FIFA World Cup 2010

But I must say that this is my prefered line up, our coach is a huge Kuyt fan though. I like him, make no mistake, but not as much as I like others, such as Robben.

But where is your hail for me knowing Dahlin and Brolin Ajax had a swedish player as well in the early 90s, Stefan Petterson. He was great along with Bergkamp which is the best player we have had since Cruyff (oh and I don't forget Van Basten here, I do think Bergkamp was a better footballplayer) But alas, you probably hate him, for he was a gunner

Ah, sorry for that . Amazing some people outside Sweden still remember them. Brolin is known as the bouncing meatball in England, fat an slow. He was great in Parma but a real flop in Leeds. I think Leeds still considers him their worst signing ever... Dahlin was better in the box but played ugly with lots of elbows in the faces of the defenders. He never dived for penalties though which earned him some respect.

Yeah, I remember Petterson - red-haired striker originally from Gothenburg. I didn't knew he played with Bergkamp though  Bergkamp, there you have a first class Dutch striker. Funny thing though that he was (is) so scared of flying so he went by car to play Arsenals CL-games on mainland Europe...

I don't hate all the Gunners - Fredrik Ljungberg was amazing in Arsenal and almost as good in our national team. And I primarily love good football which Dennis Bergkamp definately contributed to!

South Africa 1 - 1 Mexico

Absolute screamer from Tshabalala, shame the hosts couldn't hold on to it.

Now its time for France - Uruguay. Come on Uruguay!

[Kenddrick]

Hullo Hullo!
We are the Billy Boys!
Hullo, Hullo!
You'll know us by our noise!

Rangers FC and Scotland till I die!

0-0 half time while France is waaay better, but there's no real system neither of France nor Uruguay. They just hope Ribery would score a goal...

[legolas3333]

This is why so many americans hate soccer, scoreless ties happen often

[TheJord]

That game sucked a lot. No cutting edge from either team meant loads of build up play was flattened by poor attacking finish.

[Kenddrick]

They ouught to have Karim Benzema in the squad!

[Witchkingx5]

Yeah, and Domeneque should have changed in Henry earlier... much earlier!

[legolas3333]

Henri the handballer?!?!?! He was trying to avoid another scandal :p

[Witchkingx5]

Yeah... that was funny indeed, seeing Henry complainng about a handball...

[legolas3333]

Heinzes header was sweet but did you see the defender just stand and watch the play?

 Speaking as an American I like football/soccer, love watching the Premier league and even MLS.  I don't mind ties that much as long as both teams are still trying to win and not just kicking it around waiting for the time to run out. The main thing that bothers me about International soccer is all of the flopping and pretending your dying on the pitch.  I've seen guys fall hold their left knee, look around to see if the ref is going to call anything and switch to holding the right knee in the meantime.  If they are not holding their knee or ankle, they will hold the bottom of their foot, did they step on something?  I enjoy watching the game, the players are the best in the world, the passion of the fans is great, but all of the faking of injuries to get a call is a huge turnoff.  The stereotype here is that sissies play soccer.  

 With that being said I hope the US takes it to England today.

The stereotype here is that sissies play soccer.

Stereotypes exist for a reason.

So, tonight guys, the USA will play against England... I'm not a prophet, but prepare yourself, this will be pretty hard. I guess Engalnd - USA 2-0 or 2-1.
