This decision cost his team 4 points :crazy: :dozey:

No Asian teams escaped the group stages... but at least it's better than Oceania or the NF!Quote:

When they're on between 2am-10am, I a bit relieved to have a day off.Quote:

I used to like Netherlands, but have gone off them after the last world cup final.
I don't mind Belgium, but ultimately my support is with South America now (apart from Brazil and now Uruguay)
I would love to see Messi win a World Cup
Colombia look really exciting as do Chile.
So my main support now is
Argentina, Colombia & Chile.
I'm different from the rest of the world.......:angel:Quote:

A question for Pino.....
Whats the reaction been like in Italy after going out?
Here its all a bit too over optimistic in all honestly. We have forever seen coaches sack and teams bashed for months after going out early, but this time we have the reverse. Everyone saying how positive it is for the future. Probably being a bit too supportive. As ultimately we were pretty awful.
I hope Greece do well as there are plenty of mouths to close :p
Perhaps I would have posted the exact same post :cool:Quote:

I'm also with Steve and Storm but my first choice is Brazil - a team that until now I detested from the botom of my heart.
I'll also support Uruguay ( although they don't have any chance without Suarez ) and Costa Rica
I would love to see Neymar win a World Cup. :laugh:Quote:

Difficult times for Italian coaches :p:
Steve, as usually there's a war in Italy at the moment. Everyone is against everyone, players vs players, media vs all, fans vs coach and players, Balotelli vs everyone :crazy: We knew we were in group of death, but everyone expected to qualify to 1/8, so all are very disappointed, and demand a big change. The list of coaches, that could replace Prandelli, is long, but none really has quality to give Italy, the attitude change, we need. Oh wait, there's one coach (Conte) but isn't available :p:
As for the title, would love to see The Netherlands win the Cup, but wouldn't mind Chile or Mexico. Definitely not France, Brazil, Argentina or Uruguay :p:
It's a mystery to me too why the British media is so optimistic... 1 point from a goalless draw when it didn't matter any more. If that's not a major failure then what is?Quote:

Any chance of Altedore playing against Belgium?
I want to vote for Chile.
I hope Germany doesn't win.
I dream Uruguay is humiliated in the next match and we don't see them for another 4 years.
Benny, you're mean.....
Well, I've been a fan of the Netherlands since the Gullit, Van Basten and Rikjaard days (like everyone else). The emergence of Belgium lifting themselves up from being a third tier European team to possibly being the best, I've found really exciting. So it's those two for me.
6 europeans left.
Since Greece and Netherlands who were in the same group of qualifications with us are among these 6 it means we're not that bad. :confused:
Maybe it was just bad luck......
This sounds exciting :p:Quote:

I was about to say the same. :confused:Quote:

Truer wordswere never spoken.

I understand why The English don't like France (historically)and the Italians with their 200 plus years of bondage, but for the most partItalians are hyperactive and out of control paparazzi image conscious assholes,Not Pino he just has to claim the same nationality as the rest of those yahoo's.At least their women are generally up tempo, but so are every other woman ifyou know how to flip theur pancake properly. And what's up with going all Armani andPaco Robann? Only Chaldeans, do that in So Cal. and Vegas :dork:Quote:

Vamos Chile indeed but hoping for some Ney magic too. My wife is happy that she "might" finally get to see Forlan playing as the biter is out :p:
Also I want Colombia to win but I cannot stand those choerographed bollywood dances :s #7 Armero looks like he is more interested in those routines than the actual playing :rolleyes:
Vamos Chile and Colombia too. :)
Vamos todos latinos!
(but Brazil SHOULD go farther :p)
