World Cup 2006

[krolikk]

Hello everybody, are there any crazy football fans here?

Any one going to see finals in Germany?

My heart is with Poland hope they will reach 2nd round...

Seriously I would like young Holland to take over from Brazil.

Re: World Cup 2006

Damn it, I wanted to start thw official World Cup thread!

Oh well...

Over here, we´re already in full world cup fever since saturday. We had an event called "the most beautiful flag in the world", where about 18.000 women formed the world´s biggest human flag.



Also, just like during Euro 2004, people have started hanging national flags on their windows and balconies. Pretty soon the streets will be full of green and red!

Re: World Cup 2006

I'm not that stoked about it to be honest, although I will watch it. There are some god awful teams in there, who won't do a thing (Japan, Togo, Angola, Poland, Iran) just not worth them even getting on the plane.

No exciting groups either, results should be easy to predict.

Will obviously be better in the knockout stages though

Re: World Cup 2006

Poland was great in qualifying. I expect them to do ok. The Argentina group should be extremely exciting, as well as the US/Italy group, and the England group.

I so pumped for the tournament!! I hope Spain can do well, and the I'm rooting for Holland and the Czech Republic as well!!

Is it common behaviour that people from ireland are for
England if they dont get on WC board?

@ greg whelan. Its gonna be even more exiting for me if underdogs like Poland will reach ie. England in 2nd round. I will be already satisfied with it....on the other side, for England its gonna be just the beggining of real tournament.

that is why this event rules

BTW Germans had back to shape after were defeated by Italy, those are not good news...

IMO Carlitos Tevez will be WC Superstar,any of your proposals?

nope but Liverpool are my passion aswell as watching the premiership all the time so why wouldnt I support them

Re: World Cup 2006

Well, besides my own squad, I traditionally support England and Argentina.

If ome of you remember recent WC history, this has left me divided in a number of occasions.

Also, since I lived in Spain for a few months in 2004/2005, I´d like to see them do well too.
