• Us makes Semi Finals… Who the HELL can see that coming?


  • My Lord this is indeed intresting! I can’t believe USA won! I guess this proves we’re the better nation once and for all (heh-heh). They play Germany next, and I think they have a good shot at winning.

    USA vs. Sengal in the Finals! (I think it’ll be the first time either CONTINENT has won a World Cup) :D


  • “I though I heard that football(soccer) in the USA is played by 17 million kids now. that was compared to 5.5 million kids playing baseball. Is dat rite?”

    Where did you get those stats from? How does Basketball rank?


  • Wouldnt surprize me. My town has about 1000 pre-High School Soccer players, and only about 500 pre-High School Baseball players. Also, its Town vs Town for Soccer, Baseball we play against ourselves.


  • That’s what I’m thinking. My school also sponsors a soccer program and I though there would be way more than 17 million players. Also, soccer is much better in baseball IMO because there’s really no size limit onto how you play (though I prefer confined spaces myself.


  • in Canada more people are beginning soccer than lacing up (hockey skates). It’s a cheaper sport, and it gets you outdoors, and you don’t have to play at 2 in the morning.

    Well, we will see….
    my finals: Germany loses to Senegal 0:1

    And if you were a non-archtypical american, you could have known by my post that neither a north american or african team ever even made to the finals big grin

    Ve vill see, who is betterrr in soccerrrr… Zee Gerrrmans vill vin ! :D


  • USA made it to the quarter-finals now vs. Germany, NOT the semifinals… and they won’t win. And Brazil has to play england in the quarter’s. Spain has to play either italy or south korea, and senegal has to play against either japan or Turkey in the Quarter-FInals.

    What I am saying is this… top three are gonna be as follows:

    1. Brazil/England
    2. Spain
    3. Germany
      [[4) Senegal]]

  • My God, S. Korea just made history and beat Italy!!

    With the way things are going (ie USA defeating Mexico, Senegal taking on all comers), we might just as well add Asia to the list of CONTINENTS that haven’t won World Cups. If they could beat Italy, then S Korea has a great chance of going toe to toe against Spain.


  • Spain Vs S. Korea
    Turkey Vs Senagal

    i Can’t wait for saterday


  • If the referees go on like this, then Korea can’t lose a single match.
    That was laughable !
    And: how can you put a referee on a mtach, when he comes from a country that has been shot out by one of the two teams???


  • did you watch the womans gold medel hockey game during the olimpics?


  • @mini_phreek:

    did you watch the womans gold medel hockey game during the olimpics?

    my goodness miniphreak. that was amazing. i don’t think that the Italians can complain as loudly as the Canadians would deserve to had they actually LOST that match . . . .
    my Italian friends were fit to be tied tonight. it was almost amusing watching them. in fact, some of them were downright hilarious. Poor Italians . . . .


  • Tied?! Italy SHOULD have won by golly! They had an offside goal… WHICH WASN’T OFFSIDE! Ald that yellow-Red card wasn’t even a card, it was a penalty!

    It was just a dumb referee!


  • USA beat mexico??? holy crap! when i found that out! We lost to poland, and IMO the likely victor will be Brasil! They won in 94, they have 4 'cupsand here’s a 5th one. they are the NY yankees of Futbol!


  • South Korea has home pitch advantage


  • Well… we lost to Poland mainly because there wasn’t as much drive to win the game (seeing as we already qualified for the next round).


  • Well, thinking that you are qualified, when all that’s needed to go out is a goal by Portugal (even though they really played crap for most of the tournament, they showed what they could have done when they were left with nine players), is quite optimistic g….

    Did you notice, that for south korean wins, the mean number of opposing plaers left on the pitch is …
    … 10 …


  • I guess so. But I Portugal never really had a shot in Korea’s home court, at least not any more so than Poland.


  • Japan didnt make it… that sucks cause I love that place. Korea man, they haven’t beaten Italy since '66 so hey kudos to them, I still got this feelin Brazil is gonna whoop since they are a god team of the sport…
