Against, I can't stand In-ger-land.I thought so. I'm rooting for the US, Italy (after group stage), Tunisia, Froggies and Dutchies. I'm actively rooting against Ingerland, Mexico and Germany.
It should be fun to be in a country you're rooting against during the WC. Don't get yourself hurt. :D

Well there was a time when up here people didn't give a crap about the world cup. But due to the shit that is our media lots of the young un's have become infected with the In-ger-land bug. :rolleyes: Walking around with Rooney on their shirts a day after he's just put two past us. Makes me ********ing sick.
I won't get hurt, if anyone trys anything a punch with a set of keys inbetween the fingers will see them off. :cool:

What's your beef with Deutschland?
And I don't think you'll have a chance to root for Italy this year:
1) Czechs
2) US
3) Italy
4) Ghana

BW what's your connection to Germany? I used to live in Bamberg and Augsburg.
Love: USA
Like: France, Brazil, Netherlands (sexy football is the shit), Cote d' Ivorie, Costa Rica (STFU about Concacaf)
Dislike: Argentina, Italy, Germany
Hate: Mexico, England (wankers at the pub are such a bore), Iran (fans are idiots)
My only wish is if the USA can't win it let a country that's never one it bring home the trophy.

USA, Serbia & Montenegro and who gives a ******** for me. I honestly think England will win, but the Irish in me hopes they don't.
On a positive side not I got my first Newcastle Jersey today. :D
Edit: Ukraine is fine too.

4) GhanaI love Germany the country, I dislike Germany the team. I don't have a major beef. I'm a big fan of Holland, and there's some serious animosity between the 2. Plus, I am generally unimpressed with the German squad, and so many people are predicting them to make it to the semis, finals or to win; I'd just like to be confirmed in my assessment that they're nothing spectacular. (Same reason I'm rooting against England; that, and I really can't look at Crouch for extended periods with getting nauseous.)
I am contractually obligated thru birth and marriage to predict that the US and Italy will finish 1st and 2nd in the group. :D

You must be listening to the wrong people. Head over to the Germany board and you'll find that the German citizenry (as well as the players themselves!) aren't too optimistic. That's one reason I want to see Germany win it all, to put a smile on the faces of the German people (plus I lived there for 7 years).
And yesterday ESPN analyst Tommy Smyth (love him or hate him) predicted Italy to win it all. So anything's possible. Hell, the US might even lose to Ghana (knock on wood).

Half the time I think Tommy Smyth's a genius, the other half I think he's insane.
1. US
2. Czech Rep.
3. Italy
4. Ghana
Oh, and I've been saying for two years that England will win it all, over Holland in the final. Sorry, vdG.
By the way, when did you become mod, BW? </late to the party>

Head over to the Germany board and you'll find that the German citizenry (as well as the players themselves!) aren't too optimistic.That is true. I really hadn't noticed that. I think people outside expect them to perform due to home advantage.
I would rather pull for a not so fabulous squad like Tunisia (with little football history) to do well than a not so fabulous squad like Germany (a definite former and future great). I guess, for me, they're not underdog enough to be underdogs and not awesome enough to be awesome. :D

Near the end of May over on the Bayern board. Haven't had to do a single thing yet, however. Not so much as a stickied thread. That'll change once the BL starts up again.
Anyone seen X-Men 3 yet?

Oh, how the mighty have fallen.
Zinn, you picked an MLS team yet? How about Toronto FC?
Howard Zinn

Nope, didn't pick one. At this point, I can't make a decision to support a current club while knowing that Philly is eventually going to get one. I have to wait and see what happens with that. I'll just continue to support the league in general until something happens with the Philly club.
You going to be able to watch the matches today?

I switched shifts with someone so I can watch Germany/Costa Rica.

Good move.
That ball is bogus, to say the least. Keepers don't even have a chance.
