Well, its here at last, starts in just over an hour. Use this thread for predicions celebrations. Declare your team alliegences and such.

I predict a Brazil win, with england argentina Brazil and France in the semis, France and Brazil in the final.

I am supporting england throughout. Hooray!

Just like in the EC, the Netherlands have a good chance of getting far. Though I'll refrain from making any predictions, since I'll look like an ass if they lose everything

SSH · Fri 09/06/2006 14:49:35

Germany will win, and I support Spain, and whoever England are playing

My top 5, well considered, but not in any specific order:

Brazil
Portugal
Czech
Netherlands
Wazzat... must add France here too, we'll se how it goes after the first games! And I hope much success to smaller teams, like Ivory Coast.

Pet Terry · Fri 09/06/2006 14:56:13

Finland wins.

Privateer Puddin' · Fri 09/06/2006 15:10:11

That was eurovision, pete.

I support England.

Also, can we not have anyone bring up the whole football, american handball game thingy? We dropped 'Association', not Football

I'm glad I left Brighton before England meets Sweden. I would totally get beaten up after Sweden's victory.

What's the World Cup?

Privateer Puddin' · Fri 09/06/2006 15:42:55

Unlike the so called World Series, it's a competition with countries from around the world, not just US and Canada

Vel · Fri 09/06/2006 16:00:12

Im all anti-sweden and pro-Balkan!

Saberteeth · Fri 09/06/2006 16:06:04

Why anti-Sweden?

My favorite is England. Nuff said.

Vel · Fri 09/06/2006 16:25:43

Because they beat us in the qualifications... and in the euro cup.. and ni the world cup before that...Â¬Â¬

m0ds · Fri 09/06/2006 16:27:28

Enngerrrrluunnd!

etc.

Anarcho · Fri 09/06/2006 16:33:15

There are countries other than the US? I'm pretty sure the World Cup is a Nascar race.

You should see the excitement for the world cup in the united states.*

* doesn't exist. Hey, at least it's on the tele...

What is it with you Scots, are you really so jealous of England's superiority that you have to make a point of supporting the opposition?

Anyway, having conceded 2 goals to Costa Rica, I'm not so sure about Germany's victory any more...

dasjoe · Fri 09/06/2006 21:24:28

i hope germany gets kicked out soon so the stupid reborn nationalism dies again, i can't stand it.
btw, they're selling everything with footballs or players on it. and it works!
last weird thing i heard of was green (!) toilet paper that smells like grass.

>:(

Nacho · Fri 09/06/2006 21:26:31

Spain is not going to reach 1/8, as usual... I really hate them. Fuck Spain. I think I will support Brasil, and, of the non-favourites, Sweden.

Now I remember after 9 11 there was toilet paper with the face of Osama, for all the Americans to use

I'd like to take the opportunity to apologize for our stupid world cup mascot.
I know, it's the stupidest animal germans created since the crazy frog!
