my picks:

group a = germany (closely ranked team should make a good group to watch)
group b = england (cake walk)
group c = argentina (#3 netherlands vs. #4 argentina best of round 1)
group d = mexico (mex vs. portugal should be good but mex ftw)
group e = usa (#2,#5,#12,#50 in one group http://forums.importatlanta.com/images/smilies/eek.gif ... usa b/c we can do it)
group f = brazil (cake walk)
group g = france (cake walk)
group h = spain (cake walk)


Date for your diary: Frankfurt, 21 June, Netherlands v Argentina
Potentially the most exciting clash of the first round. All the more so since third in the world meets fourth in this decisive clash in a finely poised group.

[SampaGuy]

hmm mexico vs portugal should be a good game. portugal will probably win if Figo is playing though.

oh and good thread

[4dmin]

here are my predictions for the 1st stage of the world cup.. anyone else want to make some predictions (post up) ... anyone up for a small wager on the games; like 5$... pick your winners for 1st stage, for everyone you get right you get 1 point. the guy w/ the most points at the end of stage 1 wins the pot. anyone?

[drupason]

Hell yea cant wait to watch some futbol!!! Id meet down for meeting up for some food/drinks to watch the games!

[4dmin]

[gtikid]

Thank god for tivo!!! Unfortunately i dont have it :(

I'm super down for going to eat and watch some soccer. I would love to see the Netherland vs. Argentina and hope the Netherlands kicks argentina's ass :D

I think the US will get pretty far, but not far enough to win a cup. Not yet at least ;)

[Romeyo07]

[Greddypacked]

Damn havent been into the Cup since the USA was rated #1, and great teams like Argentina, Brazil etc... I dont know who is good now lol, but i will always love soccer.

[Dragonfly5338]

[4dmin]

bahhh thats funny... you should find a european resturant ;)

[ALVIN]

I say brazil...I also say we get a group of people to go to the World Cup after this one...cuz EUROPE SOCCER is nothing like it is here.

I was there last time they had a world cup (not at the world cup but a couple games before) and I was in Croatia...bout an hour from the town square (where all locals watch the games on a huuuge TV) and Croatia won...well you can hear gunshots from end of game to mid the next day. Its crazy how people love that sport so much. Thats why they have so many riots because someones team loses and they get pissed lol.

[ALVIN]

bahhh thats funny... you should find a european resturant ;)

THere are plenty of european restaurants in lawrenceville (downtown) and one I know for sure will be watching soccer is Topolinos at the corner where Summit Ridge is on 124....its crazy and they are bosnian so good food.

[4dmin]

awesome man... we will have to meet up there some time... my wife and i have driven by there alot, we live off of 5 forks

[SampaGuy]

if theres one team brazil has to watch out for its germany

[holy mini]

Cote D'Ivoire (Ivory Coast) is going all the way!!! They have some young players who are going to surprise everyone...

[4dmin]

i want to see final Argentina vs. Brazil... i would like to see USA vs. any european team in 3rd, but i would say (Eng, Ita, Fra, Ned, Ger, or USA will be in the 3rd spot)

i don't think Ivory Coast will get out of group C, i think they will surprise people but they have to beat Arg and Ned first.

Brazil i just don't see them taking it even though they are fav... i think europeans will take it home.

[knee_grow]

Mexico!!! Livin la vida loca and all that other Mexican shit.

[SampaGuy]

argentina didnt even make it to the rounds of 16 in 2002, nor did France. i still say germany is the strongest opponent for brazil. they have home field advantage too.

yes but i belive argentina beat brazil to qualify for the wc... and argentina has better club teams anyway, so i think its going to be good race to the cup. only thing though is Brazil has a cakewalk w/ the first round... i wouldn't be surprised to see them win each match taking 0 pts scored ;) . argentina still has netherlands and ivory coast to play :goodjob: (if they beat both no prob i would say brazil may be in some trouble)

[Dragonfly5338]

ugh, i hate brazil.

[HeLLo iM iZzY]

cant hate on ronaldinhos team man :) lolll

BUEHLERTAL, Germany (AP) -- Wayne Rooney practiced with England on Thursday, hours after being cleared by doctors to play in the World Cup following his recovery from a broken right foot.

"The good news from yesterday evening and today is Rooney has no more injury, he is injury-free," coach Sven-Goran Eriksson said after practice, reading from a prepared statement. "Now it's up to us to get him match fit."

The morning after returning to Germany on a late-night flight from England, Rooney casually kicked a ball with David Beckham, Rio Ferdinand and Gary Neville before taking part in light running, stretching and ball drills. Shortly before the 15-minute portion of the practice session that was open to the media finished, Rooney joined a drill where players stood in a circle, trying to avoid passing the ball to a player in the middle.

Rooney had been kept out of such drills during England training sessions earlier this week.

Even though the 20-year-old Rooney is back on the England squad, he is unlikely to play until after the group games.


BOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!

Holy Sheizze, what a showdown between USA - ITALY. They definitely put up a good fight, and with one man less...

There were also some BS calls against the US...too many red cards.

But... they still have one last breath left...

[CALIWEST]

the japan vs croatia was an ok game...croatia didn't use their size advantage...also japan had so many breaks they just didn't capitalize on

[ironchef]

Anyone watch the games today? Ukraine really took it up a notch. The spain and tunisia was really good imo, really fast paced and hard fought, but then spain went on to score 3 goals in 20 minutes lol that kinda shut tunisia down lol.

[{X}Echo419]

[ironchef]

WC is ghey. the officating in the WC is worse than in the NFL :2cents:Not really, sure theres been one or two bad reffed games, but overall the refs have been pretty good. Except that one penalty kick in the usa game, but whatever usa was going to lose anyway lol.

ya refing is a joke in the world cup, i think they need another ref w/ a monitor to help call the major fouls, w/ a quick rewind on vid they can see if its truely a foul/offside or not. this shit is too close to call, ok just pull a card or call the foul... USA got robbed two games in a row and i'm not just saying that b/c i wanted them to win. some of the fouls called so far are really 1 sided and would not stand if there was someone watching the game by monitor. Italy/USA game is a prime example, both teams down to 9 players WTF :thinking: = lame

Hahhahaha 4 red cards. That game was dirty, lol.

[ironchef]

Portugal set a record for most yellow cards in a world cup game iirc with 9 haha. Although a couple of those were definitely bs.

[Dragonfly5338]

Hahaha Swiss v. Ukraine going to OT right now.

[ironchef]

1 yellow card the entire match lol, compared to 16 yesterday haha.

[Dragonfly5338]

1 yellow card the entire match lol, compared to 16 yesterday haha.


hahaha yeah the announcers said that the FIFA officials told the refs to chill out with the yellows.

[CALIWEST]

italy vs australia was funny..hahaha...93 minute and australia loses

[ironchef]

italy vs australia was funny..hahaha...93 minute and australia losesHaha yea, that was definitely a retarded move by that australian player, that ref definitely made a fair call unlike what some people were saying.

[CALIWEST]

it was a fair call...but the red card italy got was bs

[~The_Duke~]

I have concluded that 85% of the refs that have been calling the games this WC are complete retards that have picked a team that they want to win...
