Hello, I know a little about football, but I have to let you know that football season in over. I like both the NFL and college football. I think the Dallas Cowboys will be good this year and the New Orleans Saints should also be tough this year.

I also like the chances of my school, the Oregon State Beavers to have a good year.

There you go, that is good information on football. =-))

Any more questions feel free to ask.

You f-ing whopper.

Back on topic, I'm fancying France to beat Uruguay 2-1 (they're sh*t, their coach is sh*t, but Uruguay will probably try and snap some legs as usual and needlessly get a couple of players sent off a few minutes after a Forlan opener).

South Africa 1-1 Mexico. Cautious and fairly uninspiring opener which neither will want to risk losing. Might have gone for a South Africa win having seen how sh*t Mexico were against England, but I don't think SA have quite enough about them.

My predictions:
-- Asleep before first match.
-- Good rest, likely up to pee around 3
-- Up for a run at around 5:30, expect to finish 10k at around 0:53:00

hey ilovexiaolongbao, long lost cousin of longshao

how the f*** do you know how many goals are gonna be scored?

what are you, a f-ing gypsy?

i predict there will be 3 farts during the game tonight.

No, we like ilovexiaolongbao spouting inanity much more

In my defense, I'd like to point out that I'm not using the same jokes. It was a new joke.

But seriously man, people who predict how many goals are scored should consider making a living with a crystal ball and call themselves The Great Gazoo.

USA 2, England 1

Footie takes hold in the colonies!

(PS we learned everything we needed to know from Beckham)

My money's on New Zealand and Nigeria.

Literally. That's the draw I got in the office pool.

What does that have to do with whether or not Brady will be back with the Patriots after his contract expires?

USA 2, England 1?

No way.

For some reason I'd wish England luck this time.

It's always difficult to predict these group stage games, but here goes:

SA v Mexico----draw
Uruguay v France ------France win
Argentina v Nigeria----Argentina win
South Korea v Greece-----SK win

England v USA.

I'm pretty nervous about this one actually. Let's not forget USA beat Spain and narrowly lost out to Brazil in the Confederations Cup final. They're no slouches. I'm worried that we could lose this, but USA have pretty bad form in the group stages usually.

I really don't want to predict this, because it will come back to bite me in the arse, but I'm going with a narrow England win.

American Idiots, can't you go and start an 'I hate soccer thread'? Then if you do well, maybe a 'USA are the best football team in the world' thread.

Knob-ends.

interesting, contrasting england vs american syles/attitudes

USA loss would be England tragedy

SA v Mexico -- Mexico, by the scruff of their neck. I'm betting first red card in that match
Uruguay v France -- Uruguay. No idea how good they are, but I'm all for France going out in the first round.
Argentina v Nigeria -- Argentina despite Maradonna's efforts
South Korea v Greece -- Greece
England v USA -- Englaaaaaaaand!!!! Hopefully. Haha! USA's no longer a push-over.

Lol, the group games don't go to penalties, herbs.

Bless

SA 2 Mexico 1
Uruguay 1 France 0
