That's pretty much spot on... but looks like you may get more than your wish Costa Rica has been killing it!

Good on them!.....Especially as the ref seems to be bit on dodgy side ie .....they should definately had a penalty .......England are gonna be out!....Hooray!

Holy upset by Costa Rica! They came into the tournament as even less than dark horses and now are on the verge of making a clean sweep if they beat England! Things are certainly getting interesting.

France playing well against Switzerland and also giddy about Germany v. Ghana match tomorrow :D

I wonder if the Swiss cry tears of chocolate, because that would be delicious.

You've got one job, Wondolowski...one job!

I think I'll be getting my World Cup wish... Germany v Netherlands perhaps?

Holy cow, Germany!

Holy Cow Indeed!!!
 

It was inevitable for me Germany would be in the finals but 7-1 is just WoW!

My wish....

Germany v Argentina: battle of the strikers maybe?

:redcard:

I GOT MY WISH!!!!!
 

Beers.....check
Pizza on order....check
Buddies bringing more beers....check

GERMANY VS ARGENTINA........PRICELESS SPORTING EVENT

CyberStud, can I come over to watch?!
I want Argentina to win. I like Messi but mostly I just want a non-European champion.

My Catholic grandmother has taken to calling this match The Battle of the Two Popes (Ratzinger - Germany and Bergoglio - Argentina)... which is being held on a Sunday, no less.

And, well... we both want Argentina to win. :cheerleader: :goodluck:

That's hilarious, especially if goes to "penalty kicks" against each other. I'd love to take a few of those myself....

Plenty of room at the Inn! :)
 

COME ON GERMANY !!!!!!

(i'm old enough to remember that dodgy "hand of god" goal from the cheating little git maradona)

goooo broncos!!!! :seeingstars:

you what? ......*lol*
loads her pea shooter .....(uses frozen peas!)

Bugger. :doh:

Congrats, Germany!

Germany 1-Argcheatina 0

Well done Germany!

Time has moved on....
 

World Cup, done. Thanks Germany, see you in 4 years...

On to more exciting news... guess who just got tickets to see Man U and AS Roma in Denver? (probably this chick)

Pretty excited! It's just the Guinness Cup but pretty stoked to see some BPL action on the home turf. :hangloose:

Although just an exhibition game, it will have much more significance than most friendly matches given it is the start of the Van Gaal regime at Manchester United and, after last season's very disappointing performances, the players have a point to prove, in addition to needing to impress Van Gaal.


I travel to Budapest in September to watch my beloved Northern Ireland play Hungary in a qualifying game for the 2016 European Championships. Very much looking forward to it !

I definitely agree with that, listened to a quick interview today with Rooney talking about just that. We shall see, first of the tour is on Thursday with LA Galaxy.

Sounds like a great trip!

Whose watching the World Cup 2015 this month?
Yes, I refuse to attach the modifier "women" to this tournament until they call the other one the "men's World Cup"
I'm so excited!

world cup fever
 

Yep am watching the world cup here.
Does anyone think that france were robbed of a victory last night.
But I suppose at the end of the day if you have the chance against germany you have to make it count.
Still feel sorry for france though, they were all over the germans
They deserved to win.
I am an england supporter.
Some of the games have been really good.
Some on the decisions by the refs have been a bit off to say the least.
Looking forward to australia v japan today and england v canada.
Hope ya enjoying it to

Congress Sends Letter After EPA Ignores NBC Queries About Cancer And Artifical Turf

My favorite butch soccer star, Abby Wambach has been pointing out the sexism and danger of crumbled rubber artificial playing surfaces for years. That the World Cup for Women was played on such a surface in 2015, when this was a known danger-- can be added to FIFA's criminal activities of last years.

US Womens National team shake-up
 

Anyone else following all the action with the US women's soccer team today?
What is definite is that established team members -Heather O'Reilly and Whitney Engender- are not part of the roster for Olympic qualifying.
What is developing is that a new player (Hinkle) included on the team, has been public about her views against homosexuals. For example, on the day same-sex marriage was legalized, she posted that gays are lost, rejeccted and abandoned by Christ.
Thoughts?
