Ok! So far Germany won, Italy won and Brazil won. I guess that makes a lot of us happy! Althought the Brazilian team was put on a crappy show... I haven't seen that match; my son told me later they played 1-0 against Croatia. Well, doesn't really sound like Brazil, does it? #wink# Well, today (or tonight?) it's Germany against Poland. Gaah, I just can't let the Polish team win.   |

I LOVE SOCCER ( i prefer the term "football"). This is my favorite sport.
The teams which will end up tops of their group will be:
Group A
Germany
Costa Rica
Poland
Ecuador
Group B
England
Paraguay
Trinidad and Tobago
Sweden
Group C
Argentina
Ivory Coast
Serbia-Montenegro
Netherlands
Group D
Mexico
Iran
Angola
Portugal
Group E
Czech Republic
Italy
USA
Ghana
Group F
Brazil
Croatia
Australia
Japan
Group G
France
Switzerland
South Korea
Togo
Group H
Spain
Ukraine
Tunisia
Saudi Arabia
The final: Brazil-Argentina or Spain
I think Brazil will be the winner.
But i hope France will win the World Cup. It's the last chance for Zidane to win another one. I was really disappointed at their first match (Switzerland).

Calling football soccer is very American, I guess. People I've met from other places call it football, and the Australians are making a point to calling it football, although on TV they don't.
As in all other World Cups, Brazil's game strategy will show as the championship progresses. I just hope it will grow enough to win! #wink#
I hear the France x Switzerland game was a disappointment... I hope they do better against Korea on Sunday. I want Switzerland to do well to, for all my former bosses were Swiss and very nice people.

Yep, here it's always been called soccer. I guess to differentiate from the other football.  |

Usually it's called "football" except for the US.

Thanks Nana, it worked, hehee, we beat Equador 3 - 0, I would have never thought that our team would prove that they can play good too. #wink#
Wow, while I'm typing this I see it's 1-1 between Sweden and England. Haven't watched the game so far, I only tuned in to see the current result. #wink#

Yay to Germany!
Maybe the finals will be Germany vs. Brazil... that would be fun! Although I think Brazil is not getting through to the finals. The team is just not playing as they should. #sad#

Aww, don't hang your head yet, Nana. #hug# I think if it ever comes to a match between Germany and Brazil during this worldcup, Germany will lose. I'm not being a pessimist, I'm just realisitic due to their latest games. #wink#
