This world cup is a total shocker
The Italians just were defeated by South Kore (My personal opinion, the ref handed the game to Korea)
Predictions?
My guess:
Brazil vs Senegal
USA vs South Korea
It would be amazing to see an African-Asian final.
If the US made it to the finals that would be a HUGE step for American Soccer
If the US made it to the finals I think half the world would crap their pants…
And if the US won the world cup… I think half the world would declare war on the US…

Aloha from Hawaii[/quote]These arn’t actually my picks they are my Dads pick but here we go anyway
ENG V BRA --> BRA wins
GER V USA --> USA wins
ESP V KOR --> KOR wins
SEN V TUR --> TUR wins
Now the semis
USA V KOR --> USA wins
BRA V TUR --> BRA wins
Finals
KOR V TUR --> For third --> KOR wins
USA V BRA --> For world cup --> USA wins
Final Standings
- USA
- BRA
- KOR
- TUR
These are just educated guesses somebody is going to win May not be the USA but I hoping for it.
Hrm I like those predictions wheelman…the US has an excellent chance this year…Brazil is having an “off year” for them and Germany is in re-building so there really isnt too much else that could get in their way…
Id just like to say Go US!
good stuff – a lot of my buds from high school (well, old highschool i guess - class of 2002!) are getting together to watch the USA v Germany game live tomorrow morning – anyone else having any get togethers?
What time tommorrow is the game, and on what station?
That would be sweet if USA won the World Cup, i’ve been watching various games here and there (the last South Korea game was pretty interesting)…
Jeff: the game is probably on ESPN or ESPN:2
By the way: this World Cup stuff is confusing, i dont get it…if a team loses it can still advance? Is there some sort of point system?
I think Brazil, Spain, Senegal and Germany (sry but they r playing REALLY good this year) will make it to the semifinals…
Brazil vs. Senegal
Germany vs .Spain
then Senegal and Spain would advance… and then Spain will take the world cup.
2:30 AM EST Brasil Vs England ESPN
7:00 AM EST USA Vs Germany ESPN
How could you say that Germany is playing well…they are playing terrible! This isn’t the Germany that we have seen in previous years
If Fredile holds up and the US Defence holds up expect the US to move on…

There are 32 teams to start out. They qualify to get there. The first round is refered to as the group round becase they are divided into groups of four. Each team plays the others, for three games each. These are point games. Only the top two of each group moves on to the round of 16. From the round of 16 on, it is single elimination. The round of 8 is the quarterfinals.

:Dso very bored, 20 minutes till the game. Just finished watching Brazil/England and after seeing the Brazilians control the ball with a man down and come back from an early goal, i will have to say Brazil will take it.
srry to say, but realistically, Germany over USA
senegal advances over Turkey
south korea’s run stopped by spain.
brazil beats germany in finals

sorry but germany played better than the US today. US put a hell of a fight till the last minute and even though Germany was winning, they never stopped attacking…that’s the Best way to play defense.

Germany may have played better today but overall Germany has not played up to the Standard of German Soccer…Yes the 8-2 victory or whatever was impressive but remember its Saudi Arabia…and then Germany losing to Ireland…wow that was bad…but now Germany gets Spain (Who beat Ireland) or South Korea (Who have referee control) Germany does have the talent to win the whole thing and there isnt very much that could get in their way but it is going to be really tough…if this was the German team of 98 id say they would breeze right through…
Oh well we just have to wait and see

Were you watching the same game as me. For once, US controlled the ball and set up plays rather than just kick/run. Mexico outplayed the US but lost; the US (by some miracle) outplayed germany but lost
I won’t say who will take the World Cup this year in my opinion, cause we arleady saw a lot of surprises (a lot of zebras, like we say here).
By the way, if everybody was saying that we were playing badly since 98, and this year’s is the World Cup of surprises, maybe WE will be a surprise. 
Did you see that free-kick goal against England?? That boy is a genius.
Congratulations for making it to the quarter-finals! If it was a basketball tournment, I would be really glad if Brazil was in the quarter-finals.
