So are you looking foward to it?
What are your hopes for your country?
How do you think your country will do?
If your country is not there who are you supporting?
Well I am supporting england, oviously I want them to win but know its england they will get to the quarter finals and lose on penalties
{Forum hiccup: this topic got posted twice.}
India didn't qualify. (Right...?) So I really have no idea who I'm supporting. I was with Italy last time, don't know why. xD
(oh, i will delete one then thanks for telling me)
nope they didn't
I dont think India or Canada did, so I'm going for Italy again lol. Even before Winx, I always used to support Italy and I'm not really sure why =S But they won last time
You see when england don't qualify I go for Spain
Iceland never qualifies for anything besides handball.
I think I'm just gonna be supporting Italy then~ It's always been a pretty solid team, hasn't it?
Yep, normally good in defence and well organised
Meh, Italy? XD
I'm sorry, but our team does suck. >.> Sorry, Bafana Bafana.
Considering the fact that the World Cup is being held at South Africa, I'm really hoping that Italy could make it to the semi-finals! Since the semi-finals are being held in my city's stadium *shot* and I live just a few kilometres from the stadium X3
But generally, I'm not a soccer fan.
well home teams do well normally and if your well orgainised you could do like greece you could do well even with a team that is not the best
Did Finland make it into the cup? I don't know lol if they did i'll root for them of course.
...is it so weird that like, I don't even like soccer?
I don't really either... i get bored from watching it.
@hanna nope
@winxclubrox23 no its not weird
I don't like watching soccer, either. xD Just join in the discussion >_>
Did Egypt qualify?? cause I have no idea XD
If it did then that's who i'm voting for, but, if no. I think i'll go for Italy
nope, I think they lost to Algeria in a play off
Marty in the G group, whats Korea DPR? Is it North Korea and the other one in the B group is South Korea? And how do they decide the groupings? Sorry for the questions lol I'm not a big follower but its really interesting and you seem to know alot about it.
I think so I am not 100% sure
It is a combination if seeded and continents see this article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_FIFA_World_Cup_seeding
Ooh, okay, thanx .
thats ok, feel free to ask anything else I am by no means an expert but will try and help
oh..right, man!!
Algerians really went nuts after that match. They even attacked Egyptians living there and burned Egypt's flags :S
From what I heard it was a bit of both with both sides going over the top
YAY GO URUGUAY! *laugh and giggles*
Italy, I am disappoint.
Very disappoint.
Yep fact of life england goal keepers are prone to errors and england over rated. Shame other than the Germans there have been very few goals dispite a few one sided matches
Sucks for Spain fans the most lol. But yeah Italy was a let down <.< There's still time though ^^
ZOMG GO URUGUAY!!! 3:0
and man australia sucked honestly 0:4 thats embarresing.. >.>
I'm bummed that Italy couldn't be in Group D - Then they would have played here! XD I think each team has three chances ~ I know for sure that SA does. Our last game is with France I think. We played against Mexico, Uruguay (GRRR!) and then we are playing against France.
Yep every team plays 3 times in the group stages
Good then~ Italy and SA have a chance =3
Yes though South Africa have a very thin chance, they need to beat France heavily and/or have uruguay or Mexico lost lose heavily. As a draw will guarante they are out
True, I just need to keep my hopes up. ~ But I don't really mind if they lose. It's the spirt in the game that counts.
Blah. I want India to qualify next time. -_-"
Well you want poor look no further than england and poor tactics
... Iceland is in the handball world cup. /shot
Yeah well India owns in cricket
What the ;podighsroi;hg;soie Italy tied again! What is this they should be owning these teams -____-
For anyone interested who's not sure how it works/is too lazy to figure it out:
There's one match left for each team in its division.
As long as Italy beats Slovakia they'll advance.
If they lose they dont advance.
If they tie, its up to the other match:
If Paraguay wins, they advance.
If Paraguay and New Zealand tie, I think it depends on who has scored more goals between Italy and New Zealand, that country will advance with Paraguay.
If New Zealand wins, Italy does not advance.
So if all the teams were equal, Italy would have a 50:50 chance. But Italy is NOT equal, they are better than the rest so they will probably advance ^^
I hope Italy advances. I can't believe Buffon is not playing!!
