^ many american ppl are getting interviewed, and they seem to be so confident that you'd think they're 100% sure of USA taking the cup.

mexico 3-1 iran. of course the mex team played like crap. I can't believe how those players that have an annual salary over 500,000 USD can't win easily over a bunch of amateurs and 4 real players :roll: Now only very bad luck can prevent mexico to advance to the next round.... I wish
portugal didn't had a picnic with angola.
for tomorrow the best dish is brazil-croatia. My guess is a 3-2 brazil wins. It will be a great game, fav players!!
the other 2 games are italy-ghana (my guess is 2-0), and usa-czech.. could be a draw or czech wins 1-0

Well all I cared about today was for the dutch to loose.
You see, I hate the dutch now, because of the UEFA under 21 final.
SCREW THE DUTCH!

Hey my very good friend is a Spaniard!
Me and him are going to watch the game live at his shop(he runs a computer store) wednesday.
I think its going to be a good game.
Ukraine is a very talented team.
Spain on paper is one of the best teams out there, no arguments, but Spain doesnt play so well internationaly.
I think its going to the game to watch.
And I dont bet with friends
I'll bet you a coffee or lunch, if you ever make it here

and I don't bet with drug-lords
in the paper, Spain has a more balanced team than Ukraine, but IMO a draw will be that match's result

Well, Portugal won Angola, but only 1-0.
By the start of the game, Portugal could have done the 2-0, but on the 2nd half they just didn't played nothing special...
But.. as Figo said... the important is the result. Let's hope they keep winning and, if possible, play nice football also.

Australia just beat Japan 3-1, which is the signal for mad people to drive around hooting their horns, screaming, whistling, and playing Ricky Martin songs at high volume.

Allright ... France-Switzerland 0-0
Not the big clash against Switzerland we were expecting, a lot of missed opportunities on both sides but nothing happened ... as usual

dammit, I was going for Croatia and they really could have tied.
They had the second half.
Oh well...
My teams are:
Ukraine
Croatia
Czech
Gotta go for the Slavs.
Not bad so far. Czechs got the Yanks, Croatia did ok vs the best team in the world and Ukraine has the chance to beat Spain tomorrow.
Cant wait for tomorros game.
