FIFA World Cup

I'm gonna assume at least the Brits and Euros on here are watching it.

Who do you think's gonna win it this year?

I'd say Spain.

Spain is the best team.

lol at France failing against Uruguay.

I expected better of France, but their new coach isn't good enough. Leaving Nasri and Benzema at home was stupid, as was playing offensively with a defensive set up.

Uruguay are by no means a bad tea though, they got a red card from that game too, sucks to be them.

I always root for holland

italy when i was younger and now there my backup team I support when holland inevitably gets screwed for some reason

The Netherlands have some skill, if their Olympic team was anything to go by. I tihnk they'll make it through their group easy enough.

I just like holland for there attacking play

they are the european brazil
plus they deserve to win a world cup
hopefully this is there year

and yeah i know i'm in england but appalling organisation dooms them every time the media messes up the players mentality to

I think our best chance was 1990, my main reason for caring about england matches is gerrard he deserves world class gold

Yeah, Holland are one of the better teams to watch. Brazil's team is getting older now though, they're playing more defensively.

We will stomp through the group matches and die horribly in the knock-out round, just like every cup.

all the players i used to worship have retired

holland still has van de vaart and robben though hopefully they do something cool
not really been following the hype this time so i'm not really down with who to be watching

You mean with Holland? Or just in general?

Holland during '98-2000 was pure win.



You don't have to understand Dutch to feel that epicness. And that goal was made at the very end of the match.

brazil vs holland, usa 94
one of the best matches i ever saw

Dennis Bergkamp was fantastic. He plays for Man Utd now, doesn't he?

I'm not watching. Football's boring.

He quit the footballing world 2 or 3 years ago and he played for Arsenal. he had the most amazing farewell match ever. It was current Arsenal vs. '98 Holland even using the same coach (Guus Hiddink, coached Australia 4 years back). Bergkamp played for Arsenal in the first half and for Holland in the second half.

Ah alright, that really is a great farewell. I must have been thinking of someone else.

Maybe you're thinking of Van Nistelrooy.

Yes. That's the guy.

I took great pleasure watching France look rubbish yesterday. Of course, when England inevitably lose on penalties in the quarter / semi final, I'll be in tears, but that's kinda half the fun.

Swore at the TV tonight. Lots. Not only were England rubbish, being held 1-1 by the USA, but I didn't even see the goal - thanks to a cock up on ITV HD, they ran a commercial break four minutes into the game. When the coverage resumed, England had scored. There was plenty of effing and jeffing. Then to compound things, we threw the game away, literally, as our keeper spilled a timid shot straight into his own net. Twat.

England and France sitting in a tree.

S-U-C-K-I-N-G.

Gerrard scored in the first few minutes.
