    @ Cath. S.... I just saw on dutch television your coach Joachim Löw.. He said some very kind things about dutch football......I always thought he was a kind man... he just confirmed it ;) how is the general opinion in Germany about their "mannschaft"? Convinced they will get far? or more...

    If I go with the cliché....I would say this: "If you want to become world champion you have to beat everyone so it doesn't matter" But.... there's also the aspect of unpredictable....and the "unlikely" winners have a lot of this quality ;) so... I hope Italy will be our opponent in the 1/8...

    hmm I guess this news is partly overruled by the news of France... at least overhere......(or I should read the newspaper better ;)) For both of my neighbours (i.e. England and Germany) I sincerely hope they will survive the first round....

    Hodges & Wendy - Labrat Love #2, They "ARE" made for each other

    hmmz... If you put it that way.... it sounds very boring... be normal.. I've always thought it was the labrats in all their diversity which made the positive difference with the other two franchises... the ability to create a few episodes which excelled in some absurdity...Well I guess I'm one...

    Hodges & Wendy - Labrat Love #2, They "ARE" made for each other

    I have to look it back... but I thought I heard this "star-crossed" in some behind the scenes from space oddity? Anyway I thought they meant by star crossed something positive.. (didn't know the ill fated meaning :cool:.. being on this forum is also very educational).. A look on the bright...

    It's a bizar world cup..... some results (i.e. the above)... much ado about the french.... I'm with you Grissom rules... I hope also for a solid, good match from the brazilian... but the way things are going... I won't be surprised if there is another surprise...:cool:

    World Politics

    Indeed, press and all kinds of media do influence, one way or another, It's so easy for them to create a hype.... and before you know it everyone is stating it as if it is their own true opinion.... The power is definitely more present these days.... I think there's a lack of "neutral" political...

    someone just mentioned (of course in the endless talkingshows after the match ;)) that number two probably will meet Argentina... so maybe that will prevent a boring game..
