Still think CL is harder though, as you need to go thorough your own qualification and finish top in your country, but I as well hold the WC higher in prestige. Luckily I'm spared for the plastic italians over hereUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00053423091784370615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7239671995333340850.post-80944212763436057142010-05-20T13:21:42.129-04:002010-05-20T13:21:42.129-04:00I won't toss you for talking Serbia.

Now, you won't see me rocking a Vidic jersey anytime soon, but love that guys game. My fav defender on United (though some would say that isn't saying much this year as only he and Evra had any kind of a season).<br /><br />It wouldn't shock me, however, if the U.S. surprised Serbia or anybody not named Germany in the knockouts. I will bet with total confidence they advance out of their group.TBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00544648114168755444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7239671995333340850.post-3541107372756775982010-05-20T13:17:56.146-04:002010-05-20T13:17:56.146-04:00@Kristian : If Serbia does well, there shouldn'...@Kristian : If Serbia does well, there shouldn't be any surprises. They've got quality players in all positions with a strong back 4 of Kolarov, Subotic, Vidic, and Ivanovic. I have them advancing as far as the quarterfinals, but let's stop talking about Serbia before I get kicked out of this site :)<br /><br />USA, if they somehow manage to make it out of their group, will get trounced by whoever that comes out of Group D.hinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7239671995333340850.post-43944484810243757612010-05-20T13:10:56.901-04:002010-05-20T13:10:56.901-04:00I won't dispute that Inter have had a great ru...I won't dispute that Inter have had a great run, but they've hardly been joys to watch. They didn't deserve to beat United, and completely shamed the game with their performance in Barcelona. Effective? Sure. Ugly? Hell yes.<br /><br />I think you missed my U.S. comment. What I said was if you're looking for a team that plays the game right (no diving) and looks to attack (they sure do) and like an underdog (they are), then support the U.S. To be a non-fan and show up supporting Brazil or Italy.<br /><br />Finally, shit they are not. You do recall what they did in South Africa last year, right? Beat Spain, were beating Brazil? Shit teams don't do that. Hate them if you will, but a team like that will do more to turn people on to the game than even some of the "top" teams will. <br /><br />Kristian A - one more point to the World Cup. I don't think anyone has ever won the WC where you couldn't look at them as the best team or two that year. Can't say the same for CL, where this Saturday I'd say there are maybe a handful of teams better than either of those two. <br /><br />As for the games to win, you are also ignoring that the qualifying takes a hell of a lot of time. Croatia is a top 20 nation by FIFA ranks (often top 10) and they didn't make it. Sure they could do without New Zealand and their kind, but that's what makes it about the one true world championship.TBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00544648114168755444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7239671995333340850.post-17481104934996733302010-05-20T13:01:51.655-04:002010-05-20T13:01:51.655-04:00I asked a couple of my co-workers if they knew who...I asked a couple of my co-workers if they knew who won the last World Cup and it took them awhile to answer. Funnily enough, I already can picture a number of them cheering for Italy next month. Plastic Italians.<br /><br />If Inter Milan wins the Champions League this year, it would mean they have beaten the champions of the Premiership, La Liga, and Bundesliga. 3 of the top 4 leagues by UEFA coefficient. Did I mention they were champion themselves in Serie A and did it by style by beating the runner-up AS Roma in the Copa Italia as well? Jose Mourinho took a bunch of players that the likes of Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Bayern Munchen spat out from their squad and turned them into winners. (If they win Saturday,) they will truly deserve the title and I will forever admire them. <br /><br />I watched the game last night, and it was more distraous for the Suns than the score makes it to be. They had nothing going and it was painful to watch.<br /><br />I can't believe you just asked people to watch USA play? With no more explanations required, They Are Shit.hinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7239671995333340850.post-84926686615456517602010-05-20T12:23:14.555-04:002010-05-20T12:23:14.555-04:00CL first you need to have lots and lots of money, ...CL first you need to have lots and lots of money, then all those other things . . .gbvhnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7239671995333340850.post-76550009301557985832010-05-20T10:32:47.493-04:002010-05-20T10:32:47.493-04:00Agreed that the WC is more prestigous, but that...Agreed that the WC is more prestigous, but that's based on the 4 year interval and symbolic values more than the quality, which I think is Mourinho's point. CL you need first to be one of the best team in your country, then, play at least 13 games, 9 or 11 of those against other very elite teams. World cup you play 7 games to the final... against Togo, Saudia Arabia and some middle of the pack European teams.<br /><br />Personally I love the Worlds in Hockey, most because Norway plays, but understand fully if some are not motivated to play. There were Norwegian players that didn't play either because they were in the Olympics, but don't hear IIHF complain about that... HATE Canada though for sucking so bad this year. Sure 12-1 was nice, but can you beat Czech or the Swiss? No.<br /><br />Good call on USA, they're my "Russia" this year. Serbia might surprise as well.<br /><br />Not like some of their states haven't been invaded because what a small group has done either. The argument is that the states were aiding and harboring the terrorist. If I remember correctly Denmark has defended the drawings at an official level as freedom of speech which does implicate them, regardless of right or wrong.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00053423091784370615noreply@blogger.com