Buffon got injured
Well we had are first hammering of the tornament, its good that most groups are so close
Dayamn, France who was last year's runner up never even made it past round 1 o_0
They shouldn't be misbehaving, too! XD
The problem is the manager never inspired confidence with the squad and evidently they sent Anelka home for an argument and no complaint was ever raised but they should have tried harder
Thank goodness england came through there group, now it looks like it could be Germany if they top the group
Well I was correct
GO URUGUAY DEY'S WON AGAINST KOREA!!!! WUUU GHANA'S NEXT WE IS GONNA WIN LAWL ~ they played horribly though god it was bad, lucky they won though..
England out now, no surprise everything been wrong from day one formation, squad etc
Whoo Netherlands has been my team since Italy lost and they made it to the quarter finals (Y)
Greece and Spain are my teams now.
My team is Spain now
Lol Ditty Greece was out same round as Italy.
=| There goes my Opa.
Spain then, okay.
I support everyone. XD
So...Jah is Team Argentinaaaaaaaaaaaa.
YIPEE GO ARGENTINA ALSO! brothers of uruguay.. i hope its all south american teams this year.. that'd be awsome!!
I'm hoping it'll be a Brazil/Argentina final. 8D
[EDIT: ...And, two hours later, they've lost. I think I jinxed Brazil. O_O]
Nope Brazil were poor and lost there cool. I also don't think Argentina are there yet if they beat Germany I think they will have a good chance unless Spain click into gear
Brazil only lost because I watched the match. ... and they shot in their own net orz
The first goal for holand was bad communication, I wouldn't call it a shot into there own net
lol! yea i saw that. brazil..
I can't believe holanda made it this far. upset that mexico lost.. *tears*
if argentina and germany play against each other, its going to be just like the last world cup.
I doubt it at least lets hope it all ends peacefully anyway
WHOO Netherlands won!! I wasn't expecting them to beat Brazil even though I'm cheering for them now lol. Yeye
ARGH BRAZIL G'SHDARNIT!!! i couldnt believe they scored in their own net >.< made me laugh a little though hehehe.
AND WUUUHUUUU GO URUGUAY THE MOST TEDIOUS GAME IVE EVER SEEN!! BUT YA DID IT!
~onwards to victory netherlands watch out buddies!
c:
i'm going for uraguay!
argentina lost really badly against germany. i don't like argentina but i do feel sorry for them.
Yep Argentina never found a way through a well organised German side. Though it was an excellent game
yea it was. couldn't help but laugh everytime germany put in a goal.
Made me feel a bit better about england at least we scored 2 even if one was wrongly called to have not crossed the line
yeah i didnt see the game but it seems Germany is a strong team this year. And spain won, i really wasnt rooting for spain this year shame i liked Paraguay.
And um wow next up is Uruguay vs. Netherlands
sometimes i wonder how Uruguay does it, i mean they've had alot of luck i think. and they have a great goalie.
Or 2 though netherlands have a few players missing defensivly so it could be interesting
mm i really hope its not as daunting as the last with uruguay in it. Hope they win. i think it sounds quite funny the four teams in the fianls,
URUGUAY NETHERLANDS GERMANY SPAIN
i dont know uruguay sounds almost random lawl. i love it. such a small and awsome country.
Yeah I totally wasnt expecting Uruguay or Netherlands to make it lol. So random xD But i'm not complaining, I've been cheering for Netherlands ever since Italy got kicked out (second would be Denmark but they got kicked out at the same time lol). Hmm you guys wanna all make our predictions/guesses? Or who you want to win, however you want to do it. I say its gonna be:
Netherlands beats Uruguay,
Spain beats Germany,
Netherlands beats Spain.
Germany V Spain-German win
Netherlands V Uruguay-Netherlands win
Germany V Netherlands-German win
Spain V Uruguay- Spain win
i thought yeah itll be germany vs. netherlands but i dont know maybe its because i love them or maybe its because they seem to be incredibly lucky.. i think uruguay might be up there somewere. but you never know because i mean we did see some weird things this year..
brazil lose to netherlands
france completly crumble
germany crush everyone,uruguay actually get somewere <-- correction they're talented enough what am i saying!!
Yep that's the beauty of knock out football anything can happen and a disolussioned squad (in France's case)
Woot Netherlandsss (Y) 3-2 over Uruguay yeye
They were a little fortunate with the second goal but in the end they deserved to win
hmm i respect that they won but i was not happy how they did it. that second goal was notdeserved. at least Uruguay played a fair and good game and without one of their best players also. their goalie is so cute too c:
ALSO YAY SPAIN TAKE THAT GERMANY TAKE THAT!! YOU CANT WIN BOTH THE WORLD CUP AND EUROVISION!! MWAHAHAHAHA
Uruguay for 3rd and Spain for 1st.
ihave to say netherland and germany players scare me, that and the koreans they look so angry all the time. Acutaly come to think of it the australian team looks super mad all the time. >.< gez SMILE MORE GUYS!
