I made a thread like this... "They" filled it with spam... :(

There's a simple solution, if this turns to spam it gets locked. All future football related threads will be locked - so it's essentially everyones last chance to get discussing this right before it can't be discussed here anymore :)

England are second favourites at most bookies now. Last I heard, Ladbrokes were giving 7-2.

I know it's a long-distance longshot, but I'm hoping to see USA win the World Cup.

It could happen!

...Yeah. And Helios bombs might fly out of my sphincter! ;)

Seriously, though, it's been gratifying to see America do as well as it has so far. Thank God for Korea.

Seeing the USA stay in the World Cup longer than Argentina was satisfying too. After having been born in Argentina and raised here in the States, it was greatly satisfying to see Argentina taken down a peg or two. :p

God bless America! :D

Still, if America gets knocked out (a very likely prospect), I'll root for England. And any Argentine who reads this is probably going to go apoplectic with rage at the idea of an Argentine-American rooting for England at anything! :p :ha:

Oh well. Not my problem. :D :cool:

Anything's possible this year. Of the favourites, France and Argentina are out, Italy and Germany are looking shaky. And that leaves England and Brazil, one of whom has to go out on....err.....Monday is it?

I was waiting for this to happen.
Personally, I want the USA to win. Not that it will ever happen. Unless pigs fly. I think they were damn lucky to get past the round robin part of the tournament and they're gonna lose to Mexico.

Look, a flying pig!

Wash: This landing's gonna get pretty interesting.
Mal: Define "interesting".
Wash: *shrug* "Oh God, oh God, we're all gonna die"?
Mal: This is the captain. We have a little problem with our entry sequence, so we may experience some slight turbulence and then... explode.

nope. I speak proper native English, not English American. Therefore the FA is the Football Association and not the Soccer Association and FIFA is FIFA.

They really should fix up the terminology... some countries call it soccer, others football... football is quite different from soccer if you live in Australia :)

Aistralian football blows. It's like a cross between pig-skin football and crappy rugby.
