Prediction:

1:0, Germany wins.


/Suck it, Italians

Nothing of particular interest to contribute.
Bodog odds (pops)

I hope italy and portugal go down, because they are led by frikkin divers (totti and ronaldo)

Prediction: the trains will run on time.

My prediction?

Pain.

Another World Cup thread going green in the middle of the first half instead of before :-/

This would be a much more interesting discussion if it were Germany v. Poland or Germany v. Israel.

I_Can't_Believe_it's_not_Boutros: Prediction: the trains will run on time.

In Italy? Not likely!
In Germany? Of course!

So the train-test says I should support Germany. I'll try it for a night.

Prediction? Oh my, those stubborn grass staing will never come out!



Oh yeah, and Germany will trounce Italy. Hard.

The Voice of Doom: Another World Cup thread going green in the middle of the first half instead of before :-/

Say what? The game starts in just under 3 hours. That seems about right for a greenlight.

Germany v. Poland

That was a good match. I'm sure it was a tough loss for Poland to take, but Germany outplayed them.

The game will be over by then, for all intents and purposes.

Sidi: That was a good match. I'm sure it was a tough loss for Poland to take, but Germany outplayed them.

I think you're missing the joke underlying my comment.

Deutschland, Deutschland Uber Allllles!

/Just got back from there, and there were many many many happy drunken Germans poncing around in Germany jesrseys.
//I hope they crush the Italians, hard.
///Frings was an idiot for swinging at that Argentine.

Does anyone have today's ESPN feed URL?

IsayIsay

Just thinking back of the last threads when I wasn't yet sponsored again
So I predict a close game and a flood of "why isn't there an official thread yet" posts in some random thread since the thread goes green half an hour after the kick-off.

"On average, our trains are punctual.
On average? If I put my feet in the freezer and my head on the hot kitchen stove, I should be comfortable with the temperature on average "

Deutschland, Deutschland Uber Allllles!

/Just got back from there, and there were many many many happy drunken Germans poncing around in Germany jesrseys.

i always hope that people that go there learn that maybe singing the first line of the first stanza is offensive to germans and stop doing that. maybe not, tho.

I got Germany 2-1. Too bad they lost Frings for the match or I'd say 2-0.

kronicfeld: I think you're missing the joke underlying my comment.

I got the joke, but he's right. That was one of the best matches of the Cup.
And don't fret, we've still got a shot at Germany v. France in the finals.

If it makes any difference, it was Germans singing it. It was also the anthem they played before the matches. The Voice of Doom, did they re-write the words to the anthem at some point?

Unfortunatately, the jokes for that match would be even more stale than the rest of the WWII jokes.

Why are the boulevards in France so wide and lined with trees?

today, only the third stanza is sung (starting with einigkeit und recht und freheit...).
the first and second are tied to the third reich. deutschland, deutschland ueber alles is the start of the first stanza.

Interesting!
Then we may have actually seen some hooligans in the Berlin fan-fest. They were stumbling drunk, and wearing army boots.

that woulda been hooligans, then :o) usually, cops will get involved for that, if they see it.
at least in the area i grew up in.

did you have a good time? did you get to see any of the games in a stadium?

/6500 miles away from it all, and some games are less than 10 miles from my parents house

Bonzo_1116: Why are the boulevards in France so wide and lined with trees?

Case in point.

It was fantastic, and we got to see the Iran/Angola game in Leipzig. I had no idea there were so many Iranians in Germany.

I'm definitely going back, if only to buy a lifetime supply of German mustard. This trip made me aware of how bad US mustard sucks.

/The autobahn rules, but I'm going to have to relearn how to drive slow.

lifetime supply of German mustard.

Try getting good sausages in the middle of Illinois. I want to go over just to kidnap a butcher.

When I get back to the US for a visit, I plan on turning everybody on the the wonders of currywurst.

WHY!? Everytime there's a Lex-Vegas fark party, I'm out of town! Drew! You've got a conspiracy against non Total-farkers!

Is the game on in 1.5 hours? Right now I'm watching The View and don't want to miss any of it.

Prediction: Lots of drunk Europeans with bad breath waving flags.

The only way I will be a happy girl is if there is a Germany v. France final. Portugal is my least favorite team ever. I've been playing for 16 years and they are the worst sportsmen that I have ever seen.

Ya, I hear it's just one big Sausage Fest over there...much like San Fran.

/;-)

Now that Holland is out, i will root for my fellow cold-blooded (if somewhat more militaristic) Northern Europeans. But i will hold my nose doing so.

/Just don't want to see the Azurri Diving Divas or the Portugeuse Thespian Society winning the cup.

lelio
game is not on abc, it's on espn.

Germany FTW!

I want Italy to win, because if France goes to finals, they would be easier to beat.

I have to say, the best ending to this World Cup would be a French victory against Germany with Zidane kicking ass like he did against Brazil. Way to retire, Zizou!

zn0k - I really didn't know that. Interesting.

Even the bums in Germany have perfect white teeth.
All they gotta do is hit the dentists and the workin folk
pay for it.

For some reason my world cup fever has fallen - maybe it's because there are no back to back games anymore.

Would agree with the early general sense of this thread that the Portuguese and Italian swim teams need to LOSE.

I specifically care about this just enough to allow me to post, helpfully letting you know that I do not, in fact, care about this.

GO KOREA

Chicago farkers, where are ye watching the match? Give me some good bars....

Tanks

Box score:

Italy 2 Germany 0

Afterwards the fair weather Germany fans will climb off of the bandwagon and get drunk on the worlds best beer: Peroni.
