World Cup 2010

What? This is a competitive tournament? I thought this was just a series of vuvuzela recitals!

I watched them lose in math class today, quite enjoyed it

One of the Swiss players almost made such a gorgeous goal (which would have been the 2nd; it was near the end of the game)  where he dangled 3 defencemen and then shot it with the outside of his foot...POST.  DAMMIT

It would have been beautiful

^ Ouch, didn't know that.

^ Yeah, they can be beaten with that strategy but, if Spain make it to the elimination stage, they will meet opponents more likely to play a more open game. So we'll see.

OK, having seen the first round of the group stage, I have managed to make a list of four major candidates: Brazil, Spain (downgraded from no.1 for the moment), Germany and Argentina. I don't see Holland, England and Italy as potential winners, but you can never know.

I think you mean Portugal not Argentina.
