North Korea...definitely non-cliched!

For some reason, I don't think I'd be able to walk into a pub in blood-red suburban Atlanta (or rural western Illinois, where I'll be visiting family through this weekend) cheering for the North Korean national team and expect to leave with all of my extremities.

Go for the Dutch, then. No one really dislikes them bar the Belgians and there's probably not many of those buggers around either Atlanta or rural Illinois.

Messi had a better season than Ronaldo. Neither are great for their country; Ronaldo hasn't score for Portugal since Euro 2008 and Maradona doesn't use Messi properly. Messi's probably the better player and he's younger but both are superb.

Kingfisher, there isn't a lot of money to spend. Only made a profit last year after selling Ronaldo. Who will it be this year?

So excited for this...I don't care who's playing, I'm going to try and watch every single match. I'll be rooting for the U.S. obviously, Ivory Coast (because of Drogba), and Netherlands (because I like orange).

As for a breakout candidate that will garner a huge transfer fee this summer, look for Mexico's Giovani Dos Santos.

Dos Santos has shown so little in his time at England. Good technically but not up to the pace and strength of the English game. He'll not move for a big fee.

IMO he really hasn't been given a fair shake at Spurs, but I do agree that he isn't quite strong enough to handle the rigors of the EPL. If he has a good World Cup I can see his value going off the charts.

He'd maybe bump it up a couple of million but I can't see him going anywhere for much if any more than Spurs paid. I can see him staying at Galatasary; he had a good spell there and it's about his level.

Or you could play it super-safe and cheer for USA.

Then cheer for New Zealand, first world cup in 28 years and just as bad if not worse odds to win it all than North Korea, the ultimate underdog, and the only thing your relatives could get pissed off about is the fact that we don't let your nuclear powered navy ships in our ports. C'mon everyone - second favourite team = New Zealand (at least until the group stage is over and we go crashing out)!

yeah... the Reds had an off season... hopefully some off-season tranfers and signings will bolster the team. They really belong in the top 4.

I don't think it's been mentioned yet, but Drogba is OUT.... barring a super fast healing from his surgery. He broke his arm in the friendly vs Japan. Ivory Coast is going to have a hell of a time making it out of pool play now with Brazil and Portual.

Drogba practiced today and he's schedules to play their opening match on Tuesday... I guess he's a fast healer

      @DeadMan, I think your approach makes sense. As @dennyjones said, consistency is the key.

      Day 204 (22 Nov 24) - Weekly men’s group round today.  Temps in the upper 40’s, WNW winds 5-15mph - was the old man in the foursome (next youngest is my junior by 10yrs) - held my own against them.  Iron play getting more consistent -seeing predictable ball flights and distances. While the consistency coming around still had sone solid negatives as I had two dbls and one triple. On the plus side - eight pars and one birdie.

      I don't think anyone will really care.   It's your call.  Just be consistent.

      I agree, until we are watching the 18th hole in the dark or waiting for the champion to finish and it's been 5+ hours

      2024 TST Birdie Challenge

      By DeadMan ·

      Question for the group. The course I normally play at has 27 holes - 3 9s that they use to for 18 in the various combinations. Is it okay to declare* if I’m playing front or back when I play 9 on this course? I’m figuring I need to declare before I play a shot. *meaning just say to myself that this is the back 9. Curious what people think. Of course, my only holes left are 13 and 17, so I’m going to declare the back 9 for the rest of the year. Probably only one or two more rounds though.
