I thought id make myself a nice lil hidy hole to gossip about the world cup. Note to Americans this a reference to the real world cup where teams from around the world play football. No don't say soccer, its a stupid word and the game is called football with that little rant out the way...

Anywhoo a nice way to start things off (unless your from Paraguay) seemed to be to say whoo hoo we're off and its England 1 - 0 Paraguay.

Got a bit of a pool going on at work, the pot is something like £35 i think and i managed to pull the Ukraine out the bag... not to shabby but not exactly brazil!

Wasn't wildy inpressed by Germany's 4-2 win over Costa Rica on Friday, ok up front they did some damange but that isn't a solid defence by any account.

Ecuador produced a bit of a shock beating Poland 2-0... wasn't expecting that!

Anyway, anyone else following the games? Anyone?

Though I won't be able to keep it up, I've watched all the game so far.

I agree that Germany generally looked suspect, they just played a worse team than themselves. They did have two brilliant goals though (the first and fourth). Definitely the highlight goals so far, though Beck's goal (I mean the other dude's own goal) wasn't bad. At least Germany vs. Costa Rica was interesting, Poland vs. Ecuador was not pretty football.

My ignorant American thoughts about the sport have been surfacing such as "why does the offsides rule in this sport encourage shoddy defense", "why are they so quick to assign own goals" and "how did they give Steven Gerrard a yellow for that?"

Well I've watched all the matches so far and wasn't impressed by the German defending but it was a super game with two great goals included. In school my class has got a thing going where you get a team each. I pulled Ivory Coast out and despite their hard group I'm happy with what i got. I would either like to see England or Ivory Coast win. England as then i could say 'Yay Northern Ireland have beaten the world champions'. Obviously i would like to see Ivory Coast win to get the £100 pot and they two players from Arsenal are representing them (Eboue and Toure).

I just watched the England match and the first half was nice football from England but in the second half they seemed to get worse, giving the ball away too easily and Erikson made some stupid changes. I also saw a bit of the Ecuador vs Poland game. It was scrappy football and not enjoyable to watch.

Does anyone else agree with me when I say Walcott shouldn't be going and Defoe or Bent should have been in the squad? I may be an Arsenal supporter but I think it's stupid to take a 17 year old who hasn't played a game in the premiership and has only played 12 'Coca Cola Championship' matches.

Maybe we could write who we think the top 5 teams most likely to win in order are and why?

Ok my fav team is england and switzerland just so its said!

Untill now none of the teams could really impress me... well at least there were some goals but most of the time the matches were pretty borning.
and to england... i think this stuff with rooney is bullshit, hes good but not that good that england has no chance without him!

Watchout for switzerland theyll reach the 1/2 finals!!

First half England dominated... second half they pretty much fell to pieces, gave away way to much possession and looked pretty knackered. Would have been nice if we'd won by actually scoring a goal as well Wink

Gotta agree with you a bit niklot regarding roony.. yeah so he's good but he isn't the greatest, and england shouldn't use him as an excuse if the others don't pull their socks up.

Yeah i think i'd have picked Defoe over Walcott. But only time will tell

I was quite dissapointed about  the final score between Sweden and Tobacco.
Sweden had most of the gameplay, actually Tobacco only had 2-3 good shots else Sweden had it all. They just needed the last guy to kick the ball in. I was sitting and just waiting on the goal. Sweden played quite good apart from they just couldn't kick the ball in.

The big match winner was Tobacco's keeper, he showed that he is a world class keeper with alot of saves.

Hopefully Sweden can get the ball in next match!

ummmm... I've concluded that Engalnd is most boring team to watch in the cup this year... kick and run, reminds me of my U-10 soccer team back in 4th grade.  Argentina... they pass very well and are fun to watch most the time... one shitty part about Argentina is the constant diving... We'll see how everything turns out.

Holland impressed me a lot today. Hopefully the inner conflict over Robben's lack of passing gets sorted out and he picks his spots a little better. They looked really solid though.

Now to bash the USA... After watching most the first game I've concluded whoever ranked the US #5 is very wrong.  We'll start with the USA's defense, it's flat, slow, and unable to win anything in the air, nothing else to say about that.  The midfield probably connected MAYBE 20% of the passes they played up... most of them going straight to the other team and they can't cross for shit.  The forwards, they can't finish the ball on the oh so rare opportunities a cross or a well played ball does come.  The way the US is playing right now I doubt they could have beaten any team in the world cup.

Germany, England, Italy, Czechs, Brazil and Argentina are the top favorites.

The only time that a team not from the same continent won the Cup was Brazil in Germany....

Brazil and Germany should again be the Top Finalist.... But the house should have the advantage, as always... not only the crowd but the refs .

Germany or Brazil will take the Cup....

you don't belong!

I'm rooting for Trinidad and Tobago!!! clapping hands

Argentina is the best team I have seen play so far. They have great passing, great strikers, and an extremely young extremely deep roster.

I say they take the cup.
