TX Suh-nare Posted June 18, 2006 Posted June 18, 2006 Who else has been glued to ESPN2 watching this? There's some amazing crap going on! It's kinda stupid that the most popular sport in the world is on ESPN2 while ESPN covers the NCAA Baseball World Series and drag racing, but still, this is good stuff! Comment on your thoughts. Quote
supermanuel Posted June 18, 2006 Posted June 18, 2006 actually, i've been watching it on the Spanish networks, they're a lot more fun (i think you understand) especially if you speak The Espanol like i do. i've watched every world cup since I was born (it's a big deal in my family) I like that there's no time limit on editing, I just noticed a mistake I made yesteray(or the day before?) (mispelled speak) WOO! Quote

Clarinot Posted June 19, 2006 Posted June 19, 2006 I was in Rome a few days ago and I could keep up with Italy's score by the number of carhorns I could hear from my hotel room Quote
Lustra.exe Posted June 19, 2006 Posted June 19, 2006 Did they give you a hard time for being an American? Quote
Clarinot Posted June 19, 2006 Posted June 19, 2006 Nah not really..... I had on my Italia jersey Well in the Paris airport, yes, but not Italy. Italians didn't really seem to mind stupid American tourists Quote
Lustra.exe Posted June 19, 2006 Posted June 19, 2006 HAHA, nice. I want to go to europe so bad. Quote
supermanuel Posted June 19, 2006 Posted June 19, 2006 yeah, my sister lives in England, she says you can't go ANYWHERE without there seeing something even remotely related to soccer (but why woulnd't you with David Beckham on your team) Quote
itsstephenyo Posted June 19, 2006 Posted June 19, 2006 i haven't missed a single game thus far. quite an interesting world cup this year. personally, i'd like the US to take it all. realistically, im hoping for the netherlands or italy. i don't like brazil, though you really cannot deny their talent. they're so patient on the ball and have such great skill. i'm just tired of them winning all the time. i think in 2010 it's the US's turn to win the world cup. with players like clint dempsey, eddie johnson, and bobbie convey on the rise, the US is going to be carried on the backs of these young players. heck, clint dempsey pretty much owned the italian defense one v. one in their game, and italy has the best defensive line in the world. four years of maturing from these young players and the US is going to have an excellent world cup in 2010.

G'townPIT Posted June 19, 2006 Posted June 19, 2006 So where is Freddy Adu at? I thought he was the ultimate soccer prodigy or something. Quote

You should be arrested for saying such a thing Quote
Clarinot Posted June 20, 2006 Posted June 20, 2006 Come on!!!! How can't you like soccer???????? Quote
supermanuel Posted June 20, 2006 Posted June 20, 2006 Clarinot said: Come on!!!! How can't you like soccer???????? I KNOW! there's something in it for fast of every sport. baseball- the occasional slide for the ball/opponent's shins football- well, there's a ball, is there not? basketball- there's a ball, isn't there? golf- there's a ball, isn't there? plus, just take a look at the Australian Team, how could you not enjoy watching that out on the field? AND to save space and not reply again, even though I was born in Mexico, I'm rooting for Spain, Brazil or Italy to take this Quote

MartinHorn Posted June 20, 2006 Posted June 20, 2006 I have to admit I'm not much of a soccer fan, but If I had to pick a team to go for it would be Mexico. Quote
TX Suh-nare Posted June 21, 2006 Author Posted June 21, 2006 OK, ustedes viven el los Estados Unidos. ?Por que no se encantanlos? Al contrario, yo iba a aclamar por los irlandes si fueron en la Copa Mundial. (Not bad for a white guy with three years of Spanish from bad teachers) !Vivan los Estados Unidos! Quote
supermanuel Posted June 21, 2006 Posted June 21, 2006 haha, really? you should just quit trying right now. i happen to speak fluent spanish, and you're killing me! make some sense! Quote

supermanuel Posted June 21, 2006 Posted June 21, 2006 it wasn't that it was hard to understand, it was just really akward to read OK, ustedes viven el los Estados Unidos. This sentence makes sense it's fine. ?Por que no se encantanlos? Wow, this question is oddly worded. What are you trying to say? " Quote
TX Suh-nare Posted June 23, 2006 Author Posted June 23, 2006 I'm a white guy in the suburbs! I never hear Spanish outside of Mexicans cussing at Houston Dynamo games! Quote
itsstephenyo Posted June 24, 2006 Posted June 24, 2006 its been three years since i've done spanish and oh, how it shows. i suck now. anyways, with the end of the qualifying round the following teams play each other. germany vs. sweden argentina vs. mexico italy vs. australia switzerland vs. ukraine ecuador vs. england netherlands vs. portugal ghana vs. brazil france vs. spain i think thats the right bracket. here are my picks to advance... germany argentina italy ukraine england netherlands brazil france from there... i choose argentina italy netherlands france (only cuz i don't like brazil) there it goes to netherlands italy netherlands to take it all. now that's what i'd like to happen. if ghana didn't lose michael essien to yellow cards for their game against brazil, i'd pick them over brazil. now that he's gone, they've got no chance. truthfully, as long as brazil doesn't win it, i'll be happy. oh yea and also watch for spain to upset france. quite a possibility. man this world cup has some big teams in it.
