...start soon; first of all- Holly- we're going to kick some Northern Irish ass tomorrow!!! ;) No offence, nothing personal... :) Than- on Wednesday- the Brits are going to cry!!! :) Are your teams playing now? Are you confident about their performances...? I'm not- but trying to be positive; last game- two weeks ago- we lost 1:5 to Denmark... Ehm... But we won with Greece in June so... anything can happen!!!! |

But I have to say I was pretty shocked (and glad) to hear that Marco Van Basten came back to football!!! He apparently even have the attractive football written in the contract as a goal!!! |

After a terrible EC qualifiying series Northern Ireland are now unbeaten in six games. Our main striker, David Healy just broke the NI goal scoring record. And we have a new no-nonsense manager. We will make an impact in this qualifying group. Realistically, England will win it and the other teams are fighting for 2nd place. I predict a 2-1 win for Northern Ireland. Stand up for the Ulstermen! |

Northern Ireland have shown in previous competition they will fight and fight hard, but i'm afraid they are well out of depth in this league, bye, bye. |
| MexQueenFM 03.09.2004 13:59 |
we all know Holland will be out :P see you in Germany Mexico for champion! *cough* Brazil will win again *cough* |

"Northern Ireland have shown in previous competition they will fight and fight hard, but i'm afraid they are well out of depth in this league, bye, bye." With a population of only 1.5 million we're always out of our depth. But that didn't stop us qualifying for three world cups :) Don't forget, we're also the reigning British Champions lol. Pity the Jocks (the new San Marino) aren't in Group Six also as this would have made it an unofficial British Championship tournament, as well as an easy 6 points. Fair play to the English: they always bring a big crowd of good natured supporters over to Windsor, even if most of them are squaddies from Palace Barracks. Makes for a good atmosphere. However, the most eagerly anticipated game for our supporters is Wales in Cardiff next Wednesday, not the Poland or England games. Still trying to figure out why though... |

Check these recent football (soccer) facts... - Greece became the European champion when everybody expected them to be out in the first round. - Once Caldas, a Colombian team with almost no history in international competitions, took home the Copa Libertadores (Latin American Club Championship). - Porto from Portugal became the European Champions League Champion, leaving behind teams like Real Madrid, Man U, AC Milan, and Arsenal whose players are worth 10 times more than the players from Porto. (And I mean worth in money... not skill) - Irak nearly took a bronze medal at the Olympics, after many years of torture by Saddam Hussein's son. Football is becoming more an more unpredictable sport every year, and smaller teams are giving those traditional teams a hard team. The game is more competitive, and that's a great thing. I'd love to see a champion in Germany that has never been a champion before. |

yeah, everyone is getting better, even the US for crying out loud! but Mexico is sinking lower and lower, to hell with the brownies! |

The U.S. Team is too overated. FIFA always tries to put them on the Top 10 ranking, regardless of what they've achieved. I see it only as a FIFA startegy to boost the popularity of football in the U.S. Just look at Freddie Adu already being considered the next Pele or Maradona. The kid is good, but NOT THAT GOOD! |
| MexQueenFM 03.09.2004 16:05 |
if you want overrated look at FIFA's list of best teams Mexico is no 8, wtf? how weed out are they at FIFA? or how much money did Mexico pay? Mexico should be number 8 in America, which would put him in like number 100, for real |
| Mr.Jingles 03.09.2004 16:11 |
How can Greece be #14 after prooving to be the best team in Europe??!! Fuck FIFA, and fuck Joseph Blatter. |

Well- it's in few hours... And stupid english newspapers and news agencies should sack all their informators, for the game is not played in bloody KATOWICE but in CHORZOW, on Stadion Slaski, the biggest stadium in Poland... C'mon- those are two completely different cities!!!! It's not freaking Mauretania- they could just check bloody map of Europe... :S ANYWAY- we're gonna kick some ass AGAIN! Hope David James will be in goal... ;) |

Lord Fenderrus (a.k.a. Fenderek) wrote:After defeating Portugal, France, Czech Republic, and Portugal again in the final I highly doubt it could be luck. Greece went to the Euro 2004 with a winning mentality. They knew that winning the tournament would be very difficult but not impossible, and it showed through the whole tournament. They didn't have the most skilled players in individual terms, but as a team in collective work terms they were better than everybody else and that's why they won.Penetration_Guru wrote: Aren't Albania currently the top team in Europe now...?LOL- exactly!!!

Now, if the Greeks think that they could still achieve more than what they've done already, they possibly will and they probably will keep surprising on upcoming competitions.. But if they start thinking that by winning the Euro 2004 they've done it all, then Greece will eventually go back to being a second class team. |

As I said, Dutch will walk over Czech Rep. Well, not really walk over, but we won! Congrats to the English team as well. First victory allready! |
