Well, to be honest I think neither the English nor the Dutch will win this world cup. The Dutch do not have a bad team, though it is not mature enough, all youngsters and prone to physical injuries. The English? More a collection of individuals imho lead by a rather weak coach. My guess would be either Germany or the " boys from Brasil" :>) will win this cup. Was it not an Englishman who defined soccer as: two times 11 players battle for two times 45 minutes and in the end, the Germans win. ? -> My friend from Uruguay; bear in mind that Brasil won the world cup lots of times and is not exactly an economic world power. All the best to everybody and forgive me for starting this sub-thread about soccer, that obviously does not have anything to do with edged weapons. On the other hand, a famous Dutch coach once mentioned that " soccer is war" .

I am from the country, presently hosting the world! It is just great, walking through Hamburg is like a trip to all the participating countries, having soccer fans in the streets dresses in the colours of their teams and waving their flags. We have the American team staying here in my city during the championship and many fans wait in front of the hotel, trying to get an autograph. You will find a lot houses decorated with all the flags and definitely, there are big parties in the streets in front of the big screens, where the matches are shown in public.
And sorry friends, but Germany will win the cup! 4 : 2 was a decent start.

With all respect Rather; Costa Rica is a so called soccer dwarf like country and the German defense was quite poor. It is not like the German team beat Argentina is it?
On the other hand, the Dutch team played a friendly test match 1-1 against another soccer dwarf; the socceroos from Australia. Well, the socceroos do have a Dutch coach, so maybe it was a setup? Anyway, enjoy the atmospherem and may the best team win! Btw mate, is not the country quote " hosting the world " end quote the USA? (soon to be China?)
