USA's first game out of the gate will likely be against Brazil, thanks for that setup FIFA.

Anyways, I think the semis will end up like this:

Netherlands vs. France
England vs. Brazil

With the Netherlands taking home the whole thing. I think England takes home 3rd place.

Should be a lot of fun.

I just want the USA to beat the dogshit out of ITALY.

But I do think they will make it out..Czech and USA. I dont really know much after that other than Brazil is virtually unstopable and Ronaldinho is the best player to ever lace up shoes.

I plan on jetting out of class early on Monday and hit my local watering hole to get smashed and scream "OHHHHH LAYYYYYYYY OH LAY OH LAY OH LAY OHHHHHHHHHHH LAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYY OH LAYYYYYYYYYYY LOL

I don't follow soccer well enough to make any worthwhile predictions for every group. I'll say that many people are picking the Ivry Coast team (Côte d'Ivoire) as perhaps the suprise of the tournament and while Brazil seems to me to be a lock for one side of the finals (England is overrated as a team IMO) and I think that an Argentina vs Germany match decides the other half. If Germany makes it, I have a hard time picking against the home team in a final (particularly since Brazil has a hard time in WCs in Europe) but if Argentina is there I'm picking Brazil 10 times out of 10.

My favorite teams are as follows:
USA - This land is our land Donavan, Keller, Beasley,
McBride and my man Clint Dempsey with the sick
handles are going to be fun as hell to watch.

Croatia - Albania's #1 ally
Tudor is a monstah and Dado Prso's energy is going to
be big because this is probably giving it his last hurrah.

Italy - Albania's #2 ally - I just wish they wouldn't grind out
when they're fully capable of beating teams by scoring

England - Always liked them, Owen-Rooney-Beckham that's sick.
Well balanced team with emphasis up front.

Brasil - The sickest fucking squad man. Ronaldo is back.
Ronaldinho is primed to take his place. Roberto Carlos, Kaka,
Dida…so on and so on.

No love for my guy huh?

[Darth Thanatos]

Not interested.

This sport is so fucking racist it's not even funny.

[Comrade]

Not interested.

This sport is so fucking racist it's not even funny.

How is the sport racist?

[Darth Thanatos]

It's racist towards black players. The fans chant derogatory things towards blacks and throw objects(like bananas) at them. There are even fans who throw up Nazi signs, and white players answer back with the sign themselves. Even the coaches(like Spain's) diss the colored players.

Fuck soccer. I'm not interested in a sport that has so much hate involved in it.
