English are patriots by nature! They want to chose a different country but they cant! Their hand just doesnt obey them!

You are all ruining the results. Of course we all vote with a sort of patriotism but this poll is the worst prediction since Nostradamus! U ARE ALL UNDERESTIMATING SENEGAL!!

But aren't all riding schools filled with irritating 13-year old giggle-girls?<span id='postcolor'> You are so damm right about that!!!! And I woulf freak if I would have to ride in a circle, with those gay pants and a stupid helmet next to 13 year old girls (that never gonna get a boayfriend). No, what we (my brothers and me) did several times was actually great fun. We rented horses in Poland near the Masures, which is the green spot of the country with thounsands of lakes. And instead of a silly guide we bought a little GPS-thing and created our own routes. In the evening we knocked on farm houses and offered little money for Bed-Breakfast. That was realy cool. The country is realy pretty much like unpopulated and therefore you can make trips without seeing a village for a day!! REAL COWBOY style (but never ever think to go riding in Jeans, you gonna loose your best male-equipment)

We are approaching the end of the worldcup. Who would have ever thought that Italy, Argentine, France, Portugal and and and.. would drop out and Senegal and USA would survive? I wouldnt have!

I do hope so too! If England wins against Brasil then we gonna face them for the finals. Hey and since we are not in Wembley it is gonna be Germany that will win! (no silly Wembley goal, which btw that noone has ever seen and hasnt been proved till today)

Yeah, I guess so! Didnt see it! SO I guess my thread is made to be locked Anyway!!! Soccer goes on!

If you insist that another team which is not on the list will win, please state so! For the ones that dont know much about soccer: especially Argentina and Kamerun are the new silent favourites! (No, Maradona is not back! And here one comment from my side: David Beckham sucks!!

OMG we'd kill everyone. but its not going to happen<span id='postcolor'> No, because they would never play a sport where they wouldnt earn 300000000000000000000004003000000000 dollars for a match of 45 minutes! And just imagine all those sponsors. On the german jersey there is a Mercedes star but what would then be on the american shirt? McDOnalds or CocaCola? Yahoo? Walt Disney? Microsoft (lol)? Or would you rather prefer Hustler or Loney Toons?

Well sorry, but England, Germany, Spain and USA are indeed underdogs. England is considered as a good team, but... it was already too often considered as a good team and rarely kept up with expectations. Germany is 100% underdog since we have lost against the most ridiculous nations during the last years. It is actually to shameful to list them up here. Spain is famous for its "bad" worldcup performance if compared to its national league and the performance in UEFA CUP and CHAMPIONS LEAGUE. Well, and USA is a real real new-comer too. (did nobody notice so far that I made some mistakes in the poll. Brasil has of course already four titles, but I thought they had one before 1946 (I was wrong though) so I should have put a 4. Tomorrow we have a the new poll, cause then only 10 teams will be left!

As you know the old Worldcup thread will be closed tomorrow, and a new poll will be created (I am serious eh), so all of us have a new chance to vote for a team. But this time only the teams of the finals are left as options. Now I need some contribution, how should I build the new thread tomorrow. So far I think I will create a poll with A. Denmark Senegal B. Spain Paraguay C. Brasil Turkey D. South Corea, USA (not xet decided) Portugal, E. Germany Ireland F. Sweden England G. Mexico Italy H. Japan, Russia Belgium Now that makes 16 teams!! What to do if you can only vote for 10? Shall I kick out 6, such as Mexico, Japan, Corea, Paraguay, ... (Damm, 2 more, maybe) ..Ireland and Italy/Turkey/Belgium or so... Realy I dont know, tell me what to do! Or would like something toatally different?

(thank you for this contribution Avon) Ladies and gentlemen! Do to the ever increasing amount of interest in the revival of the "mullet" or the "vokuhila" as we call it. I have decided to create a thread for all of us to gain some creative impulses and maybe find the one or the other haircut we want to try out next time. Please post one at a time, and only high-quality mullets cause people in this forum are pretty demanding and always up to Paris standards

predictions for tomorrow England - Denmark 1-2 Gemany -Paraguay 3-0

Now you know why they earn millions, look they risk the future of their genes! But that is not all! Get the best funniest Mpegs! what a stupid Ref

Oh, I hope all English fans would do that! I would actually start to like this island then! (just kiddin, take it as it is: silly worldcup humor)

Such as small country, what the hell do those danes get for lunch?

I would rather say that Murphy`s law rules the worldcup. In other words: all your predictions will ALWAYS be wrong. NEXT TIME I PUT MY BILLIONS ON SAUDI ARABIA!!!

Conclusion: I wait with a new thread untill 10 teams are left, whether some are still in the 1/8 finals or already in the 1/4!

No I cant, but then we need to wait till ... let me look it up.

Advocatexx, that is more a sun-roof than a haircut! No, just kiddin, keep on having a "style" cause most people dont!

I feel like I need to contribute something to this thread! It appears to be a group-meeting thread. But I dont know what to say right now. SO I just post some emoticons and hope you all still like me! (wobble was fun)

I think Fallenpaladin should be banned for posting his silly german opinion on everything   The problem is that I cant post anywhere cause I usually have exactly the same things to say and he usually is faster(except of course that I am much smarter, better looking ,.....)  Who do you think should get banned next??
