World Cup

[whitetiger94]

Just a quick note on the soccer world cup coming up, anybody interested in this, if so who do you think will win?

I do not really admire soccer since it is basically one of the world's simplest sports and highly unbearable when it comes to watching it ( thats my opinion, no need to argue wether it is or is not such). However i do believe Italy will prevail once again. Viva la Italia!

Saying soccer is "basically one of the world's simplest sports" is more than an opinion it's presenting your opinion as fact so some people, though not including me, may feel that there IS a need to argue whether it "isn't such"

When people say "Golf is boring" I shrug my shoulders, that's their opinion. When people say "Golf is simple, it's just hitting a little ball with a stick" I wouldn't shrug my shoulders I'd smack them. I'm sure there are soccer fans who feel the same way. Just because you say with all do respect you can't say whatever you want afterwards (classic movie) and just because you say it's my opinion doesn't mean you can attach a silly fact just before you expressed the said opinion. I'm going to pull for the US and Mexico but if I have to cheer for a team across the pond I'll go with Germany or France I suppose, kind of have to see what happens in the 1st and 2nd rounds first.

I don't necessarily agree, but of course it's an opinion. I'd like to help to ease your superstition that stems from this opinion a little, however, by pointing out the striking similarities to the USA unis in oh.... I dunno.... 1950?

Hope that helps turn around those superstitions a little, as in 1950 we did finish 3rd (though without a playoff), and that's our best finish ever.

I hope youre right. But at least they're not the ones from 94....

As an Italian my heart says Italy but I'll be cheering for England. The USA is on my good side too, hope they can put up a performance like the one at the Confederations Cup.

I like the uniforms, they're alright. It's kind of cool that they are made of recycled plastic bottles too.

I wasn't aware the referees in the 1950 World Cup meeting were French! Ohhhh you mean the American Revolution... Sorry my friend, we've won battles since then =)

Uniforms? Police and Military wear uniforms, football players don't!

In football (the type that's played by moving a spherical ball around primarily using one's feet (hence the name) - not to be confused with the other type of (American) football where large men carry a miniature rugby ball around), we generally refer to the clothing as 'Kit' or 'Strip'

Nope the referee was Italian but you keep hanging on to that glory ok because (and lets just look at recent matches not all 7 times England have beat USA)England won 2-1 at Soldier Field in 2005 and 2-0 at Wembley last year.

Of course I do realize that I will be eating huge slices of humble pie on the 12th if there is an upset but I'm not worried lmao

Sir, you are so naive.

how did i know there would be some jack@$$ like you that would argue my opinion when i said there was no need to argue it.
