Luka Modric is the fucking man tho... |
Kiran
02.05.10 | the only comfort i get in being a swede during the world cup and euros is that i'm not english. we're ready for the disappointment. they all inexplicably rage when it happens, every time, without fail, penalties to portugal, etc. |

02.05.10 | haha, being a British soccer fan come World Cup time must suck, world class, easily, then you lose, constantly.
Where as I've just had to deal with countless world cups where I just end up cheering on - insert whatever team has been fun to watch - cause I'd be lucky if our dudes made it out of the qualifiers.
not this year tho -- woo! But as far as Europe is concerned I'm pulling for The Netherlands, sorry :P |

02.05.10 | The English soccer team are just overhyped, they're not actually that great |
Kiran
02.05.10 | world class individuals but they hardly ever impress as a unit. most of the hype is from themselves as well. the british media is rallying around capello like he's the game changer and then when they don't win the world cup this summer, he's going to be scapegoated, like sven goran eriksson was. |

02.05.10 | Watching them fail time after time is so entertaining |
Kiran
02.05.10 | and with john terry playing away with the england team wives, its starting already |

02.05.10 | hey Poopular, my FIFA 10 has them listed as a 5 star team, and if there is anything video games have taught me is 1 -- listen 2 -- we're always right 3 -- never eat the small mushroom.
But yeah, big egos makes for big losses. One of the reasons I think the US has been doing so well internationally as of recent years, they play *together* well.
Also Kir, you guys have Zlatan right? Doesn't that basically mean you win Scandinavia as far as football is concerned? haha |
Kiran
02.05.10 | historically, yes. currently, we got embarrassed by the danish scum during world cup qualifying, so we're going through a...quiet spell. as in, we suck. although our u21 team is extremely talented, so our future is looking much better. |

02.05.10 | d'oh! yeah I forgot Sweden got knocked out.
Denmark is in E with Neth's and Cameroon I'm seeing.... So hopefully the Orange Men beat the shit out of them and then Eto scores like 20 goals...in both halves. |
MassiveAttack
02.05.10 | England can go fuck themselves, they rolled over against Ukraine to push us out of the playoff. Bastards. |
LeMartien
02.24.10 | Finland and Sweden being in the same group is a lot more frightening.
...or not. |
Knott-
02.24.10 | itt: many people who know nothing about football. |
