Yay! I have really been anticipating the World Cup... and now it's finally here!

Angola, Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana, Togo, Tunisia, Asia, Iran, Japan, Korea Republic, Saudi Arabia, Argentina, Brazil, Ecuador, Paraguay, Australia, Croatia, Czech Republic, England, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Serbia & Montenegro, Spain, Switzerland, Sweden, Ukraine, Costa Rica, Mexico, Trinidad and Tobago, USA...

I have no favorites... all of these teams are playing fairly well, and mostly all of the matches are fun to watch.

Wikipedia has an excellent article on the event with schedules and other nifty information:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2006_FIFA_World_Cup

So, what do you all think? Which team is the best bet at winning the cup? Which flag do you have flying in the wind on your car? Which flag have you painted or drawn on yourself or on paper millions of times?

What do you have to say about FIFA 2006?

Seeing as my mother's side of the family is Italian, I agree with Greyling -

GO ITALY!!!!!!!!

Besides, they'd kill me if I ever cheered for anybody else :)

*feigns sympathy, then slips a big orange Robben jersey over Nikki's head once her guard is down*

*had to expand neckhole to accommodate big foam clog*

*wonders why nothing rhymes with 'orange'*

yup yup squirrel...poor Figo, always a bridesmaid, etc.

Moment du jour for me has to be that Ecuadorian dude whipping out the Spiderman mask as part of his goal celebration...god...he had been playing with it stuffed into his shorts...now that's passion, lol!

lol well Australia *surprise surprise* got beaten by Brazil. 2-zip. and they only scored after we sacrificed defense for more attack so... lol even with Harry Kewell carrying out a hotdog on a string and stick to try and distract Ronaldo.

I loved the ref in the USA Italian game... I thought at one stage both teams would join hands and break into a Willy Wonka-like "Yes, I've got a golden ticket" chorus. Well at least until he started flashing the red ones. I thought it was gonna just be the Goalies kickin it back and forth to each other at one stage.

Yup yup AZN, Korea did really well in collecting a point from France! Koreatown was pretty happy about it, lol, trust me to have been trying to drive through the area on a grocery run EXACTLY nine minutes after people came out of the pubs!

Courage, young squirrel...even without the meat-on-a-stick tactics, Aus did really well against the juggernaut. Viduka was inches from levelling!

Hrm. I kinda think a 'goalie showdown' option would be a cool alternative to penalty kicks!

I am pulling for England. Knowing of course it isn't going to happen. :0) Have to root for team USA just because I'm sitting here in America. I was highly entertained by todays Korea-France matchup. I'm excited to see what the African countries are going to do. But i think it will come down to Brazil with Ronhaldino. I mean come on. They just have to take it.

Ok well Croatia and Australia dook it out in Group F for a place in the next round. Well unless we draw and Brazil tank it and Japan win like 4-0, but who thinks like that? *raises slightly shaky paw* Ah well if we lose, I'm jumping on the Croatian bandwagon. Next time they shoudl take all the Australian born Croatian players, and all the Croatian born Australian players and make a proper team. :D
