Go, S. Korea!! I'm rootin' for you guyz!!!
Dae-Han Min Gook, clap clap, clap clap~clap.
GO AUSTRALIA!!!! 32yrs or something!! FINALLY!! hopefully they will go somehwere. the Aust Uraguay game was sooooo close. Schartzer was HUGE
hoooah Australia are in!
OK!! The draw has literally just been made!!! I have updated my first post to show the groups and what not…=D
Australia has been drawn with Brazil. We are so screwed.
We're going to get totally destroyed in that group. :sleep:
Well, at least we're there.. I guess. :mellow:
@1:
Ahhh, the world cup, the one time where I will actually support a sport.
Ditto. ARGH! Down with Brazil!
I am still in awe on how S. Korea did so well last World Cup. Of course, a whole stadium full of red colors is helping, but they still rock in getting the 4th place!
hehehe Germany got "lucky".
and what hammers group C and F are.
well, with only a day away I thought I'd bring this topic back.
Tomorrow's games are
Germany V Costa Rica
Poland V Ecuador
So much hype here in England, luckily I live for football otherwise I'd be rather pissed off.
lol yea, gotta love the hype, although personally I aint too bothered about it myself, I'll still support em in the ways I can (have a flag up, eat McDonalds, drink Carlling etc) anyways, what time is the opening ceremony?
England are gonna win it, without a doubt. It is our destiny to win the very trophy which we had 40 years ago.
GO USA!!!
I hope we get far enough to face Iran and beat them, just to shut up their president.
I'm betting on a Germany vs Brazil final if the draw allows it, must say I haven't checked if there's a chance for them to meet before.
Germany are shite, like in 2002 but it didn't stop them from going all the way to the final, and this time they're at home. Brazil are simply too good. Argentina and Holland if they manage not to choke miserably as they're used to should do ok.
We have zero chances of winning it, Zidane is completely over the hill, Henry is a choker and Domenech may very well be the biggest retard on the face of the earth.
lol, USA has no chance .. their in a group with Brazil. They're gonna get owned.
I would go for Canada cuz I am Candian but we never make it to even qualify!!
so .. ENGLAND ! FOR WIN ;D
England is like Spain or Holland, always seem to have the talent needed, always favorites, and look how it ends. They didn't win anything in more than 40 years, one just has to remember that infamous Gerrard's pass at the end of the 2004 pool match against France to figure out they don't cope too well with pressure…
And Rooney's injury, even if the docs cleared him, is clearly a big blow.
Ohh .. not good ><
Everyone at my high school is going for Italy . lol
I can see Italy going only to the Quarter Finals.
lol, USA has no chance .. their in a group with Brazil. They're gonna get owned.

Eh? Have you not checked the official site? USA isn't in Brazils group, they do however have the possibilty of facing Brazil in groups of 16 depending on their group standing after the intial matches are over. If thats what you meant I'm sorry I misinterpreted.
Its the same thing with Brazil vs Germany for the final game it all depends on how they do in groups. If they both end up first in their respective groups they won't see each other unless they both make it to the final.
As for Italy, I was going to cheer them on as my Group E favorite but a lot of people think that the current futbol scandals going on in their country might affect the players and how well they do.
Oh well,I think its good if we wait and see how it goes, the games start tommorrow in my part of the world.
Ugh….it's so hard to get psyched when you're in a country that on the large, just doesn't give a damn.
I wish I was heading to Japan just a few weeks earlier. It'd be insane.
Hell yeah! 1:1! Go Costa Rica! That just made me shout so loud I scared my mother!
Are you so much against Germany. You're from Austria if im readin right.
Btw: its 2:1 for Germany now^^

And being from Austria, I always like teams that in fact suck (like us ^^).
Germany winning is almost a sure thing…and that is why I really hope Costa Rica makes it...because no one expects it.
4:2 for Germany. YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
But we shouldn't get to hyped up. Its "only" Costa Rica.
(Sorry to all Costa Ricanians)
Let's watch what Poland vs. Ecuador will do. Many of my relatives live in Poland.
Good game to watch and all credit to the Costa Rica team, they pulled a few surprises against the Germans. Good to see Wanchope still around and scoring goals. If I were following Germany during this tournament I'd have to say I'd be a bit worried about the defending. Costa Rica are seen as one of the worst teams in the tournament and Germany should have brushed them aside. Instead it took a wonder strike by Frings to seal it deep into the second half. Once Ballack gets back into the team, I'm sure the fans will get a boost which would transfer onto the pitch.
I'm hoping Germany don't disappoint because myself and most of the English population want to see an England V Germany final!
I'm Korean, but I have to say my country isn't gonna be that good this year. Mostly, it's the team. Korea goes against some African country called Togo. They should beat them though, at least I have something else to do than watch baseball. Baseball to me…isn't a sport.
way to go ecuador ^^
Well done the boys from Ecuador. Just goes to show that the smaller countries aren't there to make up the numbers!
I'm all for England tomorrow.. anybody know whether Rooney is gonna make it??
Cuz he passed the test and was available.. so?? any news on him>>
No, Rooney is not playing tomorrow. It is believed he will only make an appearance in the knockout stages, should england qualify for them.
Aw crap.. nonetheless.. w/ or w/o him.. england is still strong.. they are one of the main contender of the title.. viva England…..
Go Korea…tear apart Japan at least (If they even get that far)! Make up for the disgrace of baseball <_<. (Meh Korea definitely isn't going to be kicking it up too well this year.)
*Pumps out the new eurobeat track commemorating the world cup "Super Striker" woo~
@Master:
It's the World Cup. Anything can happen.
Of course, how do you explain my country to come as far as the semifinals. Farthest Korea has ever gotten.
laughs at england for the very average match
Yup, hardly convincing by the English. Though, they have a relatively easy group, I think they'll hold off Rooney until the Sweden game.
Pretty disappointing.. >.< 1-0.. at least they won >.<
A pity that there aren't too many videos of the awesome games of 2002. I won't miss the opportunity to record the games this year ^^
Sweden vs. Trinidad & Tobago was a nice match. Though there were no goals.
Oo. In 15 minutes Argentinia vs. Ivory Coast.
I hope this will be a match with many goals^^
Wooo! We won against Serbia & Montenegro!
When the ball hits the net, you can be sure it's Angola!
Unlucky lads, could of done with seeing Portugal lose.
日本!チャチャチャ!日本!チャチャチャ!
ファイトー!!!!!!
Japan is up against Australia next. I really hope Japan pulls through… Go Japan!
Half time of the Japan-Australia game, 1-0 to japan, was a weird goal though.
Was a weird goal that didn't deserve to be a goal. There was a foul on schwarzer that stopped him getting his hands on the ball. O well, a goal is a goal I guess, you just gotta take 'em when you're given 'em.
@Bad-Beat:

To me it didn't look like a foul, more like he just screwed up…
In fact, to me it looked more like he fouled one of the japanese guys in order to get his hands on the ball...and still failed.
Well, both goalkeepers suck a lot in this match, but besides that it's very nice to watch.
Schwarzer was clearly impeded, he was obstructed nearly a metre out of the way of the flight of the ball. The Ref has a had terrible, terrible game so far, hopefully he's not officiating anymore games in the cup or anywhere else for that matter. <.<
I just hope the match doesn't end 1-0 to japan, would be terrible if the outcome of the match depended on a bad call from the Ref.
I'd be totally cool if we lost outright, but having a dirty goal like that hang over us for the rest of the tournament will be fuckin' annoying.
1-1 man, that Japanese keeper makes a great save and then makes a right mess of the next ball that comes in… tut tut..
