How ace. Good job I'm German

No Scotland one sadly

I don't follow football, or any other sport for that matter.

Why should I care whether this or that lot wins a game that I have nothing do with? Do any of the participants support me in my trials? Exactly. Why should I care about their pointless, if well-remunerated, kickabouts?

Autistic? No. Glaswegian, yes, and my upbringing there, having to deal with the close association between football and sectarianism, together with the twice-weekly degrading experience of P.E. at school, turned me off all sport for life.

Nothing to do with Scotland's failure to qualify for donkeys' years.

As an aside, my best year at high school was the one when I was hit in the eye with a raw potato in October. Blood vessels in my eyeball burst and I was blind in that eye for a few days. BUT, I got off P.E. and had to wear shades for the rest of the school year. Black October eh? Thanks John.

oh cheer the f**k up

Anyone up for some WC FF?

ABEs welcomed as well. HL is a broad church.

10 days, 3 hours and 2 minutes...

I don't get football at all but the World Cup is always a wee bit special.

World Cup is great....only time when you can constantly drink beer every single evening in the week without wife/mum/boyfriend/girlfriend complaining.....

in this house, both of us are on the sofa for every minute.
3 games a day. THREE. and none of them interfere with school/work hours, or staff meetings, or anything. KOs at 5pm, 7pm, 8pm, 9pm, 11pm (not every night. mix and match).
I am in seventh heaven already, and when it comes to 0 days, 0 hours and 5 mins to go i will be bouncing up and down on the sofa, annoying mr s and the cats.

Aye lad. Count me in. Might be worth a new thread?

I was more excited about the last one.

England MAY make it past the first round, but that is it. Winners? Brazil, Spain or Argentina?

Nothing would please me more than to see the end of compulsory P.E. 'teaching' in UK schools. Let it be optional. Let the morons play whatever stupid games their so-called 'teacher' chooses for them, and equally humiliating games in the changing room afterwards. Let the smart kids hang about with their physics and maths teachers, learning about computers.

as a so called 'teacher', i might want to differ.

don't care who wins, i hope england do the best the possibly can.

i just want to watch football.

I fear we might be just watching protests & riots.

Especially the POR 7 - 0 NKD group match when six second-half goals were scored in front of you?

Incidentally, NKD always showed their international teams with a 24hr time-lag.

But after their "Heroic" performance against Brazil (and yes they should have won), Kim Jong-il authorised live coverage of POR v. NKD.

Oops!

No NKD international sports team has been shown live on state television since.

Seems you remember it better than I do. It was a fun afternoon despite being in the pouring rain. England v Algeria was like watching paint dry though.

Right, time to dig out my orange beanie.

Don't be naive. some media will cover that as well, in small proportion, of course, it's obvious. but FIFA nor Brazilian gov. want it, so they gonna do whatever they can do prevent, distract this piece of news.
it's gonna be: happy, happy, joy, joy, fussball world cup in Brazil, 3/4 naked bodies, samba and sport.

World Cup, Olympics and all that kind of circuses that tour the planet are just instruments to destroy the economies of the countries that are unfortunate enough to organize them and extinct money of their taxed citizens to push them to specific small groups of people that already have a plenty and usually don't pay taxes....

Oh cheer the f**k up.

Does anybody else know someone, or perhaps is that someone, who in conversation will list all the negatives about Englands chances but then turn them into the reason they think England will actually triumph and win? I know about nine guys who are convinced this is Englands year without a trace of irony. Zero expectation, a squad mixture of untried kids and old bezzers, unsuitable climate and so on they'll admit but then they'll wrap it up with some sort of 'they won't expect it from us, that's why we'll turn them all over'.

I know dick all about football but after a while I end up being convinced myself.

can't wait! problem is my work schedule is interfering with the matches but will try to follow as many as I can
