Right so, the World Cup has been going on for THREE days already, and given the sheer magnitude of the event, it blows my mind that no one has made a thread about it! Probably half of our player base is from countries other than the US; and while the US isn't very gung-ho on soccer (football) I seem to recall the rest of the world being nuts about it. So let's recap.
Germany 4 - Costa Rica 2 England 1 - Paraguay 0 Trinadad and Tobago 0 - Sweeden 0 Argentina 2 - Ivory Coast 1 Netherlands 1 - Serbia-Montenegro 0 Ecuador 2 - Poland 0
Right so I think everyone expected Germany to win their first game, but what a high scoring game it was! Wowzer! (Thank you Doc.) Englad beat Paraguay, again I think it was expected but this one seemed to be a little LOW scoring. T&T tied Sweeden?! Sheesh, first the Cav's almost upset the Pistons and now this? Argentina wins over the Ivory Coast. Again, I think this was expected. Netherlands win over Serbia-Montenegro. I expected this only because I didn't know much about S&M, but to be honest I think the Netherlands sort of "stopped" playing hard after the first half. And last, Ecuador beats Poland. Can I say wow? Who expected this? Anyone? Not me!
So yeah, make your predictions on games! Start a poll! Criticize me analysis! One... two... three... go!
