meazza Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 That's interesting....I had no idea there were that many Italians in Quebec. That's really cool you had that experience with your dad, too. My dad coached my soccer teams when I was a kid, so it's special to me in that way, too. I was just looking at the schedule and I see that Brazil is playing on Tuesday, so I don't feel quite as bad about working on Monday now, lol. If the Czechs are banged up, I'm more looking forward to the game against you guys anyway. I think we play you next Saturday, right? That's going to rock Hopefully we'll both be 1-0 goign into it to keep it all the more interesting. 706516[/snapback] There are not many Italians in Quebec, only in Montreal Game 2 is on the 22nd at 3PM EST. It should be a nice game. Good luck with them Czechs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How I will be feeling will probably be the reflection of Monday's game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Ivory Coast was looking good today, but they couldn't score. Maybe Ghana will sh-- the bed and it will be an easy 3pts for both of us. It will be a lot more fun the rest of the way if we can both come out of our group and send Ghana and the Czechs home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That on its own will be tough. They have one dude, Stephen Appiah who has a lot of talent. He used to play for Juventus. Not sure where he is now.

kegtapr Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 Oh thanks, I guess I will go crawl back under my rock now....... 706237[/snapback] Come stand on top of mine. I'm pulling for England to win the whole thing. Yeah, yeah...I'm American. But I also recognize America winning the World Cup would be like the Mighty Ducks winning the Stanley Cup....it's just not right. I've got more English in my ancestry than anything else so I stick with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMadCap Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 One thing that kind of sucks about the WC in the US is that there is pretty lackluster coverage. I ended up watching Argentina-Ivory Coast on DTV channel 402, with the commentary in spanish. Looked like Argentina got screwed out of a goal in the first half...

They left Javier Zanetti, Veron, Walter Samuel back at home, and benched Pablo Aimar and still managed to play strong. The coach made the tough move and took out all the "cancers" of the team.

Peter Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 Great game by the Dutch -- although they gave me a few scares at the end. Robben was certainly the "man of the match." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
