Is anyone else excited about the world cup?

How about Japan! That's been the most exciting game I've watched so far.

I pull for Italy, but USA games are the only ones I go out to watch. The game versus England was fun, seems like my town has some hardcore fans.
 
I am not a fan - I hate soccer, but the World Cup is an exciting event and I´ll watch many games. My favorites are the absolut outsider and I´m happy and jumping if they shoot a goal.
Here in Germany are many places where you can watch the games by public viewing, but I prefer laying on my sofa, some chips in my hands and watch the others running.:D
 
I just wish the games weren't so early here; I'd really like to see New Zealand.
 
I'm not a real fan but i like to watch the world cup.
Because Belgium didnt reach it AGAIN:cry:...I support for the Netherlands,Germany and USA.
 
I'm dreaming Italy-New Zealand 1-1!!!!!!:happy::happy::happy::happy:
Lets hope New Zeland wins agains Paraguay,bye bye Italy:p

I really hope Honduras can get a result against Spain tonight, it is heartbreaking to see under-dogs like North Korea being humiliated it was wrong of Portugal to keep scoring after 4 goals it was the football equivalent of taking sweets from a baby.

Something tells me the North Koreans won't be seeing today's game. The games aren't broadcast in North Korea for 48hrs (presumably for editing purposes i.e. editing out anything that makes Koreans look bad, like... 7 goals).

Someone told me that the small group of "Koreans" in the crowd were actually Chinese actors. Wouldn't surprise me, Stalinist dictatorships aren't known for their travelling fans.

I heard some korean players legged it and left for political asylum, is this true?
If it is, i think it might just be the first time something about football actually catches my attention xDDDDD
 
When I was watching the PRK game, commentators said it was live into the country. If that reached the people, that is another story.

I do think Portugal should have calmed down and held off, they just made it impossible (maybe) for the Ivory Coast to pass on. Next big thing is France. If Mexico and Uruguay have a draw, the French are out. Wild stuff in this cup.

If Portugal lose agains Brazil and Ivory Coast wins agains Korea=Portugal and Ivory Coast have both 4ptn.The country with the most goals is then second in the group.
Thats the reason Portugal did that.

Heheheh..... I hear ya. I'm surprised they even let them out of the country. The "Dear Leader" can get a bit tense and cranky at times.
On a side note.... I hear that the American Team is the most exciting thing in the World of Soccer since Pele.
Watching them is supposed to be like watching REALLY FAST paint dry! :p

I dont think Portugal can win from Brazil at this moment but whey shall see.

Its still possibel for Honduras to get through if its win from Switzerland and Chili can win from Spain.
