World Cup!
-
Polonia is the footbal nation who is organising the European Championship because that's only way to get to the final round of a tournament.
There last succes was under L.Beenhakker a dutch trainer. -
SPAIN is getting ready
-
Less than an hour to the start of WCS 2010, any quick predictions for the opening game?
South Africa vs Mexico
My productivity will be low for the next 30 days.
-
I am so out of touch as far as the SA squad is concerned, they did look like a bonded team the other day when they beat Denmark 1:0, so with that friendly win and the homeground advantage I'd say it's a 50/50.
I predict a draw. (I'm always wrong however)
-
I predicted a 2-1 for South Africa, it will be a good start for the home land
-
I called it right.
1:1.
Great second half, and a clean game.
-
I thought it was a brilliant game. Thumping goal by Tshabalala too, Looking forward to the France game tonight also. No idea why way it will go though.
-
I predict France to win this one, I also believe they will beat South Africa.
My concern is tomorrows game, England vs USA. I will go to my local drinking hole for this one, I enjoy being the sore thumb in the crowd, hope more English supportes turn up to watch my back.

Are you a secret England supporter Pete?
No, I am a very vocal one, depending on who they play against.
I just do not want a repeat of the winter Olympics if the USA should win, the adoration and arrogance would be too much to take. I do hope the USA gets past the first round however, it's good for the game of soccer back home.
-
South Africa? England? or USA? Give us a clue as to where home is!!!
-
It's more complicated than that, My mum is Dutch, my dad is German, I was born in South Africa, lived in Sydney for three years, london for just under a year and Dallas for 11 years.
Home is here at SCF.

Diplomats in London and Washington have raised the stakes over Saturday's US-England World Cup clash by wagering a meal over the game's outcome.
The bet was brokered in cables between aides to US Ambassador Louis Susman and UK Ambassador Sir Nigel Sheinwald.
"We will understand if you decline, given the outcome of the last such encounter," a US aide wrote, referring to the US defeat of England in 1950.
A UK aide said Sir Nigel took his steak like that win - "somewhat rare".

You'll have to wear alot of hats as I think all of those nations are at the world cup - with either Germany or Holland the more likely to progress to the later stages! Best excuse for being on the booze for 6 weeks I have ever heard!!
Joke - I just said to the wife " Right sexy, upstairs now!" She looked at me and said "Oooh, kinky bastd". I said. "No seriously, The World Cup is starting soon, now FK OFF!"
Men , eh!
-
France V Uruguay, boring 0-0
good referreeing all the same
But hats off to Uruguay, they at least tried to get the ball down and play some attacking football.
France looked like a team without ideas or options
-
Okay, so my Spanakopita and Dolmas breakfast in support for Greece was in vain, Korea were simply better.
Korea 2 Greece 0
Now it's the time to see if Diego Maradona has what it takes to coach a national team and a chance to see if indeed Messi is the greatest player in the world.
Predictions?

No predictions, but the bookies are taking odds on whether he "assaults one his own player" "assaults a member of the media", or " gets thrown from the game"

I would'nt put it passed him to run naked through Buenos Aires if indeed they win. Wonder if he will first do a couple lines of Coke before running.

Was probably the dogsandwich I had that shifted the balance in Korea's favor
Cool tool for keeping track btw...
-
The Argies were deserved winners at 1-0 at halftime. Real good football and the goal was a definite training ground routine. So hats off to Maradonna he has them well drilled. Should be good 2nd half.
Now for England v USA. I think it'll go England's way, 2-0
-
Fair result, Nigeria did great by defending off the many attacks, and a few excellent breakouts, Argentina controlled the game, slowing it down whenever they needed to regroup.
Now for the game of the day...
England 2, USA 1. (prediction)
