mjp28 Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 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! I love sports, premium cigars, among other things....GO BROWNS, INDIANS (yeah I'm a die hard), BUCKEYES, YSU, NAVY.....and ND.

Aethec Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 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.

Moderators hazelnut Posted June 18, 2010 Moderators Share Posted June 18, 2010 Will be hoping England can put on a better show tonight, I am confident (I think!)

Moderators DennisD Posted June 28, 2010 Moderators Share Posted June 28, 2010 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.

Aethec Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 I hope Uruguay will be last (4th). Suarez's hand against Ghana was a shame. Piriform French translator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aqua Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 what???/.. a shame....a real shame are the referees performance...that's a real shame.. suarez saved uruguay for losing the game,everything started becuase of him. hope URUGUAY wins ,,but who knows fifa is=MAFIA....they always fix the games.

Aethec Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 Suarez didn't "save" Uruguay. He used his hand to prevent a goal. Isn't one of the most important things in soccer fair play? Using your hand to stop the ball on the goal line isn't fair play at all. Piriform French translator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tasgandy Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 OK folks, so who's going to win? and what is your prediction of the score..........Spain to win 2 goals to 1 Always With Kind RegardsTasgandy"one is never too old to listen & learn" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
