fair enough. I have a drinking game for you. Every time the USA gets the ball and loses possession before making three consecutive passes, take a drink of your beer. You'll be asleep in a pile of vomit by half time.

I'd die of thirst if that where Holland

First game early tomorrow. Go Mexico. My dad is skipping work, lolz.

Mandela is not going to be at the opening... his great grand daughter got killed in a car accident. RIP.
He just can't catch a break huh.

I'm so freaking excited right now. This is the best sporting event on earth and it only comes around once every 4 years. It's going to be amazing, I just really hope USA can make a good run!

For the opening game I guess I'll be rooting for S. Africa.

 

[Casawi]

Alright South African with a win over Mexico 2-1. Uruguay win over France in 1-0. What are you predictions for today's games... I am recording them to watch them tonight after work...exciting Friday evening ...

South Africa v Mexico 1-2 is my prediction

 

[Anubis]

I really don't see SA beating Mexico, they have a very strong team this year. most people don't have France making it out of the group stage. I disagree. i say they tie the opener

 

[GasX]

I am going to predict a 1-1 tie for the opener. Should be a wide open game though. 95,000 screaming fans have a way of upping one's energy level... If South Africa score early, they will win. The crowd will go bonkers and the Mexicans will fold.

Second game: France 1 Uruguay 2

Fulham with 2 goals?

 

[Casawi]

Who is going to be the leading scorer, this is tough... but I think Fulham or Messi can rack up 8 goals in the just group play. I don't think Ronaldo will be a factor on this one.
A surprise could come from Van Persy or whatever his name is, from the Netherlands (By the way this team has potential, watch out...)

[sdifox]

[Casawi]

I better not be checking these posts, I am recording the games for after work ... peace.

 

[sdifox]

There is going to be a lot of people with damages to their hearing if they keep the horns up.

so im watching univision and have no idea what the guy's saying. But, he keeps repeating an interesting phrase which sounds like this:

shabalala - OW!!!

[sdifox]

I don't even know what univision is. Watching CBC coverage. And recording it of course.
