Edited by: Yolan on 05/06/2006 19:29:38 Edited by: Yolan on 05/06/2006 19:21:11 Thought I would get the ball rolling by starting a world cup discussion thread. Rather than have the usual mutiple threads on the same subject could the mods please sticky this thread for the duration of the tournament and lets get a discussion of the games going throughout the tournament.
link to match shedule http://eur.i1.yimg.com/eur.yimg.com/i/eu/fifa/a4fi.pdf link to groups listings http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/fifa/06/t/wp/groups_lg.jpg
As we still have a few days left before the tournament I think a good place to start would be to answer two questions.
1. Who do you think will win the world cup?
2. Who do you want to win the world cup?

Once every four years I get out the flags for a sporting event and announce that I'm English and proud of it. There are far worse ways to show patriotism. But anyways back to the football....

I'd accept that, but will the forum mods? Sigs are supposed to be EVE-related ...
anyway.
I am, of course, rooting for England ... but I have thought for a while that this is going to be Spain's year. Finally. ________________________________________________

1) Don't know enough about football to say really, but probably Brazil. Again.
2) England ofc. I may not like football, but my dislikes are with the factors of all the english clubs having around 75% foreign players. Not how local football clubs were meant to be, but meh. Don't have that issue with the world cup though

Who is gonna be top scorer - Adriano, Kaka, Ronaldhinho? My money is on the greatest goal hanger of them all, even if he is overweight and has blistered feet.
Well, maybe we will get them on a bad day..........

For the Icelanders, a free World Cup game is live here, excellent to set up leagues in the workplace, amongst friends and/or corpmates!
As for the questions... well.. I've booked 2 weeks of holiday to coincide with the group stage so I'll be watching every game live (subscription bought!).
I'll root for the most enjoyable team to watch after the first round I guess. I've always had a soft spot for the Dutch and the Czechs and the Portuguese though.

Edited by: ElweSingollo on 05/06/2006 21:35:02 The teams that I reckon are Brazil, Italy or Holland.... I don't personally think England can do it I know they beat Jamaica 6 - 0 but look at their diabolocal first half performance against Hungry they produce that kind of performace against a semi decent team and you will get gubbed.

Hehe according to the Daily Mail not supporting England is akin to a hanging offence by the looks of it in the UK strangely enough I am not actually English so don't feel compelled to support your team that being said I will say Kudos to you for being proud of your team .

This is going to be a good and open world cup perhaps the best world cup since 1990.
Many very good teams Brazil, France, Argentina, England, Italy, Holland, Portugal, Spain ( although they never seem to do too well in world cups)
Dark horses Australia, South Korea, Ghana.
Watch out for me and my 30 yard drives with 4 minutes to go

I just hope the U.S. has some sort of strong showing...but of course i don't think they will come close to winning.
Besides the U.S. i think i'll be pulling for Italy. Or Germany.

Edited by: Mak''shar Karrde on 06/06/2006 03:01:35 I really don't know who will win. I agree that it will be a very open World Cup this time.
My heart is supposed to say England, and it does to a limited extent. I just hate all the overzelous media coverage. They claim those not supporting England are traitors but have no qualms about trying to destroy a players career/life if he plays bad. *Grumble grumble*.
I will probably support one of those fast, attacking, "screw the defence" teams (but not Brazil). Assuming any make it through the group stages...
My mother supports France though... I'm already constructing the gallows.

Hehehe... Go Don Leo!
The final will be Brazil (beating France in the semis) vs. Holland (beating Germany 7-0 ). Holland will win it 3-2 in extra time.

Will be an open W/C this time round. Argentina,Brasil,Italy,Holland will be among the favourites and of course England(chokes)
But watch out for the lesser known teams such as Russia,Portugal and the Czechs. There is a lot of teams with the potential to win it this year and IMHO it will be the most open for a long time.
P.S. Never rule out the hosts Germany, they always do well in the World Cup. -----------------------------------------------
Maturity and wisdom do not occur overnight. Stupidity on the otherhand, can happen in the blink of an eye!!!!

If Holland wins I'll eat my hat. Holland has got a lot of big profile players, but they can't play together. They always go out rather early, despite being very highly rated. They haven't won anything since '88, and they won't win this year.
