2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa

[DesLife]

I really hope Mexico will make it, I'd be sad if the two teams I root for get eliminated.

[Matyuv]

Well Argentina's defence doesn't look too great I think... so Mexico has a chance there I guess (thought I haven't rly watched any matches that Mexico played )

[Locas]

WOO, GO GERMANY! WOO!

[Matyuv]

I wonder what team will be playing against England in 1/8 final now. Germany?

Hopefully not. They'll eat our ass for breakfast.

Haha it IS Germany

At least you admit it though I don't know if French people are better than English people

No comment.

[Cairnie]

How much dya wanna bet that the England VS Germany match will echo that of the Euro 96 one?

I've never been to England, but French people sure are annoying sometimes.

We're not as annoying as the French (no offence, annoying is gooooood ), but if you don't understand our humour, you're finished. We can be kinda violent too.

You never know, Germany may fluke their match and England may play to such a standard as they did in today's first half against Slovenia! It's unlikely though.

We were like... liquid awesome. Some of the passes were sublime but it won't continue, sadly. We never quite make it to the top spot. That's why we love underdogs.

[Xenon]

I think so, but let's be honest, our team's pretty overrated.

Our as in Germany, or our as in England?

[Tobbe]

England is overrated, Germany is underrated. Özil has been the player of the tournament so far!

England isn't overrated - everyone KNOWS its crap.
Half of Brits support Germany this World Cup, so to say it's underrated is to be vastly misinformed.

[Tobbe]

It's overrated as hell in Norway. We are probably the most anglophile nation in the world - including England. Everybody here (me included) love English football, and most of us have a favourite team on the other side of the North Sea in addition to our local Norwegian teams. I have realised what most other Norwegians haven't, though: That although the English Premier League is probably the best league in the world at the moment, this doesn't apply to your national team.

Woooow... I love Norweigans now Most of us over here don't think we stand a chance. We're meant to be good, but the USA topped us... what does that say? We're very fickle when it comes to football, we always have a 'back-up' team we can support if our favourite loses a match.

[Tobbe]

Good news, everyone! I just looked at the table for the knockout stages, and I realised that there will be at least one big surprise in this year's World Cup. One of the following teams is guaranteed to reach the semi-finals: Uruguay, South Korea, USA or Ghana! If USA or Ghana reaches the semis, it will be the first time they get this far. South Korea surprisingly reached the semis when they hosted the tournament in 2002. Uruguay, on the other hand, have won the World Cup twice, in 1930 in Montevideo, and in 1950 in Brazil. However, the last time they got further than the last 16 was back in 1970, so it's been a while since Uruguay was a major footballing nation.

EDIT: Correction of a rookie mistake: The US of course reached the semi-finals in the very first World Cup back in 1930.

[Jewish Candy]

I will cry if the US makes it to the semis. They have everything they need; 'soccer' is the only place where we can laugh at them openly. Ghana should get it, or maybe Uraguay.
