There's just one thing equally depressing to me as having the Wolves pick #4.... that's watching Australia lose 4-0 to Germany.

I'm going for a drink

You guys played really bad. OK, maybe the Germans were to good but that was a really disappointing match from Australia. Also, that was never a red card. Cahill tried not to hit Schweini.
Good luck in the tournament. Go Aussies!!!

I actually watched a few of the games this weekend. Bummer about your Aussies, that was a brutal game.

GO USA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wooooo... WORLD CUP 2010!!!!!!! GO BULGARIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! Oh, wait... Crap

Funny how a world top 40 and a top 25 european team can be worse than the Wolves


Now, to the WC - I'm definitely rooting for Ivory Coast. I like every African team, just because they are all beasts. If Didier Drogba plays, they will be serious contenders for the first 8 places. From the other teams, I really like England, Ghana, Netherlands and USA. I hope one of those teams wins.

That was pretty funny CW. Howl. I was a little disappointed there wasn't an American plan, but I don't know exactly what that would be.

I've been watching most of these World Cup games (and missing most of the NBA Finals games:() since I work in the evenings and have my mornings and afternoons open.

A few observations after the first round of pool play:

-The Australia/Germany game was brutal. Those Socceroos really took a solid kick to the pouch in that one. But the Germans are crazy good even without Ballack. I rediscover my German ancestry every four years because of those guys.

-North Korea looked surprisingly decent during the 2-1 loss to Brazil, and the stories the ESPN commentators tell about Kim Jong Il are nuts.
+Like he has an invisible communication device that is in the ear of the coach so he can talk to him during games (I'm guessing it doesn't exist at all, but he just wants to take credit for making an important decision in case the team actually pulls out a win).
+Or the story that the North Korean fans in the crowd aren't actually North Koreans, but paid Chinese actors hand-picked by the North Korean government to act like North Koreans.

-I want to change my name to Tshabalala in honor of the South African midfielder.

-Christiano Ronaldo is the Kobe Bryant of soccer.

-Spain is going to be fine, despite the loss to the Swiss.

-Drogba looks like he can be effective with his broken arm, which gives the Ivory Coast some hope in advancing out of the Group of Death and excites the Chelsea fan in me.

-Steven Gerrard cost England the win against the USA, not just Robert Green. Sure, Gerrard scored that goal in the first four minutes, but played like complete rubbish after that. Yeah, I said it CW. Complete Rubbish!

-USA Soccer Rules!!!!

Good stuff C.W. Howl.


Yes, Aussies will regroup for Ghana....or bloody well go home

Howl to CW

Switzerland is dominating

Practice a lot, try really hard, and hope to get lucky in the games?

Thanks for the Howls everyone, appreciate it. I thought that diagram was funny as #()$*!@ as well hahaha!

P.S. YWG - Gerrard is the bestest player ever in the history of soccer. And he's almost as cool/awesome/amazing as Ryan Gomes. Shame on you for talking bad about him.

What if guys like Lebron, Kobe, Adrian Peterson, Chris Johnson, etc played soccer instead of basketball and football. That would be crazy.

That would be awesome. I bet some of those studs would be really, really good.

Great comeback USA!

Wow, we got screwed.

Oh well, congrats on the 3-2 Draw team USA!
