It's so much better in person. 8)
I am incredibly jealous. This much => :mrgreen:
I'm not. Think of the battering his eardrums took from those %$£%&*% vuvuzelas!!!!!!
:D :D :D

Not much worse than standing next to my drummer. Hence the earplugs.
Arjen Robben - great player, but not quite German enough to finish.
That team in orange are doing well, though. Sure looking a lot better than the lemons England fielded. :lol:
Today I support Holland. Tomorrow Germany. In the final Germany.
vorsprung durch taktik. 8)
3-2 Holland. One minute left.
Why did Van Brommel get a card at the end? When the ref blew for a Holland free kick cos Uruguay handballed. That makes no sense - what did I miss?
3-2 to Holland. Final Score. Uruguay out, Suarez wont get his World Cup Final. Awesome. 8)
So that's Holland through to the final - now come on Spain!
Here's a little food for thought.....
Brazil won the WC in 1994 and 1970. 1994 + 1970 = 3964.
Argentina won it in 1978 and 1986. 1978 + 1986 = 3964.
2010 + 1954 = 3964. Anyone like to guess who won the WC in 1954? Give you a clue - they play Spain tomorrow night!
:D :D :D

How the hell did you figure that out, Vic? Do you have a secret hobby in numerology or something we don't know about?

Ok so us Americans can't compete in soccer at the global level yet...but the World Cup is yesterday's news. The big news of the weekend was American Joey Chesnut winning the Nathan's Hot Dog eating contest downing 54 hot dogs in 10 minutes....now that was exciting waiting to see which contestant would blow his lunch and have reconsume it..goota love it!

It's a long way to the top if you want to rock n roll!

I'd love to be able to tell you it was the result of deep research into Nostradamus' prophecies, or that I was a mathematical genius, but the truth is more mundane....a German friend posted it on facebook!

3964 + 3964 + (number of posts to reach status of GN Addict) 2000 + my age (53) = 9971. My current number of posts. Weird, huh? (Cue Twilight Zone theme music.............)
:D :D :D

2066 (my current number of posts) + 26 (my age) + 4 (minimum number of times I check GN daily) + 1868 (ave. number of expletives issued by me* during a football game where I support one of the two teams playing) = 3964
Spooky, eh?
*includes those in foreign languages, such as Italian, French, and German. Speaking of which.......oi Nuno! Can you teach me some football-related Spanish dirty words please? I'm not fluent in vulgarespanol yet. :oops:
Do you know Paul, the psychic octopus?
Scrybe, the Spanish dirty words (or tacos) football-related always have the same target: the referee's mother.
