Anyone in a World Cup mood these days? Use this thread to discuss it!  Canada doesn't have a team in the World Cup, so go GERMANY!  |

Yes, looking forward to it as well. As usual Norway isn't qualified, so are hoping for Argentina or Germany

I appreciate your team choice as I think that "we" have a realistic chance to be among the final four again (the only nation to do so more than once in the past three World Cups, resulting in one second place and two third place finishes). On the other hand, your choice seems a bit opportunist, considering the current result shown here ;). Perhaps you should have chosen a country not represented in the forum at all (several possibilities with very good chances) or maybe even your neighbour country (that might have become a short and painful experience though). |

After we saw German team flew with B747-8 in special livery FANHANSA Well, they didn't really use that B747-8 for their trip to Brazil. Instead, it was an AIRBUS that took them to Salvador de Bahia. The reason might be that SSA airport with a runway of just 3000m perhaps can't even handle the 747-8? |

Perhaps you should have chosen a country not represented in the forum at all (several possibilities with very good chances) or maybe even your neighbour country (that might have become a short and painful experience though). Well, I'll go on a bit further and state that since we don't have anyone from Spain here (yet, or maybe they're lurking here - apologies if so), I would be happy for anyone who stops their trophy streak!  j/k. A big Hola to all Spain fans!  I've been a Germany fan for the past decade or so, rooting for them at every major event. If I had to support a "board neutral" team, it would most likely be Brazil, but they've lost their flair over the years after the formidable 4R team of 2002. As for our wonderful neighbour south of the border, I do hope they make it past the first round. OK...some German ties there too with Klinsmann at the helm, lol. And by pure coincidence, I like the Dutch too and rooted for them at last time's final against Spain. |

After the first match, who on this forum believes Brazil is the favorite to win the cup ? Can referee crush on their team overcome perceived defensive (and goal-keeper) weaknesses ?
