Nope.

All 4 years, football takes over for a month. Maybe after the WC. ;)

I'm pretty disappointed on Brasil, I also expected 4-0 or so. Then again, considering the tie between Ivory Coast and Portugal, it was good enough, as beating Ivory Coast on sunday pretty much locks us in for Top 16, and since our first adversary will come out of Group H, Switzerland did us a HUGE favor knocking Spain on their arse.

I know you are still a bit younger, but never deny a man the right to talk about hot dutch women, you hear?! It was outrageous the way they were and are being treated. Brilliant stunt though by the producer of the beer brand, they could not have wished for more attention at such low price. Hire 36 models, put them in your dress (without any sign of advertisement :lol:) and put them in a stadium, haha. The whole campaign costed maybe 50k, but is worldnews so it seems, can't put a price on that.

Thanks Gil! I knew you'd be on my side about that. Where's that breast topic when you need it?

this is the wife of Van der Vaart, one of our players and she is posing in the so hated dress. Fifa even have forbidden online videos of this dress, mhuahaha. Stupid organisation.

Just to summ up, here's how the "best" temas played:

Germany :4-0
Holland: 2-0
Portugal: 0-0
Italy: 1-1
France: 0-0
Brasil: 2-1
Engalnd: 1-1
Spain: 0-1 (lost against us!)

I must say that I'm pretty disappointed. Besides Germany, none of the teams really convinced me....

Don't be. The high-ranking teams always grow during the tournament to be just better and better. The first game of the groupstage is normally a bit "cramped" so I expect most of your listed teams to do better in the next couple of games. But Switzerland beating Spain was totally unexpected. Unfortunately I missed the game - was your star player Frei fit or does he miss the World Cup due to injury just like two years ago?

I'm a bit surprised though over the Bafana Bafana. Sure South Africa has a theoretical chance to advance to the next stage but it's almost nil. If so they would be the first host team ever who doesn't qualify for the last 16.

Well, people are saying South Africa is done. I wouldn't go that far, since they can basically still advance by beating France, unless Mexico beats France, in which case Mexico and Uruguay can draw into the Top 16 and knock out both. Of course, considering what happened so far, Bafana Bafana is NOT likely to beat France, but it's win-or-die, and they ARE the hosts, so... Remember USA in '94? Pretty tough game for us.

If I remember the World Cup in USA -94? Sure, our bronze medal still glimmers  ;D

But I don't remember what happened to the US team I'm afraid. Sure, South Africa still has the chance but it will be a real tough one, especially if they play like yesterday. And their first keeper's red card isn't improving their chances either. Talking of which - it was a slight touch but he was going for the ball. It must be really hard for him. Have you seen his kicks - he hits the ball high up in the air (almost at shoulder height) and they have precision like laser-guided missiles. Never seen anything like it!

Frei? he sucks. We all hate him. He's a bit like Inzaghi for Italy, just worse. Derdyok, Inler, Fernandes, those are the players we support. Young, talented, lots of skill ;)

But we lost Senderos, who played for liverpool until about 2 or 3 weeks ago, now plays for Fulham Really good defender...

The US team faced Brasil before the quarter-finals, and it was a pretty tough match, 1-0 Brasil, close to the end.
