Oh and here's a picture of the field at Manaus, which is 3 days away from hosting England-Italy.

I would have reverse-jinxed them, but Klinsmann beat me to it.

Just did my World Cup fantasy draft, so yes....I am ready.
 
If you want a fun, quick educational 101 on the World Cup....go watch the "Men In Blazers" World Cup preview.  Brilliant stuff.

At first I was really pumped about that USMNT thing on ESPN, but then I realized it's more-or-less a giant World Cup advertisement.
 
I'll check out your suggestion, gee.

The flag is backwards.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
(Here I'll save you time:  "There's a flag?")

These two events happend on the same day 4 yrs ago. June 23 2010. Pretty cool day if you were a US soccer fan and TCU fan. It's was my birthday too and I admit I was hammerd having one of the greatest sports days ever.

You forgot: "the one I do see isn't backwards"

Edit: my internets failed me and berryfrog won.

 

[geefrogs]

pretty great opening match with talent on both sides.

Is she a part of Group DD?

Edit: just saw Riggs beat me to it with a similar joke.

Definite all time sports day. I remember posting in the last World Cup thread as that goal happened.

I'm going with a bold prediction for the US. Beats Ghana 2-1, ties Portugal 1-1, and then a 0-0 tie with a German team that had already secured advancement. 5 points and we move on. I hope for Brazil's sake that they win it all and if I had to pick a favorite it would be them. Argentina and Spain have to be in the discussion as well. My darkhorse is Belgium with loads of young talent.

 

[Tom Brown]

It wouldn't surprise me if we go 1-1-1 in group or 2-1-0 in group. I concede Germany.

Good idea to concede. 1-1-1 is doable

 

[TronCarter]

I'm going the CDS/Jake route: 0-0-3

Prepare for the worst so I can be pleasantly surprised.

team previews and group previews, what i mentioned earlier for those who are curious Carl.
