world cup is just around the corner.....cant wait to see it....09.06.06

first game:
Germany vs Costa Rica (18:00 hrs)
Poland vs Ecuador (21:00 hrs)

which team do u guys think will win the cup this year?

Hopefully Germany,or England.

Not a football fan.

But I do hope Argentina pulls off a shocker.

ITALIA SCUDETTO!!!



But I really wanna see this young player from Argentina pulling it off like Maradona, though.

So far, 2 of the games played were like 1-0, and scored early in the match and then no more action already. Sigh.

Only the first game 4-2 Germany vs Costa Rico was interesting.

Tonite, 9pm Australia vs Japan.

Go Aussie go go go....
Aussie Aussie Aussie... Oi oi oi! :D

BRAZIL BRAZIL

:) :) :) :)

Australia...go back ur country,rear kangaroo la :lol:

p/s : jking...

any psychics out there wanna predict the 2 teams in the finals and whats the score?

Did any of you watch the ceremony for drawing the lots for the World Cup fixtures few months ago on Astro Supersport?
There were some opening acts prior to the lot drawing, and there was a stage magic act done by this magician from Netherlands...Haans something....
His last act i remember was doing a torn and restored newspaper in front of Pele.
He took a normal newspaper, tore it...and when he restored it, the newspaper heading was "World Cup..." something.

Aus 3
Jap 1

What a comeback!

S.Korea 2
Togo 1

11 vs 10 men... what else can we expect? Didnt really like to see S Korea playing safe after they scored the second goal. But hey.. its World Cup. U cant afford to loose!

Ok... Jeff my prediction for the Finals are Brazil vs Germany (lol the obvious favs)

Score... hmmm.... 3-1 to Brazil.

Im no mentalist.. but I may consider becoming one if my prediction comes true :P... i doubt it.

agreed with brendan

final : Brazil vs Germany (2-1)

lets the samba begains....

BRazil won Croatia ..
But expected more goals.

Prediction for Final

Paraguay VS Togo

3 - 13 goals

lol .. just kidding :D

I WANT GERMANY TO WIN! Hopefully Brazil will loose this World Cup.

hey there...WC2006...I tip Germany to win...but that if they reach the final. :D Anyway, I always supported Germany since I was in my secondary school because Klinssman is always my idol when I am playing football for my school..hahah! Kids imagination.. until he retired from playing football and until now he coaches Germany...and until they lose and out of WC...hehehe! But I hope, they win this WC2006... and really hope the South Americans are out of the final...that IF, England/Portugal can stop them from reaching the final. IF lah. :D Anyway, Argentina lose to Germany by bad luck...coz it is really Germany's good luck, or else Germany is the loser last night's game. Anyway, both team are really even, but Argentina looked more dangerous than Germany until the germans did a lot of mistake in the backline. If Argentina have not sit back and defend their 1 goal lead earlier, it will be difficult for the Germans already. Unfortunately, they sit back, drop the gear, and the Germans gear up and equalize. Then all is difficult for the Argentina's to rush up for another goal lead...goes to penalty kick and this is what the Germans are really good at.

I hope portugal wins the final :)

Nothin is impossible.... :)

If there is a will, there is a way. Just like magic effects. Now.. how did i come to here... ok back to World Cup!

Go Portugal go go go!

I want them to loose,they are cheaters,and the referee is one sided,thats how England lost the match,England fans and players were full of spirits,but Portugal are just cheaters!

Such typical English fan...

But I did wish for them to win tho, so Italy could stomp all over them on the next round.

FORZA ITALIA!

World Cup winner predictions anyone?

"In this envelope, i have a prediction of the winner of FIFA Worldcup 2006, including final score, the names of the scorers, and the exact minute of each goal.
It has been signed all around by members of the audience and will be kept in a safe to prevent any tempering. It shall be opened and revealed live in front of a live audience on the day after the Finals......."

Now THAT would make great TV.....;)
And i can think of at least 3 methods to achieve that. B)

Hahahah Aloy, it's a wonder someone hasn't done that yet ;)

wow!! Aloy you'll be the world greatest magician if you can predict that lol

Actually Joe Xavier was gonna do that ...

although he provided some vey compelling reasons why he shouldn't do that.
Was discussed a few months back in another mentalism forum (the S.O.M)

FORZA ITALIA!!!!!!!

I SWEAR it was such a joy to see how the Azzuri played. Their previous matches from about 1998 until the pre-World Cup 2006 have been such mess and boring to spectate. But not anymore. I swear Lippi is an amazing coach, a Juve coach. I was surprised to see his mostly attacking tactic (though, I believe he's the most attacking coach in a field of defensive Italian coaches).

A very well deserved win. You guys I'll be back to Malaysia tomorrow morning, and if I'm not mistaken the final match is on Sunday. You guys wanna plan a day out to see the final match?

oh NOOO GERMANY LOST ! :(

I heard David Beckham going to quit as international footballer..is it true?

Any prediction who going to win the world cup ?

GO FRANCE! So sad Germany lost :unsure:

Argh!!! what a heartbreak, both of my fav team (brazil & Germany) fail to make it to the final.... so sad, to be honest i cry when germany lost to italy...so sad. :(

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA that's right. FORZA AZZURI! FORZA AZZURI!

France is just another obstacle to greatness.

I suddenly feel like eating tons of pasta and drinking tankfuls of espresso.

FORZA AZZURI!

Let the French eat their frog's legs. :lol:

I'd like to see Italy win this World Cup!

If Italy wins, I probably like to celebrate with some home cooked Italian food..... im craving for some traditional spaghetti bolognaise and some lamb chops.. yum yum.

If French wins... well... i dunno what to do...

Come on Italy Go Go Go!

Celebrate with french fries?

Or french kiss.....

:ph43r:

Some of us aren't as undeniablygoddamnlucky as you are Aloy. Or may be one of us.

I sound like some desparate mofo.

On topic, whoever wins, I'll still be the same peniless balls busting cards ripping interior design student.

i wanted germany to win! i even got someone to paint a german flag on me at a 4th of july picnic... which isn't a very smart thing to do in america! hahaha... oh well... eventhough italy took away germany's dream of winning the world cup 2006, i want italy to win... just because i don't want france to win... hahaha...

any predictions of the 3rd and 4th place? i think germany will win... and i think they're favorites... but anyone up for predicting the score?

I still can't talk... how astonishing...

It's all good!

haha... yay...

yups.. its gonna be spaghetti meal tonite. I called my mum already... she said... ok....

I'll cook :P

Yummy!....
