I'm not Irish, but I've always had a soft spot for Ireland -- don't know why. It sucks they didn't make it in (My friends console me by telling me I can take Ireland to the cup in Fifa 2010 for xbox 360, but this is poor consolation...)

It would be shocking if USA don't make it out of the group stage. Nothing against Algeria and Slovenia but compared to USA and Ingurland, they're cupcakes and it would be an embarrassment if they didn't soundly defeat them both. That leaves the Brits. If they have any shot at all of contending beyond the group stage, they must take the group. That way at least has a chance of advancing to the semi finals. If they don't take the group, then they are screwed as in all likelihood they'd be facing Germany. And even if they somehow pull a shocker and beat them, in all likelihood they'd face Argentina and I don't see the Americans topping them.

But in all honesty, I have England taking the whole thing, beating Italy in the finals. Final 4 is England, Italy, Germany and Netherlands.

By the way Las Vegas has asian style betting lines which is bringing big bucks into the area along with Mexican and S American money.

No European team has ever won it outside of Europe...

Well that's an interesting factoid. It will make it all the more exciting if a European team does end up winning...

i gotta support aus. and i think that since we beat italy last time everywhere but the scoreboard, we have a decent shot at getting a good result against germany and making it to the elimination stages again.

Ok, Mexico got hosed unless there's some other penalty that happened other than offside that I didn't hear. How can there be offside when there's a defender on the goal line?? I haven't heard any other explanation yet, the guys at half time acted like it hadn't happened. Is it if you are behind the goalie??

I'd hate to see the game change too much but as the US$$$ gets more involved and US$$$ advertisers get involved you know there will be pressure to make changes... HOWEVER, considering this and Henri's handball ya gotta think instant reply is a good idea.
