2010 World Cup Soccer Tournament

Any 2010 World Cup gurus out there?

I got into my first ever WC Soccer Fantasy Tournaments this year, not doing too bad, I'm 5-3, 11 points....woulda' been 6-2 if it weren't for the "generous" UK goalie vs the USA.

But I'm tied for 1st out of 10 so far -and- I love competition!

Go Germany/Brazil!

Switzerland just won against Spain ! :blink:

Surprising in'nit?

Does anyone know of a software/widget that would show live updates on the desktop? I had something like that last time! I can't find any right now! :(

I don't use Firefox so I have no idea if this works ishan

This one seems to work : http://www.softpedia.com/get/Windows-Widgets/News/Soccer-News-Vista-Gadget.shtml

It's a shareware, but the only limitation according to Softpedia is a nag screen.;)

I'm playing on Yahoo Sports and they offered one to run on the bottom of the screen.

And how about Mexico shutting out France!

And good for Greece winning, the African nation teams not doing too well, I'm surprised....pressure to win?

Will be hoping England can put on a better show tonight, I am confident (I think!)

Things can get a bit out of hand it seems, family wise, when the world cup is on.

It's not because of the world cup, it's because the wife & her children are mad :o

Well anyone's favorite teams still alive??

I dropped from #1 to #3 in our FL tournament becasue I was going to pick Gahana 2-1 over the USA but chickened out....lost 6 big points, oh well.

The English squad got what they deserved yesterday from Germany. They haven't played a decent game since the World Cup kicked off.

They keep talking about the amazing "Premiership", and that it's the best league in the world. I agree, but that's down in a big way to the amount of foreign players playing in it.

Put a squad of English nationals together and you get what we've sadly witnessed over the last couple of weeks.

Really disappointing, and my heart goes out to the loyal fans who've spent a fortune on supporting them. They deserved better.

All JMHO of course.

Both my favourites are alive.

Germany and Brazil. My eyes are on Argentina now.

And then there were four:

Netherlands vs Uruguay

Germany vs Spain

....and I'm only 4 little points out of 1st in our tournament.

So, who wins it?

I hope Uruguay will be last (4th). Suarez's hand against Ghana was a shame.
