Yup! World cup is starting again!

What are your guesses? I think we will finally see the final Brazil x Argentina.

Since I was a child the world cup song for me is "Pra Frente Brasil", which means "Let's go forward, Brasil"
Here is Angra version with a nice guitar style of course

Great thread!
I will be watching all the games, or at least try to. I expect Serbia to pass the group with Germany perhaps, then kick out England or USA in quarter and then in Semi finals get lucky and win, final with Brasil/Argentina/Germany/ !

Awesome!! I will also be watching all the games! I hope Greece gets a satisfying place this time

I will watch as much as possible

Yesss! I'll be watching!

Yeah! I'm very anxious for this world cup!! I think that Argentina vs Brazil in the final would be fantastic!

I'll be watching...still not sure what our german team can accomplish, but I hope they make it to the semi-finals and then anything is possible...but I guess Spain and Argentina are the top favourites, as well as Brasil.

Oh, come on.... be realistic here... Of course the finals will at least have the Netherlands.... !! vs Argentina btw

Boy am I not interested in football at all^^
I am glad the worldcup is only once in four years - everyone is going nuts!

I will be watching the matches a lot! Hope Serbia will do well

I always think that you are gonna make it, since you've got the best players...but be realistic...



Yeah, though I like football I'm already annoyed by all the flags on everybody's cars...I'm always afraid one is gonna crack my front shields when it suddenly flies off on the highway.

I'm really looking forward to the World Cup. I know us Canadians are not known for being big football fans, we much prefer hockey However having a Grandfather from Ireland (damn Thierry Henry and his handball!! ) I was very much brought up with football although it was hard to see a game on TV.

The usual favourites are there but for some reason I'm kind of feeling Argentina this year. I'm not an Argentina fan per say but they've sent their best and they look good... just need to side step the Maradona show... then again with him at the helm they are anything but predictable

Good luck to all and I'm sure we'll be entertained!!

rok

I will be watching as many games as humanly possible

Did anyone see the early game of Japan vs. England? Japan scored two goals...on themselves!!

Let me just quote an Hawaiian saying that resembles my opinion perfectly and the state of current soccer teams out there:

"If it ain't Dutch, it ain't much"

Argentina... nah can't see it, not with Maradona as coach, don't get me wrong without a doubt one of the (if not the) greatest players of all time but hasn't he fallen out with Messi?

Brazil, prob not this time...

England to much pressure, depends how Rooney plays..

Holland will be there or there abouts but think they'll fall just short.

Spain thats my bet..

in any way... really looking forward . I've placed my bets, let the games begin...

oh, for those who would like to know the dutch way, check out my youtube page (my youtube) . As Lester said, if it ain't dutch, it ain't much

Rooney reminds me of Pedja..

I am watching it right now.. opening..

nice intro
don't like the guy his voice :l

Haha thats funny cause you are not the only person that said that! At least 30 other people who follow football said the same.
Check out Freddie Ljungberg and you will really see how we look alike!

In that case I just hope you are not luckier than me

Just watched the first game. Awaiting the second now

Watched both games today. Was so routing for RSA, wish they had a pulled out another goal. And I was a little disappointed that France drew with Uruguay but enjoyed both games immensly... although those vuvuzela's make it sound like the stadium is under attack by an agree swarm of bees...

Looking forward to England and the USA tomorrow. Routing for England in this one I must admit, hope Rooney has a good game

LoL Pedja.. But you do look like Rooney

I'm confused by this game. Where is the ice, and where are their sticks?

It will be interesting to see what Argentina can do today

Aha .... the world game ... Following it this year.

As long as they don't fake dive and act/cry like little bi!@#$s for a freekick/penalty ... that's just lame

less than 15 minutes for our first game, can't wait more!!! XD
I think we got a great team this time, but in this game, fortune has so many faces...

Just watching right now...man Lian, the argentinian team plays awesome...I mean, I thought they would do so, but still I'm amazed!

As I foresaw,the results of today's match are satisfactory

and we are not playing well yet!

Argentina won!! I'm so happy!

Argentina has Messi in form which is great! Huguain is out of shape, same thing goes for Tevez, but Messi will lead the way no doubt

Well, they started better than they played the rest of the game...they could have won 5 - 0...

I don't watch TV at home, but was at my Sister's house. Enjoyed the Argentina Nigeria game. I was for Argentina because of you guys, I don't know of anyone from Nigeria.

I liked the US England game. England has better players, but the US played good defense after the first 4 minutes, and they have a really good goal keeper, so they hung in. Pretty good for us.

I think the English are mostly down, but a lot of times teams start of slow. They might go a long way. I will be happy if the US gets out of the first round. But some of those teams have the athletes (such as Argentina), and maybe you get lucky, but I am realistic, you can't get lucky enough to go to the final rounds unless you have the top athletes, and we don't.

I really enjoyed watching the Netherland-Denmark game.....

And i manage to get the right score on my bet so i also won some money from it

Meh, the dutch played weak... they can do much better, or maybe they can't. I feel bad for S poullsen who got the own goal, it wasn't his fault, he headed the ball away and it bounced of some other danish dude's back!

Paraguay is currently leading over Italy 1-0 after the first half

Is it just my imagination or did the german team play the best football so far

they sure did.... But they scored one goal to much..

My bet was 3-0

They looked that way to me.

I have just taken an interest in this, of course not the traditional top sport in the US, but I have enjoyed it, for the first time in my life.

Except for those obnoxious buzzing things the South Africans do. I was glad to see that is just them, you don't all do that. In my life, I have never seen fans so annoying, and in a way that has no coolness to it at all. Just a constant drone like a swarm of bees. I don't think those fans are even watching the game. I think they are just like little kids playing with a loud toy, annoying everyone. I like great fans, and crowd noises. Like when the English fans burst into God Save the Queen to inspire there team, that was neat, and you could see the team was inspired (fortunately not inspired enough though). But having to listen to an annoying drone like a swarm of bees by an audience with the po dunk 83rd ranked team in the world? They would not even be there if they were not hosting, they should not be annoying people like that. Just obnoxious. I understand this started in the 90's. A sacrosanct tradition, right.

Quit braggin .. will ya ?

I'm so sorry...

New Zealand managed to get on point from Slovakia in the last minute

Great match between Paraguay and Italy yesterday! Not too much football, but they played with the heart, like a final!

Check out my new World Cup chair

Awesome chair! I was so happy when New Zealand scored the 1 - 1, I have a faible for underdogs (except when they play against Germany). btw, I thought Portugal vs. Ivory Coast was going to be an awesome game...but no...

Great that I can't watch because of work. I hate it if I missed a good match

What a suprise!! Switzerland defeated Spain

Indeed, just watched it aswell.
I kinda had the feeling that Spain wanted to score with 'beautiful looking goals'. Did anybody else have the same feeling?

Yup, they defended very well... Spain is playing much worse than they did in the last Eurocup, they didn't attack well and didn't defend specially well either. Hope they change hehe
