Ugh I wanted Spain to win not so much Italy but anyway spain have way more talented players than Korea. Hopefully Spain can beat Korea if they have a match against each other.

You are right. Unfortunately, despite all it's wonderful qualities, The World Cup is the modern version of war for some people who prefer to hate the other teams  than to enjoy the game...

Ok maybe not during the whole world cup.. but ya some referees are crazy LOSERS and should be fired! Notably for the Portugal-Netherlands game or even the Italy and USA... they need to change the system! Maybe there should be 2 refs??? I don't know, but it's just not working!!!

I'm not sad. i'm pissed. they hit robben in the chest, and the ref did not see it. Portugal sucks big time and they will not win the world cup!

i have no idea, sorry..but i totally agree with u on that one.. it was really unfair.. there was no foul at all. why the hell did he give spain that penalty?? that guy fell without even being tackled.. they said that ukraine guy pulled his shirt, but from my POV and from different camera angles, i couldn't see it at all.. actually,he isn't the only unfair referee.. several others are also on my 'hate-list'..the one for france-swiss match was crappy as well, as for the tunisia-s.arabia..well,if u manage to find a way to complain to FIFA about their referees, count me in that petition.. i'm right behind you,mate..

I are thinking about what team will champion. I are thinking hard and long about it. I wake up late at night and am in sweaty heat over team champion!?./// How many times do I have to say that it is one thing to be foreign and another to not even try! \n\nAnd in responce to your question BIT Worldcup, yes, Brazil is quite sour!

First, I'd just like to say that I know plenty of people who are extremely excited about the world cup. Like getting up in the middle of the night, having huge parties to watch the game, painting their faces, getting crazy and unruly excited about it. America as a whole is not a soccer country, but there are plenty of soccer fans in the U.S.\nSecond, while this guy was sort of an ass about his dislike of the sport, I do see his point. America gets a lot of criticism from the rest of the world for not liking soccer. But it's not like we are required to. If another country, smaller, less influential country chose not to be fanatic about a sport, no one would care. I think this is used as another chance to attack America. And, believe me, there are lots of reasons to dislike America (this coming from a proud American) but the fact that we generally dislike a sport that everyone else likes is a pretty superficial reason for attacking America. And I think that's what the author of the article is reacting to. He's being defensive because he's constantly being treated as having less intelligent, less complex (or whatever) taste just because he doesn't like soccer. \nSo, yeah, this guy is sort of a jerk. But you must not take his view as the one that all Americans have. And you should also understand that Americans are a little sick of people telling them that they SHOULD like soccer just because everyone else does.

Them winning the Euro was certainly the biggest upset I have witness in Sports, I still have trouble believing it as the Euro is the toughest tournament ... now how can you win it and not be able to qualify for the world cup? I don't kow,I'm not surprised but it does not make a lot of sense either. http://www.soccerphile.com/soccerphile/wc2006/q-groups/index.html their group did not include any past winner or runner up of the WC but ......

You are satirizing those who asked "who will win wc?".\nnobody understands your teasing q.\n\nI too feel why they asking like this?

Exactly. You got it completely right. The world cup is the place for the communication of civilizations and defining a team by the politics of its country is a unsporting attitude and should be punished right away.\n\nI give you an example, whenever Germany plays in the world cup does this team remind you of Adolph Hitler? If it does, then you got a problem. Exactly same with Iran, Iran's got a national team that plays for the pride of its people and has nothing to do with the government. For the honor of the same people who have been exploited and plundered by Ayatollahs and Arabs for centuries after the fall of Persian Empire. So the most stupid thing that someone can do is to identify a country by its politics in the world cup or like versa.

The Netherlands. See the matches they played in 1974, 1988, 1990, 1992. And there's obvious non-football related emotions as well.\n\nSome examples:\n\nGerman players refused to shake hands with Dutch players before their 1988 WC Qualification tie in Munich because Ronald Koeman had wiped his *** with a German shirt during the EC 1988.\n\nDuring EC 1988 a banner in the stadium read "Grandpa, I got your bike back !", Germans used to steal bikes from dutch people during World War 2.\n\nLothar Matthaus has been the most hated German in Holland for a couple of years (I know this hatred is aimed the other way round)\n\nFrank Rijkaard spit on Rudi Voeller during the WC 1990 when they were both sent off.\n\nLet's hope there's going to be a Germany-Holland in this WC!

This is the sort of thing a typical Argie-hater/English person would say when they are scared.. I know this from experience. I and a lot of other fans had the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to shake Diego Maradona and the selections' hand when they came to Sydney in the 1990's for the World cup qualifier against Australia. Needless to say Argentina won, but at the games there were many English fans shouting the same bullshit about the Malvinas and the 'Desaparecidos' of the 1970's, talking political shit just to bring us down because they have nothing else to throw at us.. CHEAP. I also remember as a child attending an endless amount of soccer games in Sydney in the early 1980's(being that my dad played for Independiente Mar del Plata back in the mid to late 60's),again, with Aussies poms shouting out the same shit just to intimidate us.. Holding up huge signs at the entrance to the stadium about the disappearance of thousands of people in Argentina back in the 70's.., about Perontistas and communism and all that other crap that has abosutely nothing to do with Football.. I remember being in the midst of a riot on the streets of Sydney and Argie fans picking up cans and making music and shouting out Argentinian cheers and songs and the police arresting my dad for being hit in the head with a beer bottle, by a group of drunk Aussie and pommie supporters.. calling us wogs and telling us to go back to our own country..lol.... whatever.. And yes i think Argentina has a very good chance of winning. We have numerous players with more potential than hhmm ..lol.. Beckem...lol.. Okay so Maradona messed up.. but has there been anyone like him yet? Has any other player done what Diego did in his prime??? Poms, your are acting scared.. This is a new generation of scared.. a fear that will never leave your blood.. Stop using poilitics for your advantage, this is a sports game, If there is one thing pommy fans lack it is SPORTSMANSHIP, ever heard of it pommies???

HAHA. Another disgruntled fan. Don't be angry because you're team didn't have what it takes to win the cup.

I laugh because I live in the states.  I have to watch the early match at lunchtime. I left work to go over and watch the Germany match.  But the Polish guy beats me to the TV....so I walk in and Poland is on. Well....after Poland scores the go ahead goal, he is "whooooohooooing" and jumping up and down. I didn't have the heart to tell him that the game was meaningless..........let him think he just won the World Cup.  Sad....very sad.
