It's coming... and it's coming QUICK!!! Living in Cape Town I'm right in the thick of things. I'm German - living in SA the last 8 years - so I'm supporting my home country, currently ranked fifth...

You guys have any favourites?

Hi there
ANYBODY except FRANCE -- they shouldn't be going. That match against Rep. of Ireland was a DISGRACE.

England are beginning to look good but for sheer crowd pleasure you can't do better than be drinking beer in a huge crowd of DUTCH supporters all crazily decked out in Orange.

I'm sure the Dutch will be up there in the final rounds.

Perhaps this time one of the African Nations might do a bit better -- there's plenty of good African players in Europe at the moment --Drogba (Chelsea) for one --loads of others.

Cheers
jimbo.

Agreed with both the above. Lot of French handballs recently. Or is it just that we're noticing them more because of Thierry Henry.

Thanks,

Any predictions for England v USA on the 12th? England have some very strong players but lets be honest, in general they're a dummy team. I think the US will take it. Not that it really matters, they must have the easiest group.

Did I forget to mention that slagging off the England team gets a -500 neg rep?
