 Ha ha ha, lemme rephrase that. Holland, eventhough they have exceptionally talented player every year, seldomly won a big tournament. About Argentina, eventhough they have some great talent there, but it seems that Maradona can't fully utilize them. |

Holland backline not really promising... it'll hard to win WC on modern days without strong backline.
Btw I root for spain, it hard tonot drooling seeing 4 possession monster Xavi, Iniesta, Fabregas and Xabi Alonso playing together ;__;

Ambassadors bet on USA-England World Cup match
Even thought i want root for England in this match, there's a chance the US might beat England. Afterall, the US were once in the final 8 in the 2002 World Cup.

Even in UEFA matches, team wise, if an English team makes it to the finals against the other Europeans, be sure that we support that team as part of the UK. Now against our 'cousins' across the pond, you can be damn sure as a pride of the country of the 'beautiful game' vs 'american football' and all the other UK vs USA wars that we have (right down to our language) This match will be something fierce  Quote:
Sadly, I just found out that half the games (inc this one) will air at 2.30am in Japan.  I cannot watch or follow this torny as faithfully as I'd love to, the quarter/semi and finals will air around midnight or 2.30am as well... (So much for hanging around a pub in Shinjuku with fellow fans and so on) I'm actually homesick for London now as this is my first WC outside of the UK, in a timezone that is completely useless...  *sighs depressingly*

for me the game starts in the middle of the day.. a working day that is... too bad non of my co-workers actually care about football and I am the only girl in the guys group who looks forward to the euro and world cups... maybe I'll call in sick or something... I'm surely going to follow the UK matches, Holland and Britain are in my must-follow list X3 |

Not much hype among most Americans here, but the group I've been hanging out with is highly international as in exchange students and they are biiiiig into it, which is refreshing. Friday's opening match sadly is DURING my graduation. I think I'm sneaking a mini-TV with me. Or recording it and then watching it later, shielding myself from whatever the score could possibly be in order to watch it straight as if it was taking place at that later time.
I've been busting out all the flags I own for the teams I'm supporting... and I don't have an American flag despite being American. XD I think I'mma go buy one tomorrow (luckily they're the easiest to find) |

Hoping Australia can better their performance of the last World Cup and make it to the quarters. I see no reason why we can't make it past the group stage - Germany will be hard but Ghana and Serbia are definitely matches we should get points/wins from.

You're lucky you're in a place that's relatively neutral to either side that's playing at the moment (lucky to be in Japan at all O.O). Just grab a bunch of friends, get them to make flags and banners and camp outside a random pub for the night and you'll probably be able to rally a few people to your cause

Btw, I'm rooting for France too, of course. Even if I don't like Domenech, I hope we will be able to do the same thing as the WC 2006 And tonight we will see the first opening ceremony and tomorrow we will have the second one.

Now that the Hockey is over I figure I'll switch over to this. Unlike everyone else around these parts that I know I find Football fairly interesting if a bit too over dramatic at times. Who to root for though.....I think I'll get on the England bandwagon for a little while and see how that ship sails.
