The opening round of the 2006 FIFA World Cup continues on Sunday with three matches, including the first match for CONCACAF side Mexico, which takes on Iran at 12 noon ET, live on ABC.

The other two Group D sides, debutants Angola and a dangerous Portugal, will also be in action, closing the day's action with a 3 p.m. ET meeting in Cologne (ESPN2).

It's not who do you root against, but who do you root for

Nope. There is nobody to root for. Ideally we would like both to lose.

I agree. Keep posting pics of the women. I will continue to frequent this thread.
As far as soccer, uhg. What a terrible game.
Thank God for baseball, basketball and football. All of which are way better in all aspects than soccer.

Thanks for the ping! Did you enjoy the game last night? Who won?

[MoJo2001]

I second that Allegra!

LOL!

Mexico vs Iran?

0-0 draw is fine by me.

"Thank God for baseball, basketball and football. All of which are way better in all aspects than soccer."

LOL. Baseball's one of the most boring sports I've ever had the displeasure to witness. While a 0-0 soccer game can at times be boring, a 1-0 or 2-0 baseball game is like watching paint dry.

Basketball's okay for action, though at times it resembles a game of ping-pong.

And (American) football is just rugby for sissies :)

THAT'S what I'm talking about! YEAH!

I'm watcing little bits of the WC going on right now. Waiting for USA vs CZE tomorrow - 8 p.m. my time. I will glue to that one, cold beer in hand. ;-)

Some interesting football yesterday! Trinidad did a credible job holding a flat team scoreless. Trinidad's Goalie did a great job, however. Looking forward to Mexico kicking the Iranian's butts today.

BTW, I'm enjoying the sportsmanship amongst the players. Must be the effect of players having professional team experiences brought to the world stage. Good stuff that.

I, too, look forward to seeing Mexico give Iran a good beating today!

Just for you, Allegra -

No need to thank me, it was my pleasure to slake your thirst. :^)

[Allegra]

Errr....ummmm, gosh, thanks.

I should have some really good nightmares tonight! ;-)
