I hope the thread title is clear enough. If the subject isn't of interest, please stay away. This is a World Cup discussion thread, not a "which sport is better" discussion thread.

Good luck with that.

A piece of advice: do not do business in Brazil today. The whole country today has gone football mad and turned into a big Samba party rudely interrupted by a football game.

(I'm using the international definition of "football")

Thanks for the "oing". It looks a little gruesome for USA, but there will still be plenty of great games to watch!

If you have a handy WC ping list, I'd like to be on it. Sometimes I get to work and forget people follow footie on FR.

I just heard a couple of sports guys on the radio talking about the Cup. They were talking about all the pressure on the players and the coaches. They said some of these coaches, if they lose a couple of games in a row, can be fired.

Then they mentioned that the coach of Mexico was told by officialdom not to smoke on the sidelines during the games. These guys on the radio then quipped:

"Damn they don't want them to smoke....... heck there's so much pressure they should be allowed to smoke ....... and drink.

LOL!
