Can anyone stop Germany?

Can anyone stop Germany?

Yes, the Allies.

[Ancient Mariner]

Norway will.

Norway will.

Norway didn't qualify. Try again.

The real world cup is in 2015

Norway will.

We didn't? This stuff must be a summer sport then?

I predict a winner.

I predict a winner.

I predict a lot of losers.

I predict a lot of losers.

Indeed, they're generally referred to as "football fans" in my house.

In the US game we call football, my college and home town have shown their enlightenment by having the first player who's other-than-heterosexual.

Have you more worldly folks who follow the other kind of football made similar progress, or do you still just have massive nationalistic riots after big games?

[monchavo]

Football is grotesquely homophobic. There are no "out" players in the Premiere League in the UK.

Yes, and the reason we have massive nationalistic riots is that football, as opposed to whatever it is you guys are up to, is played in more than one country.

Predictions:

- There will be some shock results.
- There will be some dubious officiating.
- The French team will surrender before the tournament even starts.
- The Italian players will roll around on the ground like they're dying if someone so much as looks at them cross-eyed.
- England will not win.

Thank you.

[monchavo]

I take a great deal of pleasure in watching England getting knocked out (the earlier the better) - such is my distaste for this wretched institution. It's even better when they don't qualify!

[Sickbag]

Qatar is going to be awesome!

[Ancient Mariner]

Qatar is going to be awesome!

Yup, pink, well done Engelanders will surely win that one. And Norway will fail to qualify, yet again. And the world keeps on spinning.

- There will be some shock results.

Three matches into the tournament, my prediction comes true. Worst defeat for Spain since 1963.

[Not_Karl]

In the US game we call football -even if it involves little foot and no ball-, my college and home town have shown their enlightenment by having the first player who's other-than-heterosexual.

Have you more worldly folks who REAL, ACTUAL, TRUE football made similar progress, or do you still just have massive nationalistic riots after big games?

Fixed.
I am a proud liverysexual and do not play any official sport in my country.
ANY reason is good for a riot here, and it doesn't have to be a "big match". If there are at least two persons, troubles are likely.

Hope this helps.

- There will be some shock results.

Not only that...

- There will be some dubious officiating.

But that was an easy (actually obvious) one.

It's an Airbus!

It's a Boeing!

It's a Flying Dutchman!

F.A.O.: EVERYBODY

The World Cup starts today.


Thanks for your attention.
