Hi

Am not sure if anyone has put this up yet or not, Just Want to see the
CG community’s vote. So please vote here. I wish luck for all the teams
and i fight for England myself.

I was fighting for England, As of July the 2nd i fight for Portugal & Cristiano Ronaldo.

Portugal lost tonight, It’s really sad. Now I stand for Italy, The last chance.

And finally football world champion is:

– -- --ITALY-- – --

---------------------Vote for the Winner--------till post 1194--------------------

-------------------------------Semi Finals Loosers------------------------------
Portugal ---------- 8 Votes ------- Got the 4th place .

England here too! Stephen Gerrard’s my fav player atm.

I’d also love to hear predictions on the finals. My prediction is a Brazil - Argentina final. Gonna be a real thrilling World Cup…can’t wait!

-pete-

#3

im going for Australia DUH! what are they like, 46th rank? They are so gunna whoop some ass

#4

hahaha Amen!

#5

England! (Im English by the way)…

Hehehe! Cant wait! This is going to be great!

#6

Since our stupid team couldn’t make it to the Cup, I’ll take the easy way and say Brazil. :thumbsup:

#7

ill be honest. i have no idea who is going to win, but i just dont want Brazil to win. the world cup is getting stale with brazil winning every tournament.

#8

It seems that way but in fact theyve only won it twice in over 30 years. Same as Germany and Argentina. And if England hadnt rolled over and died last time we would have beaten them…:shrug:

#9

Ppl. actually watch soccer? :wip:

#10

hehe, i tipped Germany - Netherlands as Finals with Germany as Winner of course :slight_smile:
Just cant tip on anyone else than our own team.

And with the home bonus we might have a chance. And for all England fans out there i feel sorry we probably have to end your dreams in the next round. :slight_smile:

Good luck to all.

Abit OT, but are we gonna see CGtalk members suddenly disappearing from the forums en masse throughout this world cup season? Or are we gonna see OT threads about worldcup poping up all over the place? :smiley:

#12

Knowing how ppl are addicted to CGtalk i’m gonna say they’ll be logged on while watching the world cup and giving live up-to-the-minute updates. New threads each time a goal is scored. :scream:

I am sorry to say that this time it will be us Germans again who will, by a mixture of skill, hardheadedness, will power and sheer luck, persevere and make their way into the finals where we will take revenge on Brasil and celebreate our fourth title…

dances madly through the room
tries to calm down

seriously, now, German football went through some exciting changes over the last two years and the new generation of players is just good enough to make it. Strangely, that was all it took Germany to win its titles.

I am really looking forward to all the fans in our cities, and the parties, and I will go and watch some teams’ official trainings and just absorp the beauty of the whole event (and will try to forget the ugly facets of the event like only one third of the tickets going out to the fans while two thirds going to the VIPidiots who will leave endless seats in the stadiums empty cause it rained a little…:banghead: )

so, all in all: great event, and, sorry folks, it’s ze germants who vill vin again…:smiley:

#14

I vote for France to win

I really wanna see some african team to do well, I just love when they score, they go to the corner pole and dance :smiley: Just love it. I want England to become 2nd but not win :shrug:
I just don’t want to see Brazil take it this time, also I have a feeling germany would do well, its their hometown, they sure don’t want to disappoint their people

#15

Brazil all the way.They have football in their blood…

I can’t wait for the WC to start :bounce: :bounce:

#16

This year ENGLANDS gonna win :bounce:

#17

england all the way.
saying that…
does anyone fancy the idea of joining a fantasy world cup game online and having a cgtalk minileague ?

#18

I’m Voting for Australia/ Socceroos Myself, I think we’ve trained hard, and done well to get this far, All the Best Boys !

#19

PORTUGAL is going to win!

We have the best team we ever had, so the final match will be Portugal x Brazil and Portugal will win by 2x1. ;D

Best regards.
