Who doesn't like watching race cars? I'd watch F1 if it were on the internet, but Nascar does overshadow most of the car racing in the US since Mr. George sunk Indy car racing.

I missed the announcement the US was throwing together a team for the World Cup this year, so I missed there was a World Cup going on at all. Thanks for the thread so I know what's going on.

Let's see... Italy and Brazil in the final, and Brazil takes it. 10 or so years ago, which was the last time I realized a World Cup was going on, it's what I predicted. I think. Anyway, I'm not sure if the prediction was right back then, but I do think both those teams were in the World Cup, so I'll predict the same thing this year. Someone remind me when it's over and I'll check my prediction. Maybe in 10 or so more years there'll be another World Cup and maybe I'll remember this year's prediction - making this whole exercise a routine.

World Cups are every four years. lain:

Who do you root for? The monkey?

Doesn't really matter, which is precisely my point.

Yeah and somehow we always seem to suck when we get to quarter finals LOL. But hey - here's to hoping!! I would be ecstatic! (and kinda sad that I would miss the party in Holland haha)

But think Spain or Brazil will take it.

Going to the Portuguese/ Brazil game in Durban, that is going to be a brilliant game

So the World Cup isn't actually about to happen, but it's already underway?!?!

When it's American football? Or maybe Canadian football?

I always thought Andy Rooney was very witty. But he isn't very logical. And he's really old. I don't think he's going to help England. In fact, I think he's dead.

But we Catholics think we can get help from the dead.
