Well, my country will win the soccer Worldcup this year.

Hint: the fans usually dress in orange

well, my country of residence is going to win the worldcup after a few stirling victories over countries that prefer spelling contests. where are they holding the word cup by the way, my neice likes spelling bees....

other than that i am in my more normal moments a citizen from the great state of Alabama, CSA.... we unfortunatley do not play soccer there much, we prefer shooting stuff or fishin'....

Ernesto Juan, you must be colour blind...... .....the fans of the winning team will be wearing white with a small red, St George's cross

And as to our friends in Belguim, I am envious of the number of quality African artefacts you can find in your country.

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" .

At least, I suppose there are few deaths, the 'war' has rules, the combatants know their 'fight' only lasts 90 mins and half way through you can have a rest and eat 1/2 an orange (the fruit not a Dutch supporter ).

Good luck to the National teams of all the formites.........let battle commence.........

I walk on wooden shoes, in spring I have tulips in the garden and when I drive to my work I see a mill.

USA, Michigan.
That's where real men play real football, not that girl game, with almost 2 hours of running back and forth and then cheering the great victory of 1:0 by group kissing and baring bras.

When we win, it is something like 49:27!

Then we grill hamburgers , drink beer and gain another 5 pounds in weight.

I eat Mamaliga, drink Tuica and, fully tanked I attempt to dance the Hora, all the time hoping "Dracula" won't crash the party
In my adopted country I pray for the Maple Leafs and drink Steam Whistle beer.

Default hi all

Under my arm there is a bread.
In my bag there are red wine and sausage.
On my head there is a beret
In my capital there is EFFEL TOWER.
