Country:  | Jabberwocky, pbfoot, Wildcat you are either extremely national proud or have guts to believe Aussie can make it.
But it is nothing compared to Tiger's vote (Switzerland) and the absolute joke is Smokey's choice - Togo!  | |

Country:  | It won't be England that's for sure and with the new manager taking over afterwards, I can't see us getting into the World Cup in 2010

Country:  | I chose the Aussies because they are kinda like cousins and are probably less likely to fake injuries and other similar stuff like some nations meaning they'll suck it up

Country: | After what I saw Mclaren did with 'boro, he seems quite a competent manager.
Does anyone else see the irony of Germany playing Poland first ?

Country: | AMERICAN BUS WILL BE FLAG-FREE
With the 2006 soccer World Cup only three weeks away (kick off June 9, in Germany, after a four year wait), many in the world's media are focusing on each and every detail of preparation for the eagerly-awaited tournament. I attach several articles on this.
The official bus for the U.S. soccer team will be the only team-bus not to bear a flag due to security concerns.
In a highly insensitive move, ticketless English soccer fans have been invited to watch the World Cup on giant TVs inside a former Nazi jail. Live games will be beamed to 1,500 fans in the 19th Century Tauberbischofsheim jail used by the Nazis to imprison rounded-up Jews before they were sent to Dachau concentration camp where they were murdered.
If Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad attends the World Cup, as he has said he might, perhaps he could join the English fans in the former Nazi jail to dispel his own doubts about the Holocaust.
Dr. Jurgen Ruttgers, the minister-president of North Rhine-Westphalia, has stressed that Ahmadinejad won't be a welcome guest: "We don't want anybody to create trouble. We want to have a nice and pleasant World Cup." The official motto of the 2006 World Cup is "A Time To Make Friends." | |

Country: | Has anyone else seen the hats some Dutch company has been making. They're basically a German WWII helmut made of plastic and painted in all the team colours. I thought this would go down about as popular as a fart in an elevator.

Country: | I think that idea about the hats is just plain stupid and ignorant.

Country: | I agree. I saw it on the news a few weeks back, apparently no one has complained and the guy behind it all said that they were selling pretty well.

Country: | If they sell, why not take advantage? Honestly, most people today are ignorant and don't even realise they're German military style helmets.
