FIFA 2010 Football Tournement - South Africa

[Rolina]

Yeah, I found out about that in an article floating around the web titled:  Why Canada Sucks.  Being an American, I HAD to read it. XD

No offense, Sala.  A lot of the people are cool, you're proof enough of that - but the country itself is kinda... pfft...

theres a whole site dedicated to America

http://www.whyamericasucks.com/

I'm sure there's one for almost every developed country out there...

[Salanewt]

There most likely will be, for pretty much any country on any continent (and claiming land in Antarctica does not count).

I think I am likely to choose either the UK or the US, for the team to root for. Is there a list of all of the countries with teams playing?

Have a nice day.

I hope that England dont win it... praying actually

They won it in 1966 and we have been hearing about it ever 5 mins... its tormenting.

But after there last performance its confirmed they have no chance along with a string of other countries

Oh, they are in it? I don't know which one to pick out of these two... Australia or New Zealand. I might vote for New Zealand.

Have a nice day.

Well, I will offer duo support for both of them then.

That does seem like an accurate breakdown. It barely influences which country I am likely to vote for though.

Have a nice day.

All I know is that here in the USA, if by some freak chance we win, nobody will care.  Hollow victory...

[Charon]

I dunno, with the Canadian Youth Soccer League's new rule about "if you win by >5 points, you lose", I think it's just a karmic kick in the balls.  Soccer pros scoff at them for such a stupid rule.

Edit:  No, I'm not making crap up.  See for yourself:  Canadian Youth Soccer League: Winning by More Than Five Counts as a Loss

Well, that's because Canadian Football makes less sense than American Football.

Hahaha, if the US beat England though, that'd be hilarious.

France(Cheating MFs)

It's France. What is to be expected?

someone needs to stop those damn horns already; they sound like a thousand chainsaws o.o

Win the Cup or get through to the next stages..

If they get one win in the next two games they should get through to the knock-out stages... Slovenia and Algeria, they should make it through to the next round. If they get draws in both games, there out. Same for England. The top two teams get through and Solvenia are already on a win (3 points) so just need a draw really. another win will secure there place. But Solvenia and Algeria are brown so England and US should come back
