| | Are there any (American) World Cup/Soccer fans here? | | I love soccer but most of my friends make fun of me because they only like baseball and football and the other "American" sports (basketball). Maybe I'm just weird, because I also like hockey. lol.Seriously though, I've played soccer ever since I was a kid, and I've always liked watching soccer games and going to soccer games and stuff. I'm just wondering if there's any other American soccer fans out there. What websites do you use to get info from (in English, please!). I've found one ( www.2010wcfans.com ) but I'm looking for more.Maybe it's just the city where I live but people look at me like I'm speaking Greek when I bring up soccer.

| | 2010 Fifa world cup soccer in South Africa | | So alot of you might have come accross this particular leopord on the net. It is the offecial mascot of the 2010 Fifa world cup soccer being held in South Africa. I was wandering what you guys think about the design of the mascot, but far more important: I was wandering what you think about South Africa hosting the event. Do you think South Africa will be able to host a event like this? Will they finish building the infrastructure before 2010? Will the country have a good transport system and have enough security and will they be able to handle the thousands of people coming?Please comment. I'd love to hear what people think about this decision to have South Africa host the event. | |

| Who do you think will win the coming World Cup Soccer 2010? | | Many South Africans reckon, South Africa will take the trophy this time. I find it so hard to believe that even some players agree with this statement. I think South Africa will not last the first few rounds and it will be a big embarrassment. Their coaching and players are not even up to standard. All the good players have been bought by other teams and emigrated away from South Africa.Well that's my 5 cents. | |
| | Will there actually be a World Cup Soccer 2010. It will officially be cancelled | | The South African major 2010 transport train "Gautrain" is not going to be completed in time according to some research. There is also a violence issue in the country at the moment.So do not purchase your tickets just yet!If you do decide to come and need accommodation, you can contact me. I have a guest lodge which is close to the Johannesburg Airport which I am renting out to 5 people at $3000 each for the entire world cup season if it is really going to happen! | |
| | what is your favorite goal in football world cup game? | | I still remember the goal scored by Maradona in 1986 mexico world against England. No, i am not talking about the "hand of God" goal, but the second goal, where he dribbled past almost all the english team without passing the ball to any of his team mates and finally scoring against bewildered
shilton. I still remember that goal. What is your favorite goal? | |

| Spectator sports | | What's your favorite spectator sport? I'm Australian so I'm probably biased, but mine is Australian Rules football. It's a hard, fast and furious contact football where the players wear no major protective gear. I wonder how many myLot mambers have watched a game live, or on TV. I'd like to hear your thoughts. | |
| | American women await World Cup soccer draw | | WUHAN, China (AP) -- The U.S. women have won two of soccer's four World Cups -- the inaugural event in 1991 and again in '99.The Americans are the clear favorites to claim a third this year in China, but the task keeps getting tougher."Each successive World Cup is more difficult to win than prior World Cups because of the evolution of the game around the world," said United States coach Greg Ryan, who took over in 2005. "There is much greater parity due to the investment in the women's game."The draw for the 16-team tournament is Sunday in Wuhan, a central Chinese city of 8 million that sprawls across both banks of the Yangzi river.The Americans are ranked No. 1 by FIFA, and have already won this year's two biggest events -- the Algarve Cup in Portugal and the Four Nations tournament in China. The United States will be the seeded team in one of the four groups, with Germany, China and Norway seeded in the others.Germany is the defending champion and ranked No. 2. Norway is No. 3 and China gets seeded as the host country. Germany knocked the Americans out in the semifinals of the 2003 World Cup, which was moved to the United States after the SARS outbreak in... | |
| | The World Cup Soccer 2006 | | Hi,guys who love soccer!
The World Cup Soccer 2006 is getting closer and closer, and I am eager the great soccer feast in which we can see the great performance of the best soccer players and every match will drag many many fan's hearts.
We hope the team, the players we love show their magics and win every match and finally get the title, we will boost and cheer for them.
What a exciting monment!
But Which team do you think will finally win the title?
I prefer Brazil because of the powerful agggression pushed by Ronaldo,Ronaldinho and Kaka.
But I also worry about the fragile defence line made by Caros and Kafu who are getting elder and not in their best form.
And the Brazil Team is consider the hotest team and every other team will make he as their strongest competitor to prepare a tactics.
So I think Brazil team will struggle to win their sixth title.So what do you think? Share your opinion with us! | |
