo Zulu vs. Bootneck part 2.

80:1 for the USA? Talk about favorable odds if you won.

 

[Dr Grump]

Going for NZ first of course
Then Oz
Then the Mother Country....

I will cheer for whoever wins tomorrow (USA/England) then when they lose whoever Toro and LK and Dr.Grump want to win, since I don't really care after that.


So you boys let me know! I am going to try and catch some games on the telly!

My heritage is English and I've always rooted for England, but since America is my adopted country, I can't cheer against the US. So here's hoping for a draw!

That a game as boring as soccer is the biggest sporting event on the planet does not give me much hope for the human race.

And the fact that tens of thousands of people will actually fight over said boring soccer game is even more disheartening.

England always lose their first game!

I put £10 on the USA to win.

Ahhh, the world cup. I AM SO EXCITED!!!!! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S HERE!!!! Last cup I was still in high school so I got to watch basically every single game that summer; sadly won't be the case this time around.

I'd be happy if Spain finally won, they're incredible! Nevertheless, I'll likely be rooting for all our sister republics here in the continent to do well, especially Argentina, then Mexico... Still have a mild grudge against Honduras and Uruguay for keeping us out of the Cup (I'm Costa Rican). =\

I can tell you who I'm rooting AGAINST though, haha: Brazil, Italy, and US. Pretty much always root against those.

The fucking Argies only win when God's on their side. He ain't. They're doomed. Spain are crap and Mexico, well,

If it can't be the USA, then I'm backing England.

This should be good: the only three teams I'm following are Brasil, Italy and USA

Funny quote from British journalist, Toby Young "If Obama wants to know about kicking ass, tell him to watch England beat the USA on Saturday."
