Here is my annual every 4 year World Cup Soccer thread. Since I put asterisks around the thread title, I guess that makes this official ;D Who will win it all? I picked the top teams (from an odds perspective) and put them in the poll. Brazil 3/1 Argentina 9/2 Germany 13/2 Spain 13/2 Belgium 22/1 France 25/1 Italy 28/1 England 28/1 Portugal 29/1 Uruguay 33/1 Netherlands 39/1 Colombia 45/1 Chile 51/1 Russia 100/1 Switzerland 150/1 Ivory Coast 150/1 Japan 180/1 Bosnia-Herzegovina 208/1 Croatia 246/1 Mexico 256/1 Ecuador 303/1 Ghana 322/1 Nigeria 360/1 United States 370/1 Greece 408/1 South Korea 626/1 Cameroon 1000/1 Algeria 2500/1 Australia 2500/1 Iran 3000/1 Costa Rica 4000/1 Honduras 4000/1 ** commence the trash talking ** ** confabulate **

Since I know nothing about soccer or futbol (sp?), except that the few times I watch or hear about it, I hear 'Brazil' mentioned... I'll go with the odds, crawl out on a limb and vote China... no, wait...I mean, Brazil!

4 years ago we faced Spain in the final, this time we wont reach 1/4 finals. I hope Belgium will have that chance now, their team is very well balanced.

In the US, soccer is something little kids play at a park. Yeah we do it in the park too. In a few minutes ill go doing some beer football with some friends. You gotta defend a full beer bottle and when obne of the 5 opponents shoots it down you gotta drink it again and again ...

In the US, soccer is something little kids play at a park. Hahahaha... I don't watch soccer at all except when the World Cup is on (every 4 years). Mang, for some reason, I LOVES the world cup... maybe because of all the nationalistic sentiment or something. Which is why I love creating this thread on QAW - because of how international this clan is! Wow - Netherlands just thrashed Spain. Spain will probably finish second in the group - which would mean a clash with Brazil in the next (elimination) round. Wow - one of the 2 favorites will be knocked out early. Based on this victory, Netherlands could go pretty deep. The significance of this match was huge. Of course, anything could still happen in the next group B matches - but wow!! Edit: muuufle - France looks scary!

I just woke up, it wasnt a dream. if the Dutch do that kinda stuff a few timew more this tournament i wont survive it. really, you should have seen me :0 LOL - I was wondering whether you were OK. So far, Netherlands has looked impressive. I wonder whether Spain was stunned initially and just lost their composure and somewhat gave up during the second half of that match. They should bounce back. France looks impressive. Ribery who? Switzerland looks good too. The African teams look quick (even in these humid/hot conditions). Argentina match was somewhat underwhelming. They could have had 2 more goals tho. Need to watch Brazil in the next match to see how they gel. Germany looking impressive today. Italy looks fantastic. England couldn't close. Not sure why they moved Rooney out from the left. That seemed to be working. Big stun for Uruguay. They need to bounce back quickly. Columbia looks good and so does Mexico. That's all for now. Over and out.

Erm ok, so far so good.
Ausies were the better team and the better spirit.
But i say again, penalty's are given much to easily :/
Heineken's anyone?

Cheers to the Dutches!
Brazil needs to step up in the next game. It will define how serious they are in the world cup.
