No not really. I haven't seen Spain play until late last year. Switzerland? Who gives a shit about the holed cheese heads. I'm pulling this one out of my ass.

And if your goalkeepers play up to their ability as usual then I'm predicting an upset! UPSET!!!!!

USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! :wtf: :D

cant WAIT for saturday. what sucks is im gonna miss most of the games at work....but this weekend should be fun!

I predict a 1-1 tie. unless it goes to pks in the first round? which i dont think so.if so, i still think usa pulls it out. but bradleys coming to play, and dont sleep on buddle/gomez. those kids are the future.

go usa!

y la furia roja, theyre gonna win it all. viva espaNa

[maxbailey]

Argentina or Holland for me. I want England to do well, but I don't think they'll win, maybe semi-finals.

spain has good chances, but brazil is my pick

Right, NJ, I want World Cup pics and lots of them please. I don't care what they are of as long as they involve World Cup madness.

I'll do my best. This madness starts here today, the place is simply buzzing with anticipation. In true South African style, people are going apeshit, even in the small town we live in. Not near a stadium to watch, but you can feel it. Now that it's almost underway, there should be a lot more stuff to post.

My post above, the first few pics were of the SA team Bafana Bafana being parade for fans in Sandton, Johannesburg a couple of days ago.
You may notice a trumpet looking instrument, called a Vuvuzela (vuvu-zehla).
That thing is freakin loud. I am sure if you saw a broadcast of an international friendly from SA you would have seen/heard it.

Today, as in all other fridays before, we get all dressed up and fly the flags, blow the vuvuzelas and act like madmen. I'll post a few pics later after I get home (now 5h35 am) from work. Oh freakin yes I am taking off early to watch the opening ceremony and SA vs Mexico on telly.

I can only imagine the atmosphere, I was in Glasgow when Real Madrid won the Champions League in 2002 and when Sevilla won the UEFA Cup in 2007 and the atmosphere was awesome but it'll be nothing compared to a World Cup.

The opening ceremony was truly African.

South Africa the underdogs held Mexico to a 1-1 draw, having scored the first goal in the second half followed by a soft goal from Mexico.

The boys played an outstanding game today!! We are STILL undefeated in the last 13 games...

1 point considering the team we played is just plain fuckin AWESOME!!

Muwahahahahaha the goalies have done their team in again. I don't think Hart would've made a difference. I do say the slightly better team did score 2 goals. :D

But the U.S. did have better chances in taking the lead.

I'm betting Bill Buckner is rejoicing that someone has taken the mantle for one of sport's greatest gaffs.

Not be hating, just think it's fanny-assed that it takes 40 000 plus soccer fans to make a song work, rather leave it to the talented singers. Unlike the disappointing USA England game. What a plonker!!

I guess each country/region celebrates/chants/makes a noise in their own unique way. The vuvuzela is based on a traditional instrument used by tribes for celebration. So it's a cultural thing.

Besides, I was a little intoxicated. Didn't mean to hate. ;)

He's joking. Teams that are on the same amount of points are seperated by goal difference - goals scored minus goals conceded. He's saying that since england scored both goals we should be ahead. Sadly it doesn't work that way.

World Cup organising chief Danny Jordaan has revealed he may consider banning vuvuzelas from the tournament.

The sound of the trumpet-like instruments has droned through every match since the competition got under way in South Africa on Friday.

Singing from the stands has generally been drowned out as a consequence and Jordaan, the chief executive of the World Cup organising committee, admits action may have to be taken.

France playmaker Yoann Gourceff has blamed the vuvuzelas as one reason for their poor 0-0 draw with Uruguay and his captain Patrice Evra said he has been woken up by the vuvus at 6 am.

BULLSHIT!! You can't blame poor football on the fans, dumb fuck!!

But Evra also told French television that "the trumpets are a tradition in the country (South Africa). You can't start criticising them now."

Exactly. Get out of the kitchen if you can't handle the heat. Try coming to the country and experience the vibe a bit earlier next time. Arriving 6 days beforehand won't frikkin help you, MF's.

World football supremo Joseph Blatter has also defended the vuvuzelas as part of the unique African atmosphere ever since it made first big waves at the Confederations Cup last year.

Well at least someone has a brain!!

The commentators really beat up on Australia, but realistically, after they called that total bullshit red card on Cahill (?), Germany should have been able to eat them alive - but they couldn't.

[maxbailey]

Cahill should never have been red carded, it was a booking at worst. But Germany's work was done before that, they looked impressive. If England make the knockout stages they better win the group, you don't want to be facing a German team playing like that.

australia doesn't count as a real adversary, so this match doesn't say much about germany. see how "almighty" argentina/england had difficulties against half-decent teams?

So far all the teams I've chosen to lose have either lossed or better yet tied. No upsets yet.

Rommedhal is epic, not bad for a 31 year old. I really enjoyed that game, end to end stuff, some shocking defending and two teams that really wanted to win it good, not just sneak a 1-0.

Game of the tournament so far IMO.

Oh, and Cameroon are out of the competition and Holland are definitely through to the last 16.

If Rommedhal could do what he does for Denmark consistently, he would be in the Prem.

Like that's ever stopped anyone. Rafael Benitez was on a five year contract and he left Liverpool. The length of a contract is virtually meaningless. The best players get given a new contract every year in order to convince them to stay.

I appreciate that but Blatter is a twat. Almost every other sport can advance with technology with minimal disruption to the game. They can change rules left, right and centre about run-ups to penalties, pass-backs, simulation, the list goes on, but he won't keep up with the times. Goal line technology has been a contentious issue long before the Lampard/Tevez 'goals'. Something should have been done before now.

Did I mention that I think he's a twat?
