World Cup, bitches

I don't watch, but a coworker of mine took off work on Friday to watch it. He's from Mexico so he's a big Mexico fan naturally.

Sweden has a soccer team?

Did they put it together themselves?

Sadly, thats the best I can do.

I have a gut feeling Brazil WON'T win, mark my words fellow GT people.

My 2 teams I am supporting are Australia and Italy. Should be interesting how Australia goes.

Are there any German members on GT? God your country must be going off right now!

My cousin lives in England, and scored tickets to this thing a year ago or something. So yeah, go England.

Sweden actually has a few good players. I was talking to my dad about some of the teams, and since he is really into the European and English leagues, he was telling me about all of the players from the English league teams that are on the different teams in the world cup. Apparently Sweden has a really good Striker, but that's all I remember at the moment.

Ha, no, I know. They're not bad.

I think it's a joke how the US is ranked 4th in the world. They're not even close. It's because Fifa has a stupid way of ranking. They determine by games played in your area, and win percentage, or something. So obviously The US doesnt have much competition, considering it's really just Canada, Mexico, and some Island countries.

Thank god fifa recognized this and is changing the rule next year.

The first Dutch match sucked.... it was hot and slow... and Dutch gameplay is boring to watch.

I missed our guilds first Nefarian (big bad-ass dragon) kill!

That'd be either Larsson who plays for Barcelona, Ibrahimovic who plays for Juventus, or Allback who plays for FC Copenhagen....maybe Ljungberg from Arsenal.

...and I think Typh's joke was about how IKEA is a Swedish company and you usually have to put the furniture together yourself...which I did yesterday actually ( a cabinet).

Canyarion · 06-12-2006, 05:54 PM

Oh lol now I get his joke.

bobcat · 06-12-2006, 11:15 PM

Australia wins 3-1
Italy wins 2-0

Woo hoo

It probably isn't Ljunberg, he's a midfielder. I'm guessing Ibrahimovic.

He's the best of the three.

Oh, and Typh, Japan isn't that bad really. Neither is Ghana. And as Bobcat said, It's Australia's second time in the cup.

Me, I want the Netherlands to win. Only if I had some money to buy their shirts... Love that orange..

Well obviously they arent bad if they're in the world cup.
But considering the other teams you have, Ghana is ****.
They are about 231 to 1, to win the world cup.

And you people dont know soccer fans well. I'm saying things to get on peoples nerves. Thats what soccer fans do to opposing fans.

I was referring to Larsson then. I also knew that there was a player on Sweden from Arsenal, because that's my dad's favorite British club team.

And thanks for clearing up Typhoid's joke, if that is infact what what he was referring to.

I also have another comment about the World Cup. I kind of hate how safe they play it. It's almost as if they are more worried about losing than they are about winning. It's probably because of all the **** that might go down when they return to their countries after losing. I wish that they would go out a little bit more and stop playing it SO safe.
