world cup

[Hazard]

If i was to play now bro id be happy to shoot 100..

Unless i lost alot of weight id never get down to 5 again even though i believe you get better with age..

Ive never shot par but come frustratingly close a few times..

I'll tell you it would be a dream to play some of the courses over there bro, Augusta would be the one..

I always wanted to play tpc sawgrass..... pebble beach..... I would BOMB on any of those courses tho LOL.....

My putting is actually really really good. mid game is ok.... driving is horrible LOL. I don't even use my driver because it NEVER goes straight..... not once. I always end up using a wood to drive for the longer holes and a hybrid 3 for the par 4's.

LOL my parents bought me a knicker outfit..... can you imagine a jacked up guy wearing knickers with a vest LOLOLOL

I think American's think it sucks mostly because we have no American players to get behind. and even MLS is very young as far as sports go.

on a bad day Man-u could still run the tables on MLS teams. and since American's in general are fair weather fans. I think its hard for them to cheer for teams they might never ever see.

[dangerous dan]

2days & ten hours till england v usa, will be a treat...and just scanning this thread..ITALY have as much chance as us winning the worls cup because they are pants.

COME ON ENGLAND

[auslifta]

Holland without a doubt have a great chance. their problem is that they have a weak back line,they do have many players with plenty of flair like van persie, robben, sneijder and van der vaart.

Torres? villa is more deadly, have you seen his international record? imo the deadliest finisher in the world at the min

Have you seen this guys missus? Holy fvck she is smaking hot!!!http://www.zimbio.com/pictures/5YK-G...+van+der+Vaart
I just hope England get on top of their group an we (Australia) come second in our group. Then we can play to knock them out. That would be better than wining the cup in my books. Spain, Argentina favourites for mine.with dark horse team to watch Serbia. I hope the cheating italians don't make it out of their group, but looking at that group, its not going to happen.

[auslifta]

Go the Aussies !! I know we have no chance but gotta back my home side and was good to see us beat the netherlands yesterday in a warm up match not sure if they had a full squad but. Im backing a spain v portugal final with portugal to win it with Ronaldo to get the golden boot the guy is a freak !

I think Messi will get Golden boot or that poof torres

All English fans must watch this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DiO6cK4XUuI

Wasnt particulaly impressed with holland today, and the game i just watched between japan and cameroon was dreadful but its the world cup!!

Hopefully tonight will be better, looking forward to seeing italy but watching them in qualifying against ireland i think it could be a defensive game

[Colts18]

That US/Eng game was easily one of the best soccer game Ive ever watched. Lots of action and very entertaining. There were only a few times I wanted to fast forward the game which is about 5 times less than a normal soccer game.

Really? to be honest i found it as a bit of an anti climax, didnt think it ever got going

[paulzane]

Glad it was a draw as the U.K. population will not think that we will win the cup easily as they would have if we had thrashed them!

[collar]

I think the best display of skills so far is the germany australia game, germany took australia to school and showed them how it should be played.

But in general the world cup so far is soooooooooo boring..

[gettingthere]

Now its livening up a bit!! Diego Forlan with display of the tournament so far

[BJJ]

world cup is around the corner and I'm sure a lot of people are counting down the days. Who do u think will take the cup home this year?

I have no idea but I know who is NOT going to win: Italy

[Hoggage_54]

If you're not Dutch, you're not much...

Nothing wrong with that bro...

[Older lifter]

AFL, Australia has been world Champions for ever i think,,,,, but then again we are the only ones playing it,,,,,, good that way, we always win...hahaha

[Flagg]

Now that we're into the second games of the Group stages, and each resu;t is crucial to progress, we're beginning to see some quality football.

Nigeria and S.Korea both had golden opportunities against Argentina and Greece today and they blew it!

When is it not?

hehe very true.

though yes 93.2 million americans, 151 million world wide did watch the 2009 Super bowl that is nearly double the ten super bowls before it. So it is kind of rare..

the 2006 world cup avg 95 million viewers per match through the month long tournment. So by fair the world cup makes the super bowl look like an episode of crips on MTV..

The most popular regular-broadcast sports event and TV program is the English Premier League. It is broadcast to 600 million households in 202 countries and watched by more than 1.2 billion people per week. . .


007 can speak with me.. no NFL game can compete with watching Man-u play. (though I hate they lost Tevez and Ronaldo) . . Just because we as American's suck at the sport, we shouldn't act as if the sport itself sucks.

[Matt]

^^ Agreed...

Manchester utds stadium (old trafford) holds 75,000 but trust me its full every weekend and if it was double the size they'd still fill it...

And your right theres no nfl team that comes even remotely close to Man U for support or viewing figures...

As for the world cup, well imo the second round games have been great to watch, all the teams know they need to win now, there's more urgency to score now.. I was delighted to watch Mexico beat the shit out of France yesterday.. I shall be watching England and the USA play today and hope they both win....

The second matches of the Group Stage have been much much better, mostly because there is a lot at stake!

Good job on Mexico, France dont deserve to progress any further. The apathy shown by the team and ultimately the manager was just pitiful. They should have let the Irish qualify if this was the attitude they were going to show the world.
