MadMonkey:India is the other side that has to be wary at the moment as they have been beaten by Bangladesh.

Way to go Ireland, first time in the cup and look like going thru to the 2nd round.

BIG BAD WOLF:It's good to see some underdogs making it thru a little bit further. Have to admit there have been a few upsets so far.

Pedro Martínez:It was meant that though they might qualify geographically, they are still improving and add to the flavour of the world cup. Look at Ghana, beating Czech I lost money on this game as I thought they would be top of their group

Pedro Martínez:Pedro what you say is true but look at how it is improving the standard of the game world wide. A few years ago south korea and NZ were about the same, and look at how many aust players play in europe, it's got to be good for football.

Andre Faria:Please don't take offene but teams that made it thru to the world cup must have been the best on the day and deserve to be there. It is then up to the other sides to vanquish them.

Czuch Chuckers: No offence Czuch, but so far you have barracked for the Broncos, colts, donkeys, Panthers. Who have all lost. So do you really want to give the seahawks the kiss of death. LOL enjoy your superbowl.

Beren the 32nd: well seeing as you have our ashes, (lol) I'm backing the Pak'ies. We've got our own contest this weekend taking on the Kiwis in Auckland.

dams: Hi dams, yes there are cricket fans out here. If you scroll back you will see that there are 2 of us that were concerned over the ashes.

farmer sam:Yeah, you could say I predicited it 4 days ago. LOL
Well done poms.

Beren the 32nd:I suspect there are more, anyhow it's poised in Englands favour at the moment. Should be an interesting 4 more days.

Beren the 32nd: You bet yah, though I'm an expat, there is still alot of interest in NZ

Aussie rules kicks off to-night. Now thats a real game of footy lol

This might not cause a big stir but it is the eve of the AFL grand final between Brisbane Vs Port Adelaide. Go the lions.
