Frankly, I was surprised there hasn't been one yet until now

...which is set to begin in less than six hours from now with the opening fixture between hosts South Africa and Mexico.

Support your nation, support your favorite player, support your favorite national team, support your favorite linesman, support whatever. Just don't act like little kids and say "Rooney sucks!" or "France can't play real soccer." Try to refrain from "Messi is better than Ronaldo!"-type posts too, for I can't see that ending without people bitching at each other either.

Game feedbacks, individual player discussions, real-time interaction, etc. are welcome. I love those.

...go Park Chu-Young.

The world cup only affects me in one way, and that is because one of my teachers is taking a personal day to watch the first game live.

Brasil won't come far this year. They've had their time.
Ronaldinho and all other ''top'' players are being bad, and Ronaldinho isn't even going to the World Cup.

The Netherlands will most certainly win this time.
Van Persie (Arsenal Top Scorer), Robben (German Footballer of the Year), Sneijder (Inter best Midfielder), Van Der Vaart (Real Madrid) and alot of players more. (Kuyt, Liverpool. Mark van Bommel, Bayern.)

I can go on and on, but the fact stays we are the best.
The beauty of the goals, the teamwork and the never giving up mentaly is great.
2 years ago, van persie, sneijder, robben and van der vaart were still very young, yet excellent already.
We won 4-1 from France and 3-0 from Italy.
Italy, the former world champion and France from 1998.

Now our players have grown alot of expierence and have become so great.
Robben is missing the first, and maybe second match, that's sad, but we have an Easy pool~
(Denark, Japan & Cameroen. Free winz D:)

If Holland won't win, Spain will. And that's what I think XD

Check this, or the youtube movie below~

^ you HAVE to see 2:04 in that one. We made the goal on the Europe Cup in 2008.
Damn, that one was awesome.

IMO, as always, Holland will play breathtaking football in the group stages only to be knocked out in the round of 16 by losing 1-0 to another big team despite creating more chances

Tough luck for M'Phela, that late shot should have hit the net

What an opening goal though.

tbh, I've always hated Brazil team. It just... sucks. They're like "hahahah were gona win go away you 31 temz". Sadly, 99,9% of people who believe on them to win World Cup are like this too... I hope Portugal, North Korea and Ivory Coast pwn them <3


Also their players are sucky


BTW, France x Uruguay now! Go H1ko! :P

Well sorry for typo.
And yes, Denmark will be easy.
All you guys have is Bendtner from Arsenal, while we have Van Persie from Arsenal who is 100x better than he is.
The rest of your players I don't know, only Kenneth Perez, but he probably already left national team.

England won't win, they didn't even qualify last Europe Cup and their team isn't that great.
They have great players, but in team they are no good.
Like Henry and Trezequet from France. Both awesome players, but they can't play together. That's why Trezequet almost played 0 matches for the France National Team.

~

On matches speaking: I found South Africa - Mexico really a good game. Had fun watching that one.
Uruguay - France was/is a real pain in the ass to watch. No fun, no good playing, no fun actions nothing.
Again a draw :(

Lol Gladi, you can't just talk about every pro club player that Holland has and automatically assume they will be the best. It requires much deeper things like tactics and communications etc. Country teams have much worse flow than club teams mainly cause they hardly ever play togheter. While Holland has great potential, so does Spain and Argentina like ana said.

As for Hollands group, looooool yea that's probably some easy wins. Unless Japan pulls out some hax skills and destroy you all.

Typo, teehee. Btw forgot Daniel Agger? Liverpool? Does it ring any bell? Thomas Sørensen? Aston Villa. We have good players, but as said it is true that we don't have as good players as Holland. But Denmark won't be THAT easy.

Sucky Brazilian players: Elano, Grafite, Michel Bastos, Lucio, Gilberto Silva, Doni.
They are on the World Cup. ;P
Also, if you want some more, just say it.
I remember Cafu saying in 2006, when Brazil lost: "sometimes, the best team don't win" or something.

Koreans, I have something to say: never again play football, I wonder what they are crude and clumsy to play, in addition to their poor quality of play. I really do not understand why u are playing a world cup.

Still, watch this video:

OMG, offside in corner line, u see this?
Sry, but i need say this after see this animality gameplay.
Spain give me a little sentence, are bursting with these false things about 4 World Cups.

Returning to the subject of the topic: I hope that this world cup be our, we have exelent players in the selection, beyond Messi and DiMaria, we also have monsters as Verón or Mascherano playing, and I think these two are going to give decision to the next matches.

Although I'm a little afraid of line 3 with Demichelis, Samuel and Heinze, line 3 with Heinze, omg.

There are many countries in good standing, Germany, Brazil and Italy, as always going to be tricky opponents, not forgetting England, Spain or France.

Cristiano ronaldo I'm not worried at all, is a monster playing with the 10 best in the world, when alone, is not only a good player.

With regard to today's game, I was very angry with the draw in Mexico and South Africa, at first the two teams were playing bad, in the second half both lost the nervousness, however, if I have to say who deserved to win, definitely was South Africa, had a game a lot more orderly than Mexico taking lower-level players, Mexico had players like Dos Santos or Rafa. They should define the game and did not.

Are you serious? Lucio has got to be the best center back in Europe this season. Freaking CL was breathtaking.

Dude, that's like eight years ago. That was on our soil, referees are going to be biased to some degree. Expect the same for African nations this tournament.

We play much better football now, the game against Greece should be testament to our status as the best Asian team.

If you get to watch the game, focus on lone striker Park Chu-Young's movement. He plays for AS Monaco, but his off-the-ball movement is world class.

Oh and good luck to Argentina, we need you to beat Nigeria for us to progress.

Knew that a long time ago and ya, it was dirty and I don't mention 2002 because of that, but that is an old Korean team. Only 3 players are from 2002 (and they are not crude and clumsy so don't worry).

And ya, I have to correct DJ KRZY: I don't think African players would have that kind of home advantage.

Calling us "crude and clumsy" does hurt our feelings though and I think there is really no point of argueing 2002 in 2010 thread.

Hi! Another soccer lover right here!

The teams with the highest possibilities to win this cup are Brazil and Argentina IMO.

I see Netherlands as the best team this year. But historically they are always good and never win the cup.
Of the european teams Spain has the highest chances to win. Somehow the winner of the Eurocup goes far and usually get to the finals.
England of Capello is a very strong team. 45~55% chance to win any game with the top teams. So throw the coin.
Italy and Germany have the tradition. They win even if they are not favourites and would be no surprise to see them in semifinals.
France is...I'm brazilian so I'll skip it :(

I'm betting on Brazil and Argentina because of their coaches. If everything goes well one of them wins. Repeating Brazil 94 or Argentina 86.

Soccer is fun because it's unpredictable and unfair sometimes. It would be really nice to have some surprises this year!

LADUMA!

Was a good game, both teams played well, Nigeria have rly good team.

Undoubtedly, the figure of the game was the Nigerian goalkeeper, is rly a monster.

Talking about something else, Messi was left with the desire to make a goal.

Ahhhh I hoped Argentina would score more, this puts South Korea at a disadvantage. Frankly, I don't think we can hold Argentina down to a single goal.

Of course, no problems if we can beat Nigeria, but they seem to be very, very good.

idk, focusing now on England vs. USA.
