    FIFA: Germany 2006

    Tomorrow is a big day!

    FIFA 2006 will start tomorrow in Germany. The games will be located in 12 different cities (Berlin, Cologne, Dortmund, Frankfurt, Gelsenkirchen, Hamburg, Hanover, Kaiserslautern, Leipzig, Munich, Nuremberg and Stuttgart). It will be for one month (June 9th to July 9th)

    32 countries will participate are:

    Angola
    Argentina
    Australia
    Brazil
    Costa Rica
    Côte d’Ivoire
    Croatia
    Czech Republic
    Ecuador
    England
    France
    Germany
    Ghana
    Iran
    Italy
    Japan
    Korea Republic
    Mexico
    Netherlands
    Paraguay
    Poland
    Portugal
    Saudi Arabia
    Serbia and Montenegro
    Spain
    Sweden
    Switzerland
    Togo
    Trinidad and Tobago
    Tunisia
    Ukraine
    And finally United States

    Of course, I will be cheering for Iran. If they loose, I will be cheering for any other third world country since they are usually better at soccer than anyone (my opinion).

    Any soccer fans, or any lucky person going to Germany to watch the games?

    I doubt this year's Korean team will be able to get up to 4th place again.

    I can't wait till tomorrow!!! I will be planted at a local pub watching Germany vs Costa Rica bright and early! In a couple of weeks I will be in Germany watching either a 2nd round match or a quarter final game (depending on the match ups). I am pulling for the US (but their chances of exiting the group play is gonna be a stretch) and Japan (another tough bracket with the Aussie's, Kewell is back!, and of course Brazil). In Germany, I'll be surrounded by Brazians (my sister-in-law's family) so I am sure the Samba fever will be infectious and i'll be on board with them. CAN'T WAIT!!!
    Currently watching: One Piece, Black Lagoon, Bleach, Death Note, Suzumiya Haruhi,
    The 12 Kingdoms, and Soukou no Strain (kinda)

    That doesn't make sense. The team that scores the most goals is the better team.

    I want Sweden to win of course but we will probably only make it to the quarter finals. A friend of mine who is a huge soccer fan and also knows very much said that he thinks Argentina will take it home this year so i'm going with them for the gold.

    Finally a World Cup Thread!!
    Damn you Frogking you Lucky Bastard! I hope you have a great time though and you probably will.
    Personally i am rooting for Italy being a big Italian soccer fan. I think alot of nations have assembled good teams this year that have the potential to go all the way. A lot of people think its going to be all about Brazil but i would definitely disagree with them. Sweden has good chances of getting quite far, what, with Larsson and Imbrahimovic. Although it was sad that the Dutch didnt even qualify last year, i think they will do quite well this year as well. The German team isnt looking all that strong apart from well maybe Ballack but home support can make all the difference!

    Some people here at saying that we, Mexico, actually have a chance of winning this year.

    I, of course, laugh loudly at the idea. Please! If we get to quarters that's too much.

    Anyway, I bed some kind of freaky time-and-matter alteration Japan will be champion, and then they'll make 4673 anime series about it.

    Otherwise, my money's on Brazil, they're usually the best team and while normally France would give them a run for their money I heard that one of their best players broke a leg yesterday or something.

    Germany itself is a pretty good team, same goes for England, Italy and Holland... I wouldn't mind any of those teams to win, maybe because of the extremely stupid and shallow reason of the players being pretty good-looking.

    I won't be watching the games at any rate, so, eh, I'll just come to yell if Mexico happens to win any matches.

    You wrote that third world countries are usually better(in your opinion). If you would have left "in your opinion" out of it it would have made sense. The strength of a team isn't a personal preference, that was what i meant by it not making any sense. Now i am not a big soccer enthusiast but from what i know there are just as many first world countries in the top as there are 3rd world countries.


    @WD: Italians looking good? Blasphemy!! All soccer players are homos! Real men play more manly sports.

    On a more serious note, i would be suprised if Germany got far, one of their key players injured himself a short while ago and they had at least 4 more players who were uncertain if they could play.

    Holland kicked our asses in the last European championship so i hope they get kicked out early, we had a good game against Italy that same year so i think it's a bit more open this year. But Brazil and Argentina will probably duke it out for the Gold, and Argentina will come out on top after a late goal in the second half, that's my bet. Would love to see Sweden repeat 1994 and take a bronze.

    Its Hard to say who is going to win (anyone bet for greece 2 years ago?). Germany plays at home, that alone is a plus (ask korea if its not) so they are going to get far, like brasil.

    Then we have another few teams that have the potential to win and playing in europe will help teams like france, italy, holland, england etc to play "at home". So im betting lots of europe teams at quarters plus brazil and maybe argentina (a team with LOTS of potential but sometimes they play like shit, like at the last world cup). Czech rep is another team to watch, not favourite but has great players, maybe we can see them at semifinals.

    Here we are always talking about winning or going to the finals but we always fall at quarters, people think that having one of the worlds best leagues makes you automatically a favourite.

    Lets see what happens in this first games. To win or lose the first match is half of the competition.

    Yeah, I got this weird feeling that Argentina is gonna win it (3 years ago I was in Taiwan for the Fifa cup and I won an Argentina Fifa bear...it was at some sorta carnival...I digress)


    LaZie made this...a long time ago.
