I was hoping to do it like a forum wide bet, something to get everyone to pay that much more attention to the Americans stunning upset, but I'll go one on one if you want. The question is, how do we do it. I mean, I don't know if people use a "point" system when betting on football. Not exactly familar. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> We could start up a "TOMBS - World Cup Edition" thread and award points to people who correctly guess who goes through from the groups, win/lose/draw, scoreline(s), goalscorer(s), etc... :cool:

Good God, man - nobody's saying you should stay married. Just marry the rich bitch like Laozi said, then whack her and take her money. See? Simple.

It's completely sick and disgusting...the XBOX 360 that is. ^_^

World Cup 2006 as brought to you by Don Jaguar Group A 1. Germany 2. Ecuador 3. Poland 4. Costa Rica Easy group for Germany to coast though with only Ecuador providing the conciliatory South American flair. --- Group B 1. England 2. Sweden 3. Paraguay 4. Trinidad & Tobago Even if England were to draw with the Swedes they're likely to top the group simply by "out-whipping" Paraguay and T&T. It is possible the Swedes may cause and upset against England thereby topping the group, since they do have the likes of Ibrahimovic, Freddy Ljungberg, and Larsson. --- Group C 1. Holland 2. Argentina 3. Ivory Coast 4. Serbia This is of course the OTHER "Group of Death". Marco Van Basten has been building a great team and they play a very adaptable system reminiscent of Total Football. I expect both the Argies and Dutchies to beat Serbia and the Ivory Coast. Holland vs Argentina will of course be one of THE games from the group stage....but I expect The Netherlands to be the more disciplined side in the end. Also, while Serbia may to the more technically gifted squad when compared to Ivory Coast, I believe the latter have the better people in the key positions to see them finish ahead (Drogba up front, Toure and Eboue in defence). --- Group D 1. Mexico 2. Portugal 3. Angola 4. Iran While Angola and Iran should fulfill their role as group whipping boys, I feel that Mexico (as a force in international soccer), has firmly been on the ascendancy during the last few years, while Portugal on the other hand has been in decline. Their so called "Golden Generation" spearheaded by Luis Figo has failed to deliver. Further, Mexico have well established themselves to play an entertaining, attacking style. --- Group E 1. Czech Rep. 2. Italy 3. USA 4. Ghana Poor, poor USA. In any other group they could and perhaps should go through (with perhaps the exception of Grp C). In terms of technique, the Czechs are one of the strongest teams in Europe, and Italia has one of the most talented squads in the tournament. Unless Italy choke (again!) I can't see USA going through. --- Group F 1. Brazil 2. Australia 3. Japan 4. Croatia Brazil are hands down my favorites for the tournaments. Ronaldo + Ronaldinho + Adriano + Robinho = GOALS, GOALS and more GOALS! You might be wondering what I'm smoking to expect the Aussies to finish 2nd, but they're being coached by the exceptionally gifted and successful trainer, Guus Hiddink. Hiddink has previously twice reached the Semi-Finals of a World Cup, with Holland in '98, and South Korea in 2002. --- Group G 1. France 2. S. Korea 3. Switzerland 4. Togo Pires, Vieira, Zidane and Thierry Henry effectively should seal the deal for France. I can't really see South Korea having any problems going through as Togo and the Swiss are both rather weak. With the exception of Senderos, I can't really think of one international class player the Swiss have. That being said, surely they're better than a Togo. --- Group H 1. Spain 2. Ukraine 3. Tunisia 4. Saudi Arabia Arabian Frights more like it. Spain to comfortably win the group (expect a chap called Fernando Torres to make a name for himself), with Ukraine shadowing behind, and Tunis' to rejoin my supply centres in our Diplomacy game where they belong.

Would that be considered wall to wall shag carpeting? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That's certainly what he seems to pre-fur.

Poor, poor PC gaming.

I told you not to turn around. Sorry friend, but I couldn't resist.

Wow - that tanked pretty royally.

Oh the Garbage man can, Drak. The Garbage Man can. ♫ Who can take your trash out? Stomp it down for you? Shake the plastic bag and do the twisty thingy too? THE GARBAGE MAN!! Oh the Garbage Man can ♫

Except for your very post which is highly reminiscent of that Simpons 'Loveday' episode where Homer becomes the chief garbage man - The BEST Simpsons Episode Ever! :D

wtf... Mario and the Nintendo classics asside (that's right they came from Japan)... what about Final Fantasy and the Resident Evil series. Geezus. Japan rocks for computer games. Saying they're all into nothing but porn is kinda lame on your part. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You gotta admit that porn is a factor in a lot of their games, though. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> And that's been a bad thing since when...? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Since taste became a requisite for the dignified man/woman.

Totally sweet & awesome!

Sent again.

*bump* <_<

No but seriously folks, neither England or USA have a chance in hell. Why? Two reasons: Ronaldinho (Brazil) Thierry Henry (France) These two players are 10 times as good as ALL the players in the England and US squad....put together! Va va voom. ^_^

Well according to legend, Mr.T once punched Chuck Norris at the exact moment he roundhouse kicked Mr.T in the chest. The result was the 80's.

I'm so sorry for you, Jim.

Has anyone else noticed that during these Euro and World Cup competitions, the commentators are completely biased towards England...even when they're not actually playing?

Not to mention the proceedings of Nartwak's morning prayer...

Forget that ****, we got...

That's a problem all right. I believe the stuctural integrity of Ajuur's Cantina has been compromised. ^_^

I can't open the movie, because it has a 'bad public movie atom'. The mind boggles. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> http://www.apple.com/trailers/fox/x3/large.html better link <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Your link sucks because quicktime sucks <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yeah, but the only better formats for movie trailers are DVD and Theatre. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Actually my friend, the link sucked because the trailer itself sucked. --> <_<
