Default GO GERMANY!! World Cup 2010

So being a first generation German-American in my family, we are following Germany's performance in the World Cup with definite interest. After they destroyed Argentina and their loud-mouthed overrated coach Diego Maradona, I believe now the German team will win their first World Cup since 1990 and 4th overall. Spain is next up for the German team, making I believe their first ever semi-final appearance in WC play. THe Netherlands plays Uruguay in the other semi-final match. Should be interesting!

I don't care if it's the World Cup, Euros, or a meaningless friendly, I always root for Germany to lose. Hopefully Spain or the Netherlands kick their ass.

NETHERLANDS all the way. No connection to the country or the team, but, uh, I kinda want them to win.

YAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYY!!!!! I'm all with ya, David . Spain's gonna be an easy thing after we beat England & Argentina into DA GROUND! The Spanishs played such a lame game against Paraguay last night...phhhh.
But, yes, when I think about it, I like the Netherlands team. They're so funny with the orange shirts and the funny names... Then again, I'm always up for the party whoever wins. In fact I just came home from partying all night and day .

I know! If Paraguay had had ANY offense at all, they could have taken them. I'm torn, though. My heart's rooting for Germany...but Spain means a much bigger party I guess I'll find out who I want to take it all on Wednesday.

I'm for Germany, 'cause if they win, Serbia will officially be the only team who beat them, and that's way too cool

England, 1966. The final was England/Germany and we won. I'm never letting go of that

Tatjana if I could I'd be hurting you right now! That score would have been more painful if it had been the final but Germany could still get knocked out

i'm not scared ! Come on ! I'm just telling the facts. The great English team lost (Did i mention it was 4-1. 4-1. 4-1.?), and Serbia won. Serbia guys. As much as i love my country, they suck. Footballistically speaking, i mean . (okay, then Australia beat us but that's off topic !).


4-1. Done.
