Yes, World cup.. how will xxx team do, how will xxx continent do, how will hosts do, how will players do.\n\nBARF\n\nI can't believe that the same gets asked (and answered) other than to recall that someone gets a best answer vote and (hopefully) a entry to win a trip to said world cup (and if they have to ask the questions like they are, then they don't deserve to be going, do they?)\n\nThe other ones I'm personally sick of is these knuckleheads who ask how to get in touch with or for the phone number or email address of xxx player... whether it be for someone off a 3rd division English side or Ronaldinho, odds are if you have to ask how to contact the guy, he isn't gonna reply.

Hello Jose..hope you are enjoying the cup.\nCroatia impressed me. Brazil in this game did not but we all know what they are capable of but Italy seem solid. They have a great technical game. Run the ball hard along the ground, not too much of their game played in the air. I think this makes them the best choice out of the three thus far. In the end that is what the game is about and will probably win the tournament.

soccer sucks heres why\n\nSoccer participants actually fellate one another. \n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n \nSoccer participants are walking advertisements. \n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n \nFrance is successful at participating at soccer. That should say something, especially to the British. \n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n \nThe "World" Cup is not the a World's Cup, but a competition among 32 countries, disproportionately allotted to European countries. \n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n \nSoccer hooligans. \n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n \nSoccer is boring. Soccer is absurdly slow. I've had soccer apologists say with false pride how the average soccer participant "runs" 4 miles in a game. Newsflash: that means they are jogging less than 3 miles per hour. Translation: they are mostly standing around. BORING. \n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n \nSoccer participants act like they've been shot - what pussies. Meanwhile, real athletes like Donovan McNabb or Bobby Baun play on broken legs. \n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n \nSoccer is too simple an activity. \n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n \nPenalty kicks. You are determining a winner by a random event that has no relevance to the rest of the game. It would be as stupid as replacing extra innings with batting practice. \n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n \nFruity penalty cards. How stupid is it to flash up some card to indicate the severity of a penalty? Richard Simmons was inspired to use them in his diet system. Are all penalties the same? Again, the inability to use the upper torso hampers soccer participants. Use hand signals, you troglodytes. \n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n \nPsychotic fans. The South Korean loser who set himself on fire is one example. The mental stability of the murderer who killed that one player because he sucked (free clue: all soccer participants suck) is another. \n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n \nTies: 55% of games are ties. Ties suck. \n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n \nWhy not use your hands? Or your brain? \n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n \nSoccer participants do not bathe. \n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n \nSoccer hairdos. \n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n \nPompous pseudo-intellectual Europeans who become soccer fans in order to convince the populace of their link to the common man. \n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n \nSoccer participants with one name. I can understand why your parents would disown any soccer participant, but they should take at least any last name. \n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n \nSoccer hilites concentrate on what almost happens. When ESPN has the poor sense to show soccer hilites, they show missed shots, missed passes, etc. Any real sport shows things that actually contribute to the result. Soccer participants do not care about the result. \n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n \nSoccer fans justify the activity based entirely on its popularity. Not only are the reasons why soccer is popular an argument against soccer, but it really shows how patheti

Not as bad as Canadian hockey fans felt at the Olympics, but still pretty bad. I had my pro-Swiss answer deleted on YA France; it was considered "not an answer" but it was, I think they're touchy! LOL.\n\nOh and thanks for deleting the Sweden question.\n\nHopp Schwiiitz!

well the reaction cannot be any worse judging from the 06 WC. It is difficult to say how they would do. great players with an unexperienced coach. leaves a ? mark

What is football to me... it changed my life, i played it when i was young kid for about 2 years in a team, then i left it then started at 15, been playing it ever since.. i am currently 19 playing in state league in Sydney, Australia... it changed me physically, mentally, socially. It made me realise that it changed the life of many children in disadvantaged communities all over the world, away from drugs and fighting. It is great for World Peace... Maybe not for England VS Argentina.. but it is still good. :D

Hey Sabrina,\n\nThe referee happened to that game. He ruined what was looking like being a really good match.Now I am an Aussie that outside of my Socceroo's has followed Italy loyally since before the 2002 WC. The disallowed goal was a bad decision, I do not see the offside play that was cited, however The USA rose to the occasion today and the bad sportsmanship shown by De Rossi (sorry if I got that wrong) deserved the red card and he made it very hard on the rest of the team. There was no need for that and I was embarrassed for the Italian side. The referee's handling of the entire game was one of the most pitiful and inconsistent displays thus far.I hope he is demoted. It would have been a great game without his presence.

Sadly it seems like a by product of what the forum has over time evolved into. It would be nice if we could respect each others opinions and all be friends, after all we are here because of our love for football not to hate each other.

I did some volunteer moderating for an english virtual chat site. I don't think of them as any different, other than the slang they use. Frankly, I can't STAND it. IE: "wot fancy fit fab lad wold like 2 bloody snog me???"

Disgraceful. FIFA'S way of punishing Australia for the Kewell incident. But how high did they rise above the challenge. I never thought I could feel more proud. Anyway back to Poll. Tackle on Viduka ignored, 2 handballs by the same Croatian player ignored. Croatian player manhandles the referee during a hissy fit and is allowed to stay on the field. Brett Emerton's 2nd yellow card was a farce. The Croatian Captain allowed to stay on the field after a second yellow card and don't even try to tell me a referee is that stupid he could make a mistake like that. He ignored it and issued a 3rd yellow card. They were just the main things. What a joke. Let's see if FIFA have the guts to discipline him like they should. This only proves my case for a minimum fee for referee's with a negotiated balance after the match based on their performance. $40 000 to give a performance like that.

I wasn't impressed at all. I didn't see anything that showed me that they can beat Brazil. In fact, I have heard through reliable resources that the US is going to knock of Italy.\nItaly couldn't beat their way out of a wet paper bag if they had too.

Yeah! Totally it dawned on me today and I was so depressed lol! Especially as before the World Cup I wasnt even interested in football but after seeing a few matches i was totally hooked. It will be missed. I probably wont be bored but i will miss it.\n\n(Totally irrelevant but It was a shame Czech Republic went out so early :'( ) \n\nGo England =D
