Topic: World Cup Soccer Germany

[Doc Nyar]

As there are quite a few soccer freaks, I figured I'd start a thread for the WC in Germany.

The Netherlands qualified themselves tonight by a 0 - 2 win over the Chech republic

[Spectral Paladin]

Greece eliminated 

[nampigai]

Greece eliminated 

the same thing happened to Denmark after EC '92 if it's any comfort

[Vetje]

we are going to win the WC 

[Zero D]

we are going to win the WC 

1/4 finale @ max
but then again i gave them the same score last time @ the EK
and although i had that part incorrect i became 3rd (real close to nr 1 and 2) in the poule

[Vetje]

I won last year poule at my work

[lowzeewee]

The Netherlands will do well at the World Cup. I won't bet against them actually lifting the cup!

[Spectral Paladin]

But would you bet for them?

[Phoenix]

we are going to win the WC 

Well as you all know the groupdrawings were last friday.

Group of the netherlands consists of Argentinia, Ivory Coast, and Servie Montenegro...
Hooah!
Thats a group... Group of death they called it.. But when the netherlands got drawed to that group, the audience got noisy.. maybe a good sign..

So lets hope they get along there..

[nampigai]

Denmark sucks too much to be in the VC, people keep saying we have a great team....I just can't see that - in my eyes we have the worst team in years!

[RssDragon]

Well, I think I'll bet on Brazil.

let us see...

How many times did we win?

1 time  ---- no!
2 times ---- no!
3 times ---- no!
4 times ---- no!
5 times ---- yes! ( I think we are one of the favorites, aren't we? )

Sorry to dissapoint you Doc, but I don't think Holland will do so well this time.  Although you never know with Van Basten.  He's got somethings form Rinus Michels, and we all know what he was capable of.

[Doc Nyar]

Sorry to dissapoint you Doc, but I don't think Holland will do so well this time.  Although you never know with Van Basten.  He's got somethings form Rinus Michels, and we all know what he was capable of.

That's the thing, every year people thought the Dutch had a chance and see where they ended. This year everyone thinks they're not going to get far.
I think they'll be a surprise this WC

[Raisor]

You could be right.  If they find a stable base team fast, then they could be a nice outsider.

[Phoenix]

No doubt about it.. The Netherlands won the EC -21, and now we are going to win also the WC.

Van Basten is a very goog football player, he knows a lot, so that would make him a good coach.
He has some young players, but i think they will grow into the tournament like their colleage's did in the EC -21.
