********** said:I don't wish injury on anyone.
********** said:I have the absolute same problem with the Ivory-Holland-Argentina combination. Argentina would have been one of my faves, especially if they play Tevez and Messi, and Milito at the back, and Aimar... some of the best players alive... yet, I have to root for only two teams in that group. So sad.
What's more, I'm a big Iran fan and I like Mexico and esp. Portugal, and the winners of those two groups face each other in the QFs. Meanwhile France, Spain, Ukraine, maybe Switzerland or Korea... two of them will go to the Quarter Finals...
It's okay not to like England, Iran, Saudi... I can completely understand why you wouldn't, and if I wasn't from two of those places I might dislike all three of them. I hate America's government but I still like their team, though. And for what it's worth, the Iranian team is very opposed to the Iranian regime. In fact, when the Iranian premier visited Azadi (the 100,000 cauldron in Teheran) for one of the qualifiers, the entire crowd buzzed and hissed and booed him. It was very embarrassing. Iranians do not love their leader or his actions by any stretch of the imagination. Football is one of the sole methods of dissidence! That makes me want my Melli (that's what we call the Iranian national team) to do even more well...
So Calm, you have to pick between Ivory, Argentina and Holland... only 2 can make it... which 2? And who to win the trophy overall, if you could choose?
You should sign up for the cool predictions game I'm doing. It's free. It tells you how to do it further up the "world cup 2006" thread.
Friday is now only THREE DAYS AWAY!!!
C'mon Deutschland!!! How depressing will the Poland Ecuador game be, for me, if Germany has already suffered a home loss. Poor lads.

jumbo_jim said:Glad to see your not bitter. It was a fair tackle on Rooney. I was wondering why a lot of people want England to do so poorly then I read your post. Suppose you agree with Ian Wright about diving. "If they do it to us, we might as well do it to them" then you'll be the first to complain if you get eliminated by a dodgy decision.
jumbo_jim said:so surely that means we won that World Cup
********** said:I don't blame Paulo F. for that. I blame that old bastard Ferguson. He's brilliant, but he's a brilliant bastard. You're 3-0 down, Chelsea have won the league, and Rooney's going to be the star of the world cup. But you don't care. You know he'll go all out and try and fight in vain for a consolation goal. But you leave him out there. You don't care.
And then once he's hurt you do everything in your power to stop Rooney going to the world cup... but he's going, and he's playing, and Ferguson can piss off. If he costs Rooney his world cup place, I'll never forgive the bastard.
He was never as good a manager as Dalglish anyway. Never.

It is more popular in the U.S. than You think.I love football/soccer...............We have to kill that..football/soccer---I think Football and American Football ---Roald said:I know soccer/football isn't as popular in the US as in a lot of other countries so thats why I was wondering, are you going to watch it? And if yes wich team will you support?
If not, why not?

********** said:What about David Moyes, who I used to respect and love, coming out now and slamming Guus Hiddink for taking Tim Cahill to the World Cup when he's still a bit injured? The World Cup shouldn't be about money and club's interests... but Ferguson is just one of a hundred coaches who only cares about his club and his interests, so why single him out? I only blame him because I think his decisions partially led to Rooney's injury, and now he's trying to keep Wayne out of the World Cup. I think they should let Rooney decide. No-one owns him. He's a grown lad. I know what Rooney will say: broken bone or not, I'm playing. That's our Wayne.

Why don't you call our football, your soccer? And we'll call your football, our soccer? That way we'll have our football, yet your soccer. And you'll have our soccer, yet your football. :1orglaugh
