But Zidane is Algerian ... I hated France a bit after WC 98, i hated France more than anything after Euro 2000... And the hate has been progressively growing.

Go Mexico!!! !@#$ you domenech!

It's not losing value, it's just transfered to the government who will transfer it to crappy programs that don't get anyone anywhere.

He's a news bot. It's automated dude.

Right... luck? How many goals did Italy allow the entire tournament? How many did they score? Are you implying beating the home favorite in extra time by 2 goals is luck? Are you going to mention Australia, of course you would but you would obviously forget that there was a red card given that was undeserved. Any given day Argentina could score as they wish but once they face a strong defense, they will be shut down. Just ask Barcelona against Inter. Not only that, Nigeria and Korea could have easily scored more goals against Argentina. Their back line looked weak and now they lost Samuel. Get a clue dipshit.

I repeat, Argentina's defense, midfield look weak. They won't be able to score like that against the big clubs.

I could care less about Mexico. A France defeat is music to my ears. Right now, GO SOUTH KOREA!!!

!@#$ France.

Remember. Spain never scored on us. They won't win. No amount of video will teach them to play defense. They are too stubborn.

Just watched Spain vs Switzerland. Typical fancy soccer and terrible finishing. Props to the Swiss. Not even 5 minutes of stoppage time could stop them.

I would have liked to see them beat Brazil. Although I think for every goal they score, they are allowed to eat a full plate of food

Spain are known for choking in the WC. I picked a draw in my pool. I figured they'd at least score a goal. These are teams that rely too much on their attack and know **** about defense. How well do explosive teams in the NFL do compared to defensive historically.

Argentina won't win. Their coach is their Achilles heal. Re-watch Argentina Nigeria. Nigeria had all the space in the world to move the ball against Argentina. They have no defensive midfield. They are too attack minded and will lose to a team that knows how to defend and counter. Trust me.

So far the usual suspects are 2-0-1. (Germany, Brazil, Italy) The favourites are 1-1-1 (Argentina, Spain, England)

Amazing! Forza Italia

The whole world has adopted catenaccio

Spain moves the ball so well. Clearly the class of the tournament. Will they win their first ever? I doubt it...

I think the next game at 10 EST will be interest. Spain vs Switzerland. I would like to see how well Spain play. I think they will destroy Switzerland to be honest but you never know. Seems all the favourites are coming out flat.

Watching Fox news while waiting for Seinfeld to start. As they were showing anti Arizona protests, one of the people interviewed said, "the poor undocumented immigrants are afraid to come outside because of this law" Isn't that effectively the purpose of the law to get rid undocumented immigrants?

Good to see that you're following I think the US could advance from their group. I think this is England's World Cup. I hope we reach the semi's.

Gee what a surprise that they would bash an Italian coach http://g.ca.sports.yahoo.com/soccer/world-...p-notebook.html

There are two Ronaldo's. Cristiano Ronaldo who plays for Portugal and is considered one of the best in the world and Ronaldo Luís Nazário de Lima who retired from Brazil International Football in 2006 I believe and was one of the best in the world.

Give Ronaldo space and you're dead. That shot was sick. I still can't guess who will pass that group. Brazil will for sure but Ivory Coast and Portugal played well. Portugal's coach is an idiot though.

TBH i don't know why gattuso is there. He seriously had a terrible season. He was great in his youth but I think his age has caught up to him. I don't think you'll see him unless De Rossi gets injured (please no )

He is the best defender in the world by far. Always has been. When he challenges play, he does it so perfectly. There is so much confidence that he won't even come close to causing a foul. Better than Cannavaro. By far, Cannavaro, Maldini, Nesta and Zambrotta was the best defensive line ever. Too bad Nesta's injury woes slowed down his career. I say this without bias.
