The U.S. Men will host five-time World Cup Champion Brazil on August 10 at New Meadowlands Stadium in East Rutherford, NJ.

My thoughts exactly. KB's in the end of his prime, IMO.

Damn, KB sure pade some price.... Props, you're a true warrior, Kobe!

True. FIFA is about to ban 'em from the next WC 'cause no goverment is allowed to mess with its country's football association.

Exactly. BTW, RD I get some 'error' when trying to 'Like': http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f321/sha44/error.jpg

He's trying to put the pressure on Argentina and enter the game as the underdog. Smart move. As much as I hate both teams, I agree -- Argentina's the favorite to me. I hope we see another penalty shootout!

Hmm, the UK always slpits its teams (England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland) for the majority of team sports: soccer, basketball, cricket. They do play united (as GB & Northern Ireland) in Track & Field events though.

Sick stuff, RD! You just need to bring back that cool lil' team bar that used to be in the top of the page -- with the small team logos!

True, true. But I'm pretty sure Ghana's defence will do better than the likes of South Korea, and South Africa agaisnt Uruguay.

We have a situation here... again: Posted in the World Cup section, way off topic, making no sense, in no connection with anything in the entire subforum. N4S then deleted it, but he goes on: What is 'communication' to you? You asked me a question, and I provided a answer. You didn't like the answer and got mad. It seems to me that you: either have no idea exactly what do yo want in general, or you don't know how to put a question. What are you talkin' about? Please, show me at least one single quote displaying 'bullsh*t rastafarian language that songs extremely uneducated'? 'People'? What people? People don't want to know anything, Paul. It's just you - you're the only one who's insulting and personally attacking others when they reply to your questions and you don't like the answer: So, when you're wrong about something, or when you simply don't like my answers and the truth, that automatically makes my answers 'crap'? When did I say 'I rooted for USA this one time'?!! I never said that! FYI, I HAVE BEEN ROOTING FOR USA AND NEW ZEALAND SINCE '98! THAT'S MORE THAN 10 YEARS. And my answers are NOT 'crap'. And they make a lot of sense to everyone but 'N4S'. In fact, you're the one not making any sense for the majority of time. And, get ti right, I'll even put it in bolds for you, I am not trying to convince anyone anything. I think I got it -- N4S thought that: "If Shaliq roots for a team, then this team is, quote 'black'", end quote. FYI, Paul, I was rooting for England too. Is England 'black', as you like to say? And if 'yes', what makes it 'black'? Is it Shaun-Wright Phillips?? Is Frank Lampard 'black', Paul? Is Wayne Rooney 'black'? So you think I favor everyone that's 'black', right? Maybe, according to, I guess should root for Algeria because of their GK: %3A//br.wrs.yahoo.com/_ylt=A0WTf2tYXitMPEEAS1v.6Qt./SIG=14212941h/EXP=1277997016/**http%3A//d.yimg.com/a/p/ap/20100623/capt.e4087c182640473aaf60273fcbcc9baa-e4087c182640473aaf60273fcbcc9baa-0.jpg Truth is, sometimes, you sound ridiculous, Paul. And FYI, I favor singers like Ali Campbell (UB40), Jason Donovan, and Finley Q. Are they 'black'? Then how come I favor them? You were trying to put me into some weird racist format. <_< I have no idea why. And when you failed, when proven wrong you started to insult me, and attack me. You're pathetic, bro. I patiently took the time to provide a response to all of your questions. Irealize it was all in vain, though. For your attacks don't lead to a creative debate. You're just wasting my time. Frankly, I don't care how many banners you've made for OTR - to me, your negative approach is a disgrace to this beautiful sommunity. And I don't care if you like The Roots (which I highly doubt), I don't care if you say 'Sheed is your favorite player, or whetheryou sau you like this girl here, you've shown me that you're just as much racist as Adolf Hitler. A famous singer once said: "Till skin colour is more important than eye color, there would be war." Now, I'm a peaceful person. I don't want any 'wars'. Therefore, I'll go ahead and put you back among my 'ignored users'. It's a shame, I used to like talking to you. You said you 'give up' on me. I hope so. Leave me alone.

