So how many of you guys are looking forward to the upcoming tournament in Germany? I'm really excited about how things will develop in this tournament
I'm well up for it too. Holland vs. England in the finals. Would pose a bit of a dilemma for me but would love it nonetheless.
Easily the greatest event in sports. I have a friend who watches no sports — none at all. However, he does watch the World Cup every four years.
I CAN'T WAIT! Seriously, I am such a geeza bird when it comes to football. I feel lost since the football season ended and can't wait for the WC!! Of course I'm supporting England first. But also Holland & France. and holy crap - Brazil have such a shithot side! I'm just gonna watch every single match! And then write the results in the free WC table I got in a magazine so I can keep up with it all. ha ha ha. Yay, go ENGLAND!
What premiership team do you support? How can you support France? I think Brazil, Germany or England will probably win. But who expected Greece to win Euro 2004?
She's probably a Gunner, supporting Henry and the lot. True on the Greece comment, anything can happen! Can't see Germany getting far though... I laughed my arse off when their coach (Klinsman?) had to report to the government after their MASSIVE defeat during friendlies. They were getting worried their big E investment in the tournament was going to be quite an embarrassment...
I too am crazy about football. I would Like To See the last time finalists Brazil vs. germany this time too
Yeah man, that would be an awesome match! I really like how England plays. They have some very strong players. I don't know about you guys but i feel like a little kid awaiting his birthday and knowing he's getting some big ass presents Anyone interested in some sort of a poule or something? I am not very familiar with these type of things but i would like to place some bets if someone that knows how to set this up i would think it's an awesome idea. Also something that can go to a good cause or something from this poule is something that would be nice, like for instance Crazy_Rob's friend that is undergoing so much struggle in his life. I never have get myself involved with these type of things but it would be exciting to do i guess. Crazy_rob can hold the funds. I regard him as a trusted party so i don't think that part will be a problem. I've heard numerous people about joining in on a poule so i thought maybe this is a cool thing to have on DP
Final with both portuguese speakers countries. It would be a real party...and a real game! Portugal vs Brazil! Pooooortuuugaaaal!!!
Yep, as Tops said I'm a Gooner, so I'm backing my French boys after England & Holland get knocked out. England don't stand a flippin' chance. Is it any wonder? Most of our clubs are full of players from different countries rather from our own. So when it comes to the WC, and we put all the English players together...their performance ain't that great.
Yeah sounds good. I will try to figure out this weekend how set this up regarding the matches to be played in the first round. We need to have some sort of schematic to see the status of the games to be played in the first round. Who is picked to play against who.
Throw up a simple HTML table I guess. 'Bet' per match and one big bet for the winner. That's how we used to do it back home.
1st. match itself is going to be Intresting - GERMANY vs. COSTA RICA. Surprisingly Costa rica should win it
I found this site with a schematic of the matches to be played and how it pans out later on. But how can you tell which teams play against each other in the first round? There are 4 teams in each group but i can't tell wich of the 2 of the 4 will be playing first against each other. Is it the Netherlands against Argentina at first? or is the Netherlands playing first against Montenegro?
