News: Official FIFA World Cup 2010 Thread -- Crew Forum

As someone who was living here but having just finished my freshman year of college, I, too, would love the opportunity to see it here as I am now better off financially.

 

I just can't believe we're probably going to get snubbed by Qatar.

 

as someone who was 6 in 1994 I agree as well

 

The '94 WC was the first WC, and probably first soccer in general that I ever saw. I remember sitting on my grandma's floor watching every single game of the tournament, and I was hooked. I was probably about 8 or so, so I'd love to have it back here.

 

I think that this story would be repeated exponentially throughout the USA.

 

Now that world cup 2010 is over and the tv cameras have all left south Africa I'm left wondering....where were all the statues and homages to Dr. Khumalo, the Michael Jordan of South African soccer.

 

They were too valuable to just leave on the streets. They were safely placed in vaults during the World Cup and soon will again majestically grace the streets of Johannesburg.

 

They did not want to embarress Messi, Beckham, Henry, Ballack, et al. with The Doctor's Massiveness.

Paul, the Octopus, coming to a sushi restaurant near you soon.

 

The question remains however, if he did indeed correctly guess the date of his demise.

 

When given a choice between a box with his picture and a box with the Grim Reaper's picture, Paul chose correctly again...

 

I was going to say, I bet he didn't see that coming.

Also, in a tribute to Paul, MLS have just announced that the playoff semi finals will be over eight legs.

ithankyou

 

I'm not allowed to praise you privately any longer so I'll do it publicly: well done, good sir.
