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?)

Hi ErnestoJuan,
it is always dangerous to dismiss the underdog, Australia had to beat Uruguay to get to the finals,they have some talented players (if fit) and they do have a good coach. Look how far some other less favoured teams got in the last world cup. Go the Socceroos.

Erhhh... guys, maybe this forum isn't the best place to start a World Cup discussion.

Titus Pullo · 10th June 2006, 03:52 AM

I'm from the good old US but originally from Thailand. I came here a long time ago.

VANDOO · 10th June 2006, 11:56 PM

IT COULDN'T HAVE BEEN VERY LONG AGO AS YOU ARE VERY YOUNG YET, AS IS THE USA AT AROUND 230 YEARS OLD

AGEING IS INTERESTING AS IN MANY WAYS YOUR BRAIN STILL THINKS YOU ARE YOUNG NO MATTER HOW OLD YOU GET, AS FAR AS I CAN TELL BUT THEN I HAVE ONLY BEEN AROUND 59 YEARS 11 MONTHS. A YOUNG CUTE HIGH SCHOOL OR COLLEGE GIRL STILL LOOKS GOOD TO ME BUT ALL I DO NOW IS LOOK.

I STILL LIKE TO DO THE THINGS I ALWAYS LIKED AND STILL DO THEM BUT SLOWER AND FOR SHORTER PERIODS OF TIME

ITS AMAZEING HOW MUCH THINGS CHANGE IN A LIFETIME MY GRANDPARTENTS WHO I KNEW LIVED UNTIL I WAS 17 AND THEY CAME DOWN TO OKALHOMA IN A HORSE DRAWN WAGON FOR THE LAND RUSH. WHEN I WAS BORN JET AIRCRAFT WERE EXPERIMENTAL AND RARE MILITARY ONLY LOOK AT WHAT WE HAVE FLYING AROUND NOW, EVEN INTO SPACE. YOU YOUNGER ONES HAVE A LOT OF CHANGE TO LOOK FORWARD TO, MAY THEY ALL BE FOR THE BETTER.

BACK TO TOPIC (AGE DOES SEEM TO MAKE YOUR MIND WANDER

) THIS HAS TURNED OUT TO BE A INTERESTING POST AND GIVES A IDEA OF THE WIDE RANGE OF COUNTRYS AND INFORMATION WE HAVE TO DRAW ON AND THE OTHER AGE POST SHOWS THE RANGE OF AGES. IT IS ENCOURAGING TO SEE THAT THERE ARE YOUNG PEOPLE INTERESTED IN COLLECTING AND LEARNING AS WE ALL DID.

Yeap, you are wright. Most of the people in the forums think the same for me.
I just happen to be a Greek who loves the Chinese and Indonesian Archipelago's culture and tradition

Take care

Born and raised in the South Island of Aotearoa, New Zealand. Grandparents hailed from the Scottish Borders, so I guess one could label me a tight fisted Kiwi.
