Official World Cup Thread
All things Cup here
Who is your pick to take the cup home? :soccer: (wow, I actually found a use for that icon) |
holy shit, it starts today doesn't it?! *is excited*
i've decided to root for canada...:D |
|
I know nothing of the beautiful game, I always think the players should have been in Hollywood, though they're extremely talented with the ball.
So which are considered the 5 strongest teams on paper? |
Can you really see Wayne Rooney as a leading man? Except for in a monster movie (he'd be the monster).
|
Vinnie Jones did it, and he is an ugly bastard

Have you seen Rooney though? He makes Vinnie look like Johnny Depp.
More than a passing resemblance to Shrek? |
He has an incredibly lumpy skull
I pick Germany over Costa Rica today and Poland over Ecuador |
I think you're right. But I still hope that Germany lose.
Go Costa Rica!!!! |
Quote:
Brazil , Argentina , Italy ,Holland , England. Although i`m sure theres a case for France & Germany to be included in that too. |
whats the world cup?
|
better than a Sox World Series :laughing:

Saw this thing where they comapared each team to something.Thought it was worth sharing.......
Germany are a bit like ...... Keith Richards - They once rocked the world but are now knackered & falling to bits Poland are a bit like ...... The Liberal Democrats - Very dull , desperate to be in the big time, but sadly never going to mount a serious challenge Ecuador are a bit like ...... Nicola from Girls Aloud - Delighted to be making up the numbers. Yet may just do enough to build up a cult following. Costa Rica are a bit like ...... Starbucks - They`ve got a bit of a daft name and they`re great for coffee but thats about it. England are a bit like ...... Your missus' period - Regular as clockwork at frustrating you. Also involve blood & shouting. Sweden are a bit like ...... The cast of Hollyoaks - You`d struggle to name two , but you know they`re blonde and potentially heartbreaking. Paraguay are a bit like ...... Jodie Marsh - Two outstanding features upfront , but a bit shaky in other departments. Trinidad & Tobago are a bit like ...... Scotland - A handful of England based journeymen and a fantastic travelling support may make them popular but can`t disguise the mediocrity on the pitch. Argentina are a bit like ...... Ruth Badger from The Apprentice - They deserve success , but it`s still hilarious to watch them cry when they lose. Holland are a bit like ...... Jaffa Cakes - Orangy things that crumble badly under the slightest pressure. Serbia & Montenegro are a bit like ...... World Snooker Champion Graeme Dott - Scratchy , short of creativity and don`t deserve the respect they deserve, But a solid defence that might just spring a surprise. Ivory Coast are a bit like ...... Ricky Hatton - Rock hard and blessed with surprisingly good technique.But can they cope against the worlds best? Portugal are a bit like ...... Apollo Creed - Despite all the talent & talking a great fight beforehand , they usually end up utterly humiliated. Mexico are a bit like ...... Jenson Button - They qualify well , start even better and then blow up halfway through. Iran are a bit like ...... Sunderland - Thown in with the big boys , they take a regular pasting yet keep coming back for more. Angola are a bit like ...... Paul Danan - Basically just asking for someone to give them a thorough beating. Italy are a bit like ...... Oasis - They keep coming back with a swagger and new members , but you know in your heart of hearts they`re not as good as they once were. Czech Repuplic are a bit like ...... Super Furry Animals - Despite perfoming well at major festivals nobody is really that bothered about them :( USA are a bit like ...... Chelsea - No matter how much you dislike them they`re good now & are not going to go away. Ghana are a bit like ...... Eastenders - A rather laboured line up built around the efforts of two central hardmen. Brazil are a bit like ...... Bob Dylan - They crashed badly in 1966 and have an infamous reputation for ill advised haircuts. Croatia are a bit like ...... A 1988 Brown Volvo Estate - Thoroughly dull , bulky at the back, depressingly functional and about as attractive to watch as your grandmother on the toilet. Austrailia are a bit like ...... James Blunt - No matter how much you want them to fail , you have a horrible feeling they`ll do well. Japan are a bit like ...... Keith Chegwin - Incredibly enthusiastic , despite a history of setbacks. You know they`ll make the most of whatever situation they find themselves in. France are a bit like ...... The Scissor Sisters - Behind the mincing & prancing there is a hell of a lot of talent. Switzerland are a bit like ...... A Fake Rolex - It may say it`s swiss and it may look like it`s swiss but in reality it`s not. South Korea are a bit like ...... The La's - One great hit may become a curse as they try to live up to in in vain. Togo are a bit like ...... Eddie The Eagle Edwards - Set to become a national sporting embarrassment of the highest level Spain are a bit like ...... Liverpool - They`re Spanish and they`re probably never going to win the one trophy they really want. Ukraine are a bit like ...... The Great Britain's Women's Curling Team - Dour , pasty and everybody's only heard of one player. Tunisia are a bit like ...... Bolton Wanderers - A squad of vaguely familiar players with a habit of scoring most of their goals from dead ball situations. Saudi Arabia are a bit like ...... Two Pints Of Lager & A Packet Of Crisps Please - Not really worth watching. |

|
I'm thinking about shelling out the $190.00 and getting the Croation and the Mexican team over here to wash my cars. They wont have much else to do in a couple weeks anyway :laughing:

I fear for the island imploding from the suspense.

You should see here. George Cross flags everywhere...it's incredible.

Brasil's looking tough this year.
England doesn't have a shot of winning. I'm rooting for Costa Rica over Germany. And did you guys hear about the rules? Because of the whole Neo Nazi thing over in Germany, any fan that starts using racial slurs will be thrown out of the stadium or something like that, Over and out |

We really don`t stand a chance :rolleyes: |
Ecuador 2-0 over Poland
Incredible |
Well i was really rooting for Poland as i watched that game :(

Sorry, wont happen again :o:
but for future reference, if you are trying to avoid getting the football scores it is probably a good idea to stay out of the WORLD CUP thread :laughing: |
I really didn't expect it. It just leapt out at me from nowhere.
MURDER your interest in football for a Canadian makes me wonder. What's the story here... |
nice goals by germany

And yes I know what the world cup is, lets not lump all of America together, I live in New England, not Montana. NE is more like europe than it is like America. |

My city is largely inhabited by English, Irish, and Scottish. In other words there are more bars than doctors offices. The reason for the football is because of this and our league play coverage on the TV is so awful that we basically only get decent television coverage of the cup. It is a one month football party here Only a couple hours until the England game, however I have to go straight to the pub right after I leave work.The drawback to this is that I have to shower in the trucker shower here, which repulses me beyond belief. I mean if you were on the road for six days straight, where is the first place you would drop off a couple of knuckle children?? I shudder to think about how much trucker spoo that drain has consumed. I think I will line the floor with plastic seat covers. At least after that I will be getting drunk and will hopefully forget about the experience. Nonetheless GROSS!!! If you learn one thing by this post, it should be that "TRUCKA'S ARE DIRTY MUTHA FUKKA'S" |
What is everyone doing for the game??
