Good Luck to all teams and enjoy the greatest sport on earth!!!!

Here's a promo clip of Ronaldinho for Nike. Notice when he shoots the ball at the net...it hits the cross bar and returns to him...everytime.
That is skill & discipline to the sport.

Here's a bet for you "I am Birdpup" - England will not conceed a single goal in the first round - a feat that no other team will match!

(now, if I can just figure a way to keep Beckham from playing.....)

In honour of this World Cup...I went to the barber...and it's not an excuse for you people to kick me in the head

The atmosphere in Germany is just nuts!!! it's 2:30 and Im watching live feeds from a 'pirated' dish signal and things are just insane in the streets of Germany. People are in good spirits and everyone is having fun.

Of course the English are being hooligans and trying to destroy all the shops and setting parked cars on fire...
