I don't recall those lines. Perhaps he said them, but who cares. He has earned much more of my respect and that is all that matters.

Laugh all you want, but dude, Bosnia should be qualifying.
I don't think you understand. Bosnia would have to have beaten Spain, Turkey and Belgium and then they should have beaten Portugal too.

You qualified by beating El Salvador.

Ghana, Usa, Uruguay or South Korea?
Which one of the 4 will make the semis? What do you guys think?

Will Ghana get a push to save Africa's pride?

Personally I'd like USA or Uruguay to make it there, but tbh, I will be happy with any of them. I know how much a semi means to a smaller football nation. The Koreans actually felt it recently too so, when I think again, I'd prefer one of the other three to make it.
I'd prefer Ghana and Korea to make it, but I expect USA and Urugvay to advance.
:disagree:

Can't find more videos, but their Giovinco will prove you wrong. Only 17 yo.
Isn't he Mexican? :p

I think I heard something about him but didn't know he's decided for USA.

What about EURO 2012?
Again you've been given a tricky group. Only 1 qualifies directly and one gets a play-off match. Belgium, Germany and Turkey, with a tricky Austria in the mixture.....not an easy group.

Bosnians have France and Romania. They can actually do something there.

I think the Bosnians will qualify without problems. To be fair to them, they deserved to go to the World Cup too.

As for Belgium.. we're the better of Turkey IMO and have done well against them in recent games. I think we'll beat Germany at home, but they will probably beat us in the second game and I think we'll score only 4 points against Turkey, where they will score six out of six. I also think Austria don't suit us, so those games will probably be the key.

The Turks might even beat Germany. That's a match where I see them more motivated than ever.

We were given the easiest group ever (Croatia, Greece, Israel ,Latvia, Georgia, Malta) and if we fail to qualify I give up on national team football.

I think France will become a force with Blanc. They need someone like him, someone with charisma to motivate them and enough discipline to purge out the clans that have formed.

Walk in the park.

Slovakia will apparently play 4-2-3-1. As it was the case with the Azzurri players, the Slovaks also had problems adjusting to the new roles many of them have been given in the team. Apparently, 4-2-3-1 is the formation that suits most of them and since the circumstances require a win today, the Slovak coach will actually play the wanted 4-2-3-1.

I have no idea if there is any truth in this.

Gattuso will play for Italy... Slovakia's formation hardly matters.

If New Zealand and Italy get the same results (wins or draws) with the same score that will result in a coin toss deciding who goes through.
