You know, even if this game ends up a tie it would have been worth it to stay up so late. :)

Cameroon had a lot of good shot opportunities, but they kept going way over the goal.

Italy - NZ 1:1

Of course, I liked it better when NZ was leading 0:1, but I'll take what I can get.

Portugal - North Korea on the way.

What do you guys know about the missing NK players? Hungarian experts say that we have to wait until the end of the tournament to find out. We've got unconfirmed rumors as of yet.

 :eek2:  I've always thought that I am the only hungarian here!

Anyway, wasn't this whole thing a fake? As far as I've read, they were already found. (http://itn.co.uk/ad53905038feefa783c35230c9243be1.html, South African police said that all the team members have been accounted for.[/i) ]Anyway, 7-0 for Portugal is crushing.


Any tips for Chile-Switzerland? I was betting for a 0:0. Quite unprobable, gives a 7,25 odds but we have two strong defenses and not so strong attackers. Opinions?

At the moment, France-South Africa is 0:2, Mexico-Uruguay 0:1. Meaning RSA has to score 4 goals or more to continue in the tourney....

I can't think of a single word in that phrase that isn't redundant in some way.  French is a synonym with failure, and French failures (this phrase right here is redundant) are always foreseeable.

Yes, their help during the American Revolution and their gift of the statue of liberty were REAL big failures. :rolleyes:

Good thing thats not always true else my country would still be British colony.  Not to mention they beat the tar out of the rest of Europe for the first quarter of the 1800s.

He's a Corsican which is an island in the Med.  Plus I don't quite recall the Napoleonic Wars consisting of him personally beating up all the armies of Europe with his bare hands, ergo the "he wasn't really French so they still suck" is a useless argument.  Despite the silly uniforms the Grand Army was a fearsome thing.

I think Napoleon was born "Napoleono Buonoparte" or something like that, and Corsica happened to be Italian before France got it soon after Napoleon was born.

So yeah, Napoleon was Italian (although that's not much better), and France was the only nation at the time that used total civilian mobilization and a mass-draft army similar to how the later European armies would work, so they were a bit ahead of the curve, but they did lose in the end.

And they did end up losing twice, even with Britain occupied with their uppity former colonies.

Oh, and there's this:

It's genuine. It's an 'Easter Egg' that was added to the 'I'm feeling Lucky' option. It still works.

The only reason Britain didn't pull a full scale invasion of America in 1812 was because France kept them plenty occupied in Europe.

Well how about that. I stand corrected.
