I love our chances to get out of group play, but after that it's gonna be rough. I'm already hyper for the USA v. England game.

So you're saying there's a chance!
 
World Cup is a joke. I heard on the radio today that there are still hundreds of thousands of seats available for the games. Meh.
 
Really Archie? The World Cup is a joke? How about you do a little research on it. Also, quit listening/watching Jim Rome. The guy is a douchnozzle to the nth degree.

Eh, on the one hand it isn't really a difficult group. On the other hand I'm not very impressed with the US defense. I hope Gooch gets better. I think they have a shot of advancing out of the group, but it's hardly a sure thing the closer the cup comes.
 
I would like to see the United States and Germany make some noise this year. I really think Germany has a shot, but Ballack's injury is making me worried.

It wasn't Jim Rome who said it, he might of, but I didn't hear it from him.

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/f...tickets-still-available-for-South-Africa.html

What research do you want me to do? The fact that the worlds most popular sport can't even sell out its largest venue? Is that not a joke? Am I missing something?
 
Well first off it's the worlds most watched sporting event. Surpasses the Olympics...

715.1 million people watched the final match of the 2006 World Cup held in Germany

And from that article you linked a couple paragraphs in
Fifa believe they can still take that figure up to around 98 per cent, a ratio which would be comparable with past World Cups, including the hugely popular and fan friendly 2006 tournament in Germany
Click to expand...

On top of that there are a total of 2.9 million tickets available. 100,000 left aint bad, and they will sell most of those. And like the article says, most of those are due to the financial situaiton in South Africa. That doesn't make it a joke. If you want to talk about a joke look at ratings and attendance to the NBA playoffs.
