World Cup!
-
Attacking is the best defence. The dutch team wil play always attacking with the big four.
van Persie (Arsemal) Kuyt (Liverpool) Robben (Bayern Munich) Sneijder (Inter Milan) we have a very good attacking side. Also we have other good players such as van Bommel (Bayern Munich) and van der Vaart (Hamburger SV).
Last week we played a very good match against Mexico (2-1 won) who is also a competitor in South Africa. And the poule off the dutch with Japan en Cameroon and Denmark is not so stark. -
Hi Guys,
I came across a nice World Cup Planner Chart that some of you might find useful. Further details can be had at iGIZMO http://issue.igizmo.co.uk/1Y4beaad26e032e807.cde

Thanks Mike, my boys will use this for sure, they are Americanized and this world cup is going to be an education on soccer, they are stoked!
(my youngest was mortified that soccer was more popular than 'football' in the world, and confused when I explained that the 'World series' did not include the world)
-
Nice find Mike, in a similar vein, if you want to see where your predictions end up, use this spreadsheet. It's a free Excel sheet with a schedule of all tournament games. It automatically calculates the position of each football team according to game scores you put in.
Have a play!

The Orange Legion (the netherlands) wins again. In the Netherlands the orange fieber is back in the streets.

Normaly women don't like soccer, but this time they also do love it.

Holland on warpath with a 6-1 win on Hungary.
Holland is now arrived in South Africa and is waiting for there first match against Denmark.
My guess it wil be a 4-1 victory for Holland -

Yeah... Hungarian football has been a ridicule for the last 20 (or rather 25-30) years... So this score does not (yet) mean that Holland is very good!

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.
