seriously. they are all capitalists you know.

Tomorrow is a good game: England - USA. Im rooting for the Americans, and since this is the opening game of our group, so we will see who do we have to fear the most. Al Qaida said that they will bomb the match, which might not be that bad... Then us and Algerians qualify automaticaly. 
And Im hoping against odds that Nigeria can beat Argentina - I cant stand Maradona.
Good luck against Slovakia on tuesday!

Well, two draws to start the tournament, Uruguay and France drew 0-0. Very interesting.
| | | _strat_ wrote: | | Meh, those rankings dont tell much. They include "old glory" too, thats why the Russians are still very high on the FIFA scale, but havent won anything since 1960, when theyve beaten us in the European cup finals... Anyway... My bet in the evening is Urugvay, since the French are not very good nowadays.

I would have thought the players would be a bit happier though, I know they were close to winning, but they're ranked 90th in the world (around there I think) and Mexico are 17th, and they really pushed them very well. |
