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.

OK.. ABC tv in the US just showed us ADS when the pre-final game festivities were on! So nearly a half-hour of ads! Real Scumbags!!!

My friend in Panama got to see Sharkira's performance.

I found a clip of it:

My hubby is Aussie and has quite a grudge that the Ref gave Italy that extra time! 'Should have been Aus v France'.. blah blah blah!
