World Cup 2006 - It’s almost time!

World Cup 2006The World Cup, the World’s greatest sporting event is less than a week away!

Could I be anymore excited? I think not! :D

There are so many great teams involved, it’s near impossible to pick out a winner, it really could go to any team this time around!
Brazil are surely favourites, and looking as strong as ever, but it’s never that straightforward. It’s football, anything can happen.

I’ve got a little sweepstake going on at home, my mom, dad and I have each chosen a team. We’ve put in £10 each, and the person who’s team goes furthest gets to keep all the money hehe. Dad went with Brazil (grrr), Mom took Germany and I of course went with England. Come on Rooney, don’t let me down! :P

    I cant wait. Gonna be awesome.

    I think that many teams will pull off surprises, including France, who I actually think will win it at the end.

    Was a good game eh James? Jamaica actually played well until they conceded, after that they looked as though they’d accepted defeat.
    Lets hope we can keep that kinda performance going for a few more weeks! :)

    Darko, I totally agree! So many teams have the potential to be a big suprise! Teams like Japan, Korea, Australia, USA, Togo, Serbia…they all look suprisingly strong!
    France certainly have a good chance, but I don’t know why, I get a sneaky suspicion that Argentina will go a long way this time around.

    I’m kitting out my mobile phone with World Cup related stuff, so I made myself a little ringtone: It’s Coming Home Ringtone :lol:
    If you want to use it on your phone, right click, save as… :)

    That stadium looks absolutely bizarre! I’m going to try and see the opening ceremony in… just over an hour, but I’ll be mathemacating and will have to depend on other’s Footie needs (which are greater than mine). I just want to see Pele going out with the trophy.

    One and a half billion people are expected to watch the ceremony :o
    Wtf!?

    I’m gonna get myself a nice cold drink and park myself infront of the tele. See you on…July 10th. :lol:
