Ok, no sport bashers are needed here. If you are watching the World Cup, feel free to discuss it here. I'll keep shut for now, in case I am the only one on the forum watching.

Discuss!

Well I've been spending all my time revising for exams so haven't seen any games at all, my only wish is that England doesn't win!

I thought it was funny that Sweden and France ended with a draw 0-0... A neutral country against a bunch of rifle droppers - they both decided to lose a soccer game - just like every war they've been in during the last 100 years. :D

Ouch...

Yeah that wasn't exactly an amazing game. What -was- amazing was the Czechs kicking the USA's ass. I didn't expect that to happen at all, to be honest. Even Brazil didn't play to their full potential against Croatia.. but hopefully it will get better. I'm psyched for BRA:AUS on Sunday... especially after the Aussies explosive performance the other day.

In all seriousness this has been a great tournament so far. Loving it.

So glad when it's world cup time. America still does not care but it does bring out those that do care. I know its useless, but GO TEAM USA!

That's why they can't win a damn game. If it wasn't for Keller, I think they would be ultimately screwed.

It's looks like England are going to win another match :( What a sad day :(

That was an unbelievably intense match. I don't mind England winning a match... I am not a fan of Sweden really. It was a superb match overall though.

USA is out, not that I am surprised, but I will now back Australia for you bro. That and I had a friend from Australia who drank with me in college!

Well get ready to cheer tomorrow. AUS takes on ITA... it's going to be a tough match. I hope AUS plans to go in hard, because they are up for a challenge. Cahill and Aloisi need to drink Bawls or something and repeat themselves from their first game.

Ronaldo! Now the media can shove the 'Ronaldo is fat and shouldn't be playing' up their ass, because he just became the top World Cup scorer, passing the legendary Pele.

Yeah.. sounds like someone who should be benched....

Well, Italy kicked Germanies ass in the last three minutes of the game.

Italy better not win the WC :/

And so it ends. Italy won the world cup, but I guess I am -ok- with it. France had a very skeptical performance.. it seemed doomed from the beginning really.

Penalty shootouts are one of the most foolish ways to win a game. It's too bad the World Cup had to end that way.

Time to find a new avatar..

What little I saw only reminded me the the sport/sportsmanship has been blown out of the game by overpaid prima donna athletes.
As far as I could tell everybody lost.

On another note......less than a month before the NFL camps start! Cheers to American football. Go COLTS!