I think Spain will win the world cup now but what did surprise me was how defensive Spain were in the end. They seemed scared to put people in the box, for most of the first half there was only Villa in the box. Spain seemed to be hoping to get a goal from a set piece (which they did) or trying to get to penalties or push in extra time with fresh legs by bring on there subs later (Germany very rarely if ever lose on penalties, so that would be a bad idea). I though Germany was on top until Spain scored it certainly wasn't the game people were billing it to be.
Even though I had been cheering for Italy at first, I kinda predicted Spain would go so far and even win~ I hope they'll win ><
eyah i hope they win. go spain and i hope uruguay gets third. for old times sakes, im not a fan of germany. to be most honest.
I think germany and spain will win. Anyone hear about the octopus?
http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/09072010/58/world-cup-2010-octopus-paul-backs-spain-lift-trophy.html
Yup. Jahn's known about him for a while, and thinks he's awesome. 8D
That cursed octopus... i hate it from time ago
Spain doesn't deserve to Win just my opinion... Let see what happen...
I am curious why don't Spain deserve to win?
Spain won and holland vey lucky just to have 10 men left on the pitch
Yeah, they won, yet i believe they doesn't deserve it... LOL
See, nothing personal or fan related stuff of any kind, I just think that the game quality was lame, this was actually the worst World cup final i've ever seen... and yeah you can say that Netherlands play even worst... but actually the whole game was lame... Netherlands come with a game out of ideas, Spain come with a "Sissy Play" and the Referee work was a disaster...
I say that before, 'cuz was thinking that Netherlands was in a superior level (they hace more than a year without lose a single game) and Spain haven't show anything really good in the WC games... but it end up both teams show like they lacking of what it should take to call themselves World Champion ...in my opinion... The whole performance of this Cup was lower than the other i've seen
SPAIN WONN YAYY @@@@@@!!!!
and man netherlands played a dirty dirty game. they didnt deserve it after that game. i mean Come on! kicking that guy in the stomich with his soccer boots? that was red card material. There were all up 15 Yellow cards to netherlands.
so just for that. GO SPAIN.
also congrats Diego Forlan (striker for uruguay) on the Fifa Best Player award. you deserved it <3
@deadinside I disagree it was very much pass and move and while Netherlands may have played better, Spain were the best of the two in the final while Netherlands were terrible and tried to play the final in the wrong way. The referee did get a few wrong decisions Robben should have gone along with Dejong and Van Bommel. He did have a hard job if Netherlands had of lost men it would have most probably mean the Netherlands would have been distroyed. He tried to keep the spectacle going too much so though
Also to stop Germany scoring is not an easy task
Puyol was the clown dude maybe it should have been but I think Cassilas had it covered, I don't think there was much Inesta/Xavi (i forget which one) made the most of the foul for the second yellow card
Spain where no where near as dirty as Holland who spent most of the first half fouling Spain
It seemed that way cause of the Spain diving, how I see it. Like that Dutch dude who got the red card, from what I saw he hardly touched the Spain guy if at all, but the Spanish guy was rolling on the ground and the Dutch guy had to leave the game.
He did pull him back but he did make the most of it but for certain red cards look no further than de Jong
Yeah, if we start talking about dirty game its not a one side thing, the Spain Sissy play of Diving and looking for get a foul instead of go for the play was very annoying, and yeah, both teams should get red cards, (don't forget that spain guy that hit that man out of the play in a not ball related scenario, that's should be direct a red card), but we can go on and on both ways, the WHOLE GAME WAS LAME, thats what i say, if Holland play worst than spain... yeah, i should guess...
And looking back in the Cup I think Holland has better games than Spain...
The Game For the 3rd Place was way better than the Final
I aggree the third place play off was better and I heard somewhere that it is normally the case because there is less pressure
no im with marty. spain was no were near as dirty as netherlands. i agree though the game for third plce was much better!!
whilst i think there were a few penalties against germany that should have been charged that didnt i think it was a good game. But um... go uruguay. boo germany o.o
