What’s the difference between soccer and tennis?
In tennis, the ball will actually make contact with the net.

I dozed off somewhere between world and cup. Anyway, I like mine black with a little sugar.

I predict 3 hours of sheer almost unrelenting boredom mixed with one or two minutes of interesting play.

It seems as though a sizable group of posters can't wait to waste their time telling everyone how boring, effeminate and anti-American they see soccer must be. Personally, I enjoy soccer but can find no socially redeeming value in watching a bunch of cars drive around a track while the fans wait for a wreck. But then that is just my opinion and I like to think that I have better things to do with my time than trashing NASCAR threads.
That said, the Germans seen to be the best team at the moment.

Well said Jim. It is truly amazing the number of people who go out of their way to make total jackasses out of themselves. I also agree that Germany looks like the best team. Actually they are looking excellent!!!! Nice to watch a team play that seems to have it all. Some very exciting and unexpected moments in this Cup. Continue to enjoy the games. I certainly plan to.

1. Someone will fall down pretending to be hurt.
2. There will be some ridiculous noise coming from the stands making the match unbearable to watch on tv with the mute button firmly mashed.
3. The final (finally) final will end 1 - 0.
4. There will be a riot of some kind.

That said, the Germans seen to be the best team at the moment. And they are by far the most entertaining team.

The Italians won’t be in the Final.
It’s soccer. Someone will stand in the gap for them I am sure.

1. Someone will fall down pretending to be hurt.
— The teams who flop blatantly (are you listening, Argentina?) didn't make the semifinals. Furthermore, the refs are ignoring most of the playacting.
2. There will be some ridiculous noise coming from the stands making the match unbearable to watch on tv with the mute button firmly mashed.
Any more ridiculous than thundersticks? At least soccer fans get together to sing together.
3. The final (finally) final will end 1 - 0.
Not if Germany is in the finals.
4. There will be a riot of some kind.
Not if Germany is in the finals. The police won't issue a permit for a riot.

I’d love to see a Germany-Holland final, can Holland finally get revenge for ‘74?

....”At least soccer fans get together to sing together.”

At least soccer fans get together to sing together.That's why I can't wait for the new EPL season to start, so I can finally hear the fans singing and chanting again.