When did I say 'I rooted for USA this one time'?!! I never said that! FYI, I HAVE BEEN ROOTING FOR USA AND NEW ZEALAND SINCE '98! THAT'S MORE THAN 10 YEARS. And my answers are NOT 'crap'. And they make a lot of sense to everyone but 'N4S'. In fact, you're the one not making any sense for the majority of time. And, get ti right, I'll even put it in bolds for you, I am not trying to convince anyone anything. BTW, I'm done with you too - among 'ignored users' for life. You got some strange issues, Paul. Good luck with your therapy. You're in my prayers.

Yeah, brah -- you're underestimating Ghana way too much. Gyan will play. And Uruguay will not score more than 2 goals. You can quote me on that one.

I wanna see another penalty shootout!

Spain sucks because their team needs cheats, lies and simulation like the one displayed here: http://i.imgur.com/vWo8i.gif How come Brazil never do this?

What is 'communication' to you? You asked me why do I root for the African teams, I answered. You didn't like the answer and got mad. It seems to me that you: either have no idea exactly what do yo want in general, or you don't know how to put a question. What the hell are you talkin' about??? Can you show me some quotes of my 'bullsh*t rastafarian language that songs extremely uneducated'?

FYI, I am aware. It only comes to confirm the fact most European host nations get a lot of ref help -- like France in 1998.

Thought we're in the FIFA World Cup section. Talk about being waaay off-topic. EDIT: Why did you delete your post, Paul?

FIFA used to have a 'Sudden Death' ('Golden Goal') rule for the Extra Time: that's exactly how Germany beat the Czech Rep. in the Euro '96, for example -- they scored a 'Sudden Death' goal. FIFA eventually changed that tho'.

All five South American teams made the 'Round of 16'. Apart from Chile, all other South American teams won their groups: - Uruguay won Group A; - Argentina won Group B; - Paraguay won Group F; - Brazil won Group G; This Brazilian soccer commentator, said that for the first time ever, South America managed to place more teams in the Quarter-finals than Europe. The most Europe can get is only 3 teams (The Netherlands, Germany and Spain/Portugal) among the Final Eight: http://img541.imageshack.us/img541/1209/bracketk.png That's quite a feat, considering Europe's huge upstart: FIRST ROUND: Europe: 13 teams South America: 5 teams ROUND OF 16: Europe: 6 teams South America: 5 teams 1/4-Finals ('Final Eight'): Europe: 3 teams: http://pt.fifa.com/imgml/flags/s/ned.gif - http://pt.fifa.com/imgml/flags/s/ger.gif + Spain/Portugal South America: 4 teams: http://pt.fifa.com/imgml/flags/s/bra.gif - http://pt.fifa.com/imgml/flags/s/arg.gif - http://pt.fifa.com/imgml/flags/s/par.gif - http://pt.fifa.com/imgml/flags/s/uru.gif South American soccer is on the rise. South America >> Europe. Shaliq smells another all-South American Final.

So what happens if both teams are tied after the Extra Time (Over Time) period??? They play another one, or they just play till 'Sudden Death'?

When the Subs-window is open - you jus' click on the 'C' next to plr's name. Man, Riveros converted his penalty in the shootout and got NO pts for that.. <_< This game needs improvement.

What's the game being a 'push' has to do w/ your winnings?

At least you got startes. I could only play: Shaun-Wright Phillips (1 pt) Huntelaar (1 pt) Gomez (2 pts) I couldn't change my captain before yesterday's games.. <_< I only got Xavi and Mata (ESP), and Perreira (POR) today. Mata and Perreira ain't gon' get a single minite... SO YOU'RE IN THE 1/4-FINALS, BRO! CONGRATS! I hope there's a similar game for the Cup of Nations 5 months from now!!

What a stupid dull #%@$#%#@$¨@%@¨game.. <_< Japan = retards!

Ahh, memories...
