    World Cup - Football/Soccer/Fitba

    Anyone else following the World Cup?

    I know some of the non-US members must be. But how many watched a fantastic game last night between US and Portugal? On paper, Portugal should have walked it, but Ronaldo is off tempo at the moment so there was an amazing come back from the US team who were denied a win by a goal in the last seconds. Heartbreak for all.

    It was a crazy weekend with shock results for Germany and a last second goals for Argentina and obviously Portugal last night against the US

    Out of the 32 teams in the finals, I think we have regular members from:

    USA – many members obviously, possibly devastated today after being so close to getting through
    England – many, resigned to another disappointing performance
    Australia – several, as good a result as Spain in their group
    Greece – Alex, about as expected?
    Italy – JohnZ and others, surprise loss to Costa Rica
    Netherlands – Rob, team doing better than expected?
    Belgium – Jan, team also doing well
    France – Domi, fine game against Switzerland

    If you haven’t been watching, it has been the best World Cup in recent memory with records being broken all over the place. I watched most of it over the weekend, and the surprise game for me was the South Korea-Algeria game, particularly the second half.

    My "other half" is more of a football/soccer fan than I am. We watched a bit of the USA-Portugal match last night after supper and were staggered by the tie. Been too busy to watch much of the rest, though.

    Actually I'm not fond of soccer too, but I watched the first match versus England with passion (especially seeing how it ended :P ). I think that the World cup is much more than a sport event, so I'm interested in it like the average guy would. I don't really know Italians football players so much, and I don't keep myself updated about the other matches, but I have fun whatching the show on telly

    Regarding the second match (we lose )... we heard it on the radio while re-mounting the stabilizer bar on the Delorean...

    Loooooooooove the World Cup!

    Absolutely hanging every 4 years for this.

    Bitter with Australia not reaching the knock-out stages.

    Soccer isn't my cup of tea, but I'm watching a few match to see what happen to the team.

    Drawing against England?

    Seriously, CR have been my surprise team of the tournament. Well, apart from Spain, but for opposite reasons.

    France are doing well too Domi. Possible final four?
