Official World Cup Thread!

[nej]

It's about time we had a thread to celebrate the best sporting event in the world - the footie world cup! (For our US friends, by football we mean an actual round ball kicked with feet, and by world cup we mean a competition that other nations are actually allowed to play in, unlike the world series lol!).

Only kidding, last time round the US did very well, suprising everyone.

So far we have Germany beating Costa-Rica 4-2 and Ecuador beating Poland 2-0.

In 4 and a half hours we have the BIG ONE - the 1st England game. Can't wait!

Hey nejjy baby,can't wait matey. Also intend to make a lot of money trading the World Cup. England should win today, I'll be laying the draw then backing it once they score. I did this in last nights Poland match and won some good cash, would also have worked for the Germany game but the day job stopped me getting involved!!!

Tip for anyone out there that can sign up with a betting exchange, back France and Spain to win with the intention of laying them off once they get to the last 8 which they should do.

Holland are indeed looking good. Argentina are looking the best. 6-0!

Angola did well to hold Mexico last night also.

Next week will be interesting, with Germany v Ecuador (who are playing very well) and England v Sweden (who we haven't actually beaten for a very long time) deciding the finishing order of the first two groups, and therefore the next round draws.

We really don't want to meet Germany in the 2nd round, but then again, if Ecuador beat them, would we really want Ecuador? Perhaps Germany would be better... but I'd still much rather meet Germany in the final.... might be a small matter of Argentina in the quarters and Brazil in the Semi's though...!

Aaaarghhh, I have to miss this match too... the estate Agents had to come on both Friday & Saturday to evaluate my countryside home...that's now going UP-4-Sale.... yup, we are moving too and to somewhere real nice and where lots of exotic foods are in store.... I'm reeling from GRUBlag.....

Ok, here's more pics on my other coach mates (15 of our travel agents went on the VIP coach) that made to the match against Ivory Coast.

Have fun...have an ORANGE Team... on 06.16.06

Snap these & see the pitch: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 &10.

Compliments from my mates from our Travel Organisation, Carthago Travel.

Where you moving to, Yogi? Malaysia?

Interesting results last night. Ghana beat the Czech Republic in a result that nobody could have guessed, and the USA held Italy to a draw. That group is still wide open.

Gotta love Thailand, Phuket is the best place on earth.

Back to World Cup news, Korea held France with a late equaliser, meaning Group G is going to be an intersting fight between France, Korea and Switzerland for the top 2 spots.

No intersting games today, really. Spain are playing and will win. Saudia Arabia will probably lose to Ukraine, providing they can pull it together better than they did against Spain.

The interesting stuff starts tommorow...

I know another PIPSter from Wales putting up in Phuket and he's married to that beach while I'm heading & taking on one in Chiang Mai (for Investment purposes) but will also get another for our own residence in Hua Yin...a better "cove-like" location secured in a lagoon, geographically sculptured and ideal against any 35 meter monsoon squalls.... from the South China Sea but that hasn't EVER taken place.

I'd give the Saudis a draw or a 1 goal extra lead over Ukraine and between the Koreans and the Swiss, it may end as a tie in goals too... muscles are tightening and both sides have learnt new strategies to be put into contingency action...
Won't jump out of the settee... like my Guinness to stay calm, bold and bloody BLACK!!!

Cheers mate....
