@calin: Did you notice? Almost no vuvuzelas tonight in England-USA. You could ever hear the fans singing :) And man, those English girls were hot, I don't know where they found them because I was not impressed in this area every time I was in London. Copy that. But as Calin says, luckily there's a ...

18 or 20 deg....who cares? The point is it's not the melting 35 that it was in Seoul, Madrid or Mexico. A 'normal' climate takes away the extra advantage that the latin an african countries usually have when it's boiling hot. As for current trends: Denmark lost it's last training match 1-0 to SA. Lo...

In group D I think Ghana is going to qualify on the expense of Serbia. African teams will have ½ of a home advantage. hehee, then you don't know serbia.. i think they're in the top 10 in the world now, i definetly go with them if someone asks me for the surprise of this WC. i'm tempted to bet real ...

European teams rarely won an World Cup outside Europe. Plus, weather in South Africa is really strange these days and teams from the Southern emisphere will have an extra-advantage. I could bet that there will not be more than 1 European team in the semi-finals. I think you're mistaken! It's winter...

Interesting list. I don't agree with them all, though. Group A, I'd expect South Africa to advance. The host almost always does. In group C USA isn't that easy to wrtie off. Not so sure. In group D I think Ghana is going to qualify on the expense of Serbia. African teams will have ½ of a home advant...

Australia - Denmark: 1-0. Denmark hade ONE shot at goal the entire match!

Netherlands - Ghana: 4-1. Nehterlands undefeated in 18 games.

Looks like a slaughter in the opening match of Netherlands-Denmark.

Al-Qaeda threatens to conduct terror against the dutch-danish match because of the past Muhammed-drawings. Or at least that's what the iraqui police says after having interrogated a suspected terrorist... I have a feeling though, that he may also have 'admitted' a series of other terror acts, includ...

@Brocolli: Sure, Jensen is indeed a good player (i would guess he has a SP-rating of 70 or so), but I think (matter of taste?) it is justified he is not a first eleven at Werder Bremen (hehe, remember i live in germany and follow Bundesliga on a daily base)... I hope for you and all great danish pe...

so, what is your guess on the games in E poule? Does denmark stand a chance? Kind of hard to say, actually. The team has just a handfull of players that I would rank 1 to 2 stars (on a 1 to 5 international scale). Ufortunately some of them have minor injuries while others have been benched for a wh...

The previous WC thread was auto-deleted. Here's the remake for everyones perusal if you want to share your hopes and precitions. Or just gloat your nations' win. Or blame the ref for 8 conceded goals. Whatever... Here's an input from Ladbrokes on the odds of the group winners: 11 jun. 15:00 2010 VM ...

I disagree. The suggestion is far too complicated. I'd prefer that 30+ players simply lower their salary demands so it follows max perf. rather than GR, which is grossly overrated when they get older. This would make trading 30+ players a more fair deal while at the same time making it very transpar...

And of course if you are raising this issue partly because you are fed up being outbid by newbees it counts? In that case you have another motive than merely fighting inflation. You would have had more credibility if you mentioned that in your opening post as well. Give me a break! I was going to g...

Thanks for taking the time to compile this list.

It's almost entirely good suggestion (though #7 is irrelevant IMO).

I think this suggestion - while nice - isn't needed.

There are bigger fish to catch.
