I'm not a huge soccer fan but I usually really get into the World Cup which kicked off today. Any of you guys got an interest in this? Who do you think is going to win?

I've been waiting for the World Cup for ages. I'm a complete football addict. I'll watch every single match. I went to Ladbrokes last week and stuck £40 on Spain to win it. My last 4 football bets have all come good so here's hoping for number 5!

football isn't really my thing but I watch it during the world cup when I can
I don't really like those people who are extremely patriotic though.. :P

Watched both games today. South Africa Vs Mexico was pretty good but the France Vs Uruguay game was very boring.
England Vs USA tomorrow should be a good game. Looking forward to that.

Yeah, but who do you want to win ID? I hope the Irish don't take on a similar attitude to England as the Scotts do when it comes to football! ;)

Lol!! Well I support Manchester United who are an English club so I'm hoping for Wayne Rooney et all to do well.

Yes I try to watch one match each day. I hope Spain will do a good tournament. I really like soccer, but I am no supporter of any club. I'm rather an enthusiastic of F1 because I like driving videogames. I like watching training sessions too, and I often watch the same race two times (they repeat it at night).
By the way, a pity Ireland is not in WorldCup. That goal with the hand by Henry was totally unfair...!

Not too impressed with a lot of the bigger teams - France, Italy and Spain have been a big let down and England are bloody useless at the moment. If they can't beat Slavenia they don't deserve to go through to the last 16 any way.

The whole tournament has been a disappointment and those horns are driving me mad. England have been terrible but I reckon they'll just sneak through. At least Spain, who I have a bet on, won tonight but they also need to beat Chile to be sure of going through.

LOL Yes, the vuvuzelas produce a horrible tune. It seems a giant fly is flying over the court!
A bit dissapointing, only Portugal scored a good bunch of goals.
And nobody has scored a goal shooting a foul. It seems the famous ball is highly unstable. Maybe some goalkeepers made crucial mistakes because of that.
But at least its the same for every team, so they will have to improvise.

Yeaaaahhhhhh!!!! Spain win the World Cup and my bet has come up. I put £40 on them at 4/1. That's 5 football bets that have won in a row for me!! :P

Congratulations to Spain. It's been a great year for Rafael Nadal. Winning Wimbledon and now his country winning the World Cup. Oh and being in a Shakira video. :D

Yeah, my congratulations to Spain as well; I saw the last few minutes of the overtime.
But man, seeing those long minutes reminded me why I'm not into watching football: the players don't deserve even the gentlest touch of an Oscar for their fake injuries.
