CAMAAAAAAAAAAAAANN

Cant wait for this to start now..

I have drawn Iran in our family's betting ring, £10 a feckin pop as well. Suppose there's always that prize for last place as well. Mind you Togo are looking on for that..

What are your bets for the winner? Can never count out Brazil and Germany though judging by the hype here you'd think Engerland had won it already..

Clearly you aren't up on the info like we are in England...

Rooneys foot isnt really broken....its just a clever ploy to fool those Brazilians and Gemermans....they'll bring him on and they'll go "Gott in himmerl....stupid Englanders wiz zer Britischer Pig dog Rooney....dont zey know his foot is kaput!"...

See....Sven is a genius :) ;)

Well done Germany! Nice game to watch, though little defense on the Costa Rica side... Looks to be a good start...

Germermany has got a bit weird lately, what with country music at the eurovision contest, then the above... it leaves me lost for words but it does answer a few questions about Genosse.

Englands invasion on Frankfurt off to a start, already they're in trouble for nazi salutes, having swastikas and generally thinking they're funny - apparently its only funny if Monty Python does it?

The word "swastika" comes from the Sanskrit svastika - "su" meaning "good," "asti" meaning "to be," and "ka" as a suffix.

Until the Nazis used this symbol, the swastika was used by many cultures throughout the past 3,000 years to represent life, sun, power, strength, and good luck.

Perhaps its just a misunderstanding and everybody will laugh about it afterwards ^:)

Hey, this has nothing to do with me ... I did not/do not/will not belong to any of these livery wearing conservative groups. Thank God that I missed the FIFA opening festivities ... :roll: #-o \:D/

Yes, I hope everybody will laugh about it .. hopefully ... :?

Despite its origin and its original meaning the swastika is forbidden to use and display in any way because it belongs to an anti-constitutional organisation (to the former Nazi party NSDAP and following modern organisations). Anyone who´ll be convictited for it can get into prison for up to five years. So the English supporters will be wisely advised not to use the swastika nor the nazi salute ... this is a big NO-NO in Germermany ... :roll:

Anyhow, I like to see a soccer tournament with great matches and no riots ... may the better team win! And admittedly it won´t be Germany ... ;)
