Members mentoneman Posted November 19, 2005 Members Share Posted November 19, 2005 the hope of the US rests squarely on this man(he took this pic of himself on my cellphone after a LA Galaxy game)and with names like McBride, Reyna, Beasley, Fletcher, Johnson, Kasey Keller, Bocanegra, Specter, and Howard assisting him on the pitch, we are looking pretty darn strong this time around.I would definitely say this is the best US team we have ever fielded.

Members necropsy Posted November 19, 2005 Members Share Posted November 19, 2005 Brazil should make it to the final, no problem, but Germany will win it probably. They've been playing badly on qualifiers, and friendlies, but WC competition is a different thing. I also like the way England plays...they have the players, and the spirit. I hope they do well next year.We mexicans can only aspire to the 2nd round, and loose on penalties as we always do. We did ok on the Confederations Cup this past summer though.

Lionel Messi >> I think Riquelme is the key for Argentina. He's probably as important as Rooney is for us.Good to see Maradona's health has improved. Best. Footballer. Ever. For a team that has caused us so much heartache in previous World Cups, I have a real soft spot for Argentina... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not a soccer fan but it was awesome to watch. (Im more into Aussie rules football). i think 800 000 more people were watching during the penalty shoot-out than were watching the AFL grand final! (which sydney one ...well thats probably why...) 'the world game' is becoming even more-a global!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Skirmish Posted November 20, 2005 Members Share Posted November 20, 2005 Can't wait... I have tix for Dortmund (don't know what game until Dec.9th). I think the US team is going to surprise a few people. Also the Czech republic is not to be underestimated. Of course with teams like Holland, France, Brasil, Argentina, England Italy etc... you can't really predict who will win. I hope Germany will play great soccer this time around, if they do I hope they'll win. If not: may the best win.I'm really proud about the stadiums though: they are awesome! Everytime I go watch a game here in Hanover I admire the stadium more then paying attention to the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the way the lighting changes the exterior colour between Red, White and Blue depending on who is playing there.And the Westfallen Stadium holds great memories for me. Was there in 2001 to see Liverpool win the Uefa cup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Sick Michael Posted November 21, 2005 Members Share Posted November 21, 2005 Neither Irish team will be there, so I really couldnt give a crap. Even friggin Danmark didnt qualify. I'll resort back to supporting whoever England is playing. I sincerely hope that pack of woofters get a thrashing every game they play. Knut is right, Football is so boring now anyway....

Hey, there's pressure on everyone! If any player does not feel pressure playing for their country in the world cup, then he will certainly not be good enough to be picked!

Members Future Shock Posted November 21, 2005 Members Share Posted November 21, 2005 Guten Tag. Yay for Australia!!!It's a weird feeling to actually be in the World Cup. Been following the 'socceroos' for as long as I can remember, and suffered all the heartbreaks along the way - the worst being the last two campaigns against Iran and Uruguay again. Don't know if this has even sunk in yet. I almost shed a tear when Aloisi slotted home that last penalty...it was pretty emotional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
