Official UT World Cup 2006 Thread

Ukraine dreadful.

First time jitters, combined with bad luck, poor officiating and a horrid midfield.
 
Poland put up a great fight against Germany, but unfortunately luck wasn't on their side at this World Cup.
 
Ghana! My lord, that was one awesome game.

It was. Hopefully they can go far now that my other wildcard pick, Ivory Coast, seems to be finished.

I think Brazil will take it all though.
 
^ Yes, but much of that has to do with the fact Brazil has won 2 of the last 3 world cups.
Expect Argentina (which I think has the best talent all around) to make it to the finals. An Argentina vs. Brazil matchup would be spectacular.

Argentina didn't look too impressive in their game against Ivory Coast. I don't think they'll win.
 
If Ukraine doesn't win today I'll be crushed :(

Nice own goal by Italy though.

It would be funny if the US wins the next game on an own goal, Italy wins, and the US advances to the second round without scoring a goal.
 
^ You did fine today.

I take it you didn't see their win over Serbia-Montenegro?
 
If there is going to be a half hour video when the World Cup is over - showing pretty, sweaty, young men swapping shirts - I'll watch, I guess ...
 
BB - you should head over to our place. Every night when I come home my wife has a new Beckham topless image perfectly centred on our monitor.

I'd kill for those abs. :)

Unfortunately, she'd kill me for those abs. :\
