I don't know who'll win but I hope it's Brasil - despite being an. old fan of Argentina.

What's your fav memory from a World Cup?
Last time when little old New Zealand went through their group unbeaten. and effectively put Italy out of the tournament, and the Italians having to resort to cheating to even draw with us.
How should FIFA drum the cheating (diving etc) out of the game?
They can't. The referee is sovereign. :p
Do you think that deciding a match on penalties is fair?
Not massively, but what other option is there? A replay :p
How should a drawn football match be decided if Penalty Shoot Outs are scrapped?
Write the name of the teams on 2 pieces of paper, put them in a hat, whirl them a bit and get a pretty girl to select one and decide the winner. :devil:
Do you enjoy the WC games ended with a draw that require extra time + penalties?
yes, I do - but I enjoy the extra time goals win more than penalties tbh
What is your worst memory from a WC?
A match lost at penalties, naturally.:p
WC USA 1994- quarters of final
ROMĀNIA - Sweden 2-2 (1-1, 0-0), 4-5 and we missed the chance to play the semifinal. What a nightmare......The rule of "golden goal" wasn't in force otherwise ....We had 2-1 in min 101.
What was the best performance of your country at a world cup?
Well that would have to be 1986, the only year my country has ever qualified for the World Cup :p: .
Do you think these questions should be asked in the FIFA World Cup thread in the CC forum?
Not really. This is an interview thread and we ask whatever we like. :devil:
What was the most controversial moment your nation football (soccer) team has been involved in?
Nobody here cares enough about football to have any controversies (unless you count being unable to travel to Brasil for the 1950 Cup which is the only time we qualified) :(
^Your nation has had its share of controversial moments though (I am guilty of having enjoyed all of them immensely :p: )
Who is your favourite player? (current and/or all time)
All time Maradona and Kempes (he was a cutie :p)
Current : Neymar ( love him in musical videos :p )
What outsider do you think will be great at this WC?
As a nation Belgium will be worth watching. If England get past Italy and Uruguay and make it out of their group, they could be a dark horse as well.
Who will be the golden boot winner?
Neymar, Aguero or Benzemaa. I have heard a lot of people saying Messi, but they all fail to realise despite scoring 10 in Qualifying he plays a more midfield role for Argentina and thus generally doesnt score as many as he does for Barca.
Have you ever followed Le Man 24 hours? I am watching Quali now, thus the question. (If Gadjo is next I guess your answer will be no, so make up a long winded answer)
I hope it would be Neymar.
I had great expectations from Falcao but since he'll miss the world cup.......
What player will be the donkey of the world cup?
oops..... I answered the same q.
Matter of fact I was interested in Le Mans race when I was very young cos it. was mentioned in a great movie - Un homme et une femme .
So, what player will be the donkey of the world cup?
Rooney
Do you still find Le Mans interesting?
Yes, very much so.
Are you glad we're no longer discussing the world cup?
I think we are going to have saturation coverage so by the end of the tournament we will be sick of it.
Do you feel that these days Le Mans gets less publicity than F1 - and hence less recogition from the general public?
Unfortunately the answer is yes, it does get less coverage than it deserves, its is still the most important single race in the world of motor sport and should be treated accordingly. Part of the problem is that it is part of a season-long series. As a stand alone event it was a pinnacle of sorts, now it is in some ways just another race.
Was LeMans better in the days when many of the F1 drivers competed?
I guess so, but I have never really followed it a lot mainly due to lack of any tv coverage here..
With Porsche coming I think it will be more interesting than the Audis winning everything...
will we see Porsche or even BMW back in F1 again? (with the new engine regs I had hoped for more engine makers to come in)
I'm the oracle from Book a Rest and I predict YES.:p
Do you think these questions should be asked in the F1 and GT Racing and Le Mans forums? :p
Not really. If we banned Football and Motorsport questions I reckon we would be down to 1 poster.
Does Netherlands 5-1 smashing of Spain mean its the end for Spain?
No. There are teams that did poor games in the groups and then won the cup ( thx god that pino doesn't read this topic ).
Is your personal life affected by the World cup schedule?
When the world cup is on, I have no personal life. :DQuote:

I don't know. There are always a lot of users online but only a few post. Maybe the threads aren't interesting enough. Bur we're lucky with the world cup.
Why do you rarely post on word games?
I have got out of the habbit over recent weeks, due to getting back into some temporary work.
Do you miss me? :p
Yes. :kiss:
Your posts cheer me up.
What is the last thing you purchased?
A new Camera. If you want cheering up I will tell you why.
My old camera was only 2 years old, and I was out and about taking some photos. When I dropped my camera and it was run over. :smash:
Can you believe that.
How many jobs have you had since you left school/college/uni?
I started to work after graduating a uni and had 3 jobs. None of them was/is. exciting. The recent one is the worst but is decent paid (according to our standards, of course).
Is it difficult for you to get a new job?
yes. I have applied to some places but no reply. I have some money in my hand work for a few weeks. After that I just have to hope I can find something permanent.
Have you now or in the past had a hobby?
More in the past than now. I collected stamps and magazines, spent time with crosswords ( hard ones not the usual stuff from newspapers), tried to see the best movies of all times and the work of the famous film directors, was mad about tennis and football and followed such competitions and results, etc. etc.
How many hours of sleep do you need to feel relaxed?
At least 7 hours and probably 8. I tend to go to sleep about midnight normally and am getting up at 7 or 8.
When did you last go to a museum?
Last summer when I was on holiday. We crossed the border to Bulgaria to visit the castle of Maria- queen of Romania and its fabulous botanical garden (you would have liked it) in Balchik. Had seen it before but went just for fun and taking pictures.
What's your fav place in your hometown?(apart from the stadium :p)
In the City centre we have some lovely gardens/parks and the rivers. Thats my favourite place.
Who is the most famous person you have met?
You. But only online. :devil:
Who's the weirdest person you have met?
When Gardening a little old lady was very weird. Her entire Garden was cover in rope and string. It was supposedly to stop birds stealing seeds, but it was everywhere. You could not walk 10 metres without getting tangled up.
Have you ever been to the Opera?
No. Not likely to since there aren't any here.
Do you think Gymnastics and the like are sports?
I think so. The girls in our national team of gymnastics work very hard in difficult conditions and the rewards are almost nule. They work more and harder than football players.
Do you think that chess should be considered sport?
No. Neither do I think gymnastics or synchro swimming should be.. (I grew up watching Olympics and liking it but for years now I have absolutely no time/interest in any of the events)
anything which cannot be measured objectively should not be in a sport competition...8/10 etc
Nadia or Hagi?
I should have left the answer for somebody else wondering who are these. But:
I leave Nadia for Taz as he's addicted to her, Hagi wasn't so great but he's an aromanian ethnic like me, I'd rather pick up the third option of romanian sports: Ilie Nastase. Nasty was my first idol when I was just a kid..
Do you celebrate होली ? :p
