I wouldn't say none. I've been a Saints my whole life, I'm used to sticking with teams that suck.

The US hasn't a chance in hell of getting out of their group. I also want England to win. I'll be cheering for them. Goddess, I hope France doesn't win, gloating poo-heads.

Doesn't Brazil win every time around?

Secret desire? Ireland. They never do. They're decent, but they never make it very far. I do remember one turn they did make it decently far, but Italy whipped their ass. I had an Ireland World Cup t-shirt.

Haphazard...I'm not going to be a shit, but as an American I happen to like the World Cup, and it is, properly, football.

My bro promised that if he got some extra cash and we went to Europe this summer he'd take me to Germany for a game. Then I promised Zwoti for a stop off and a t-shirt. However, because of my brother's stupid air-head wife, they're getting a divorce so no trip to Europe, no WC game, and no stop off to see the illustrious Zwoti with t-shirt in hand.:( :( :mad: :mad:

Okay, Zero, give me the dates, so that I'm sure not to miss all the games. (It's also golf season, so I'm gonna be fighting my dad).

Last time around they got to the quarter-finals and gave Germany a run for their money, so unlike in the past, I'd say they actually have a shot...not a great one...but an ok one.

I appreciate that. I've been an Oakland Raiders fan all of my life. I still wear all my gear after a wretched 3-year span, same as I did when we went to the Superbowl.

BTW, I hope Aaron Brooks is an upgrade over KFC (Kerry Fuckin' Collins). I never thought he was terrible with you guys. Thoughts?

At least the Raiders have gotten to and won Super Bowls, the Saints are just fucking heartbreaking.


Brooks has every tool and he's shown he's got the talen to use them, he's just not consistent. But Moss' double and triple teams are going to help him a good bit, imo it's up to him, I guess we'll find out.

I might be skipping the golf season this year in favor of the World Cup. Seriously. I'm also hoping that the WC will cheer my brother up a little bit.

@ Austin... Sorry 'bout that. It's not that I wouldn't love to see the US take the World Cup one time. I would. I really would, and I'd gloat about it for years and years. However, my bro and I were talking about teams this time around, and apparently the US isn't doing so well this time. Every team has it's down time, even Argentina and Brazil.

The US team are nobody's mugs, they certainly can give the very top teams a lesson if not approached with caution. The big problem is the tough group you've got with Italy and Czech Republic (also Ghana but they aint doing anything). If you can get a decent result against either of those two you're laughing.

I agree, they don't have the greatest chance, never do and probably never will. I was just saying this time is looking a little brighter than usual due to their run last time.
