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?

I just watched the game.

Italy, in two minutes, scores two goals. All I see are the unhappy and sullen German fans. Some are sobbing while others are in plain shock. Meanwhile, the screaming and jovial Italians are waving their little flags with such joy.

How sad it must be to have your country, the host your idols, lose and get knocked off a prestigious world championship.

Then there is Portugal and France. There is hope that Portugal will win, sending the French packing.

Sunday will be a real kicker with Italy. Viva Italia!

And he was pronounced the top player! I believe he was provoked, but doesn't the fair play count?

I second the (e)motion. Maybe he was polishing his head on the Azure shirt? Or trying to give the Italians (not that they need them!!!!) some pointers on how to dive. Prob. pointing out in mime that if Figo had have hit the header in the last few minutes of the semi they wouldn't be there.

But yeah gr8 advertisement for the kiddies. lol
