Sign me up! I WANT IN!!

Man, K-wix you are quite talented with this stuff. Would it be possible to get one made up for me? Don't know what I would want yet just asking incase you are too busy.

Welcome to the club man...I'm from Holland so I have to hate them given that they cheated their way past us in the Euro 2004 and World Cup 2006 so far....

Definately the Germans....just because Im from Holland and portugal knocked us out of the world cup in the worst game I've ever seen.

Well I got 3 out of the 4 correct...... stupid Portugal destroying my hopes for a perfect week...

Well since I'm too late to make a prediction on germany and italy (even though those would have been my pics) I will make a choice on Brazil vs France and England vs Portugal... Let's see I honestly feel that France is going to win over Brazil 2-1 just because they beat a really good Spanish side with ease and Brazil has yet to prove themselves the same team as 2002. As for England vs Portugal, I will have to go with England on this one just because Portugal is missing Deco, Costinha and possibly Christiano Rinaldo who is still feeling the effects of the Dutch game... also Im Dutch so I am still angry that Portugal got through in what has to be the worst match I've ever seen. Also I dont get how Figo did not get suspended for that headbut to Van Bommels face!!!! But yeah.... France and England FTW!!!!

Alright Round of 16 is here! Lets see who you pick to go on! Teams in Bold are my picks! Germany vs Sweden Argentina vs Mexico Italy vs Australia Switzerland vs Ukraine England vs Ecuador Portugal vs Netherlands Brazil vs Ghana (they have beaten the before, and this is a risk but I'm saying they will beat them again) Spain vs France

Just a little trivia here: 18 Red cards in this World Cup so far, and the record is 22....i smell a new record coming. I completely agree with you Xterminator, but im sure that Ghana has to face Brazil in the round of 16.

why are you guys blaming everything on the refs? The US didnt deserve to go onto the round of 16 this year and here is why: 1. They showed absolutely no life against the Czech's and agaisnt a team like that your going to get smashed no matter what unless you actually put some effert in, to me this is the game that killed your whole chance of making it. 2. Everyone seems to be blaming both your games with Italy and Ghana on the ref's. Ok in the game against Italy the ref was horrible but the calls he made for the red cards to both teams were fair. Obviously the 2 footed slide to the guys ankle spikes up deserves a red card no question. Also Pope's red card was not a direct red either.... he had previously been yellow carded and then repeated the same exact tackle a second time, now that just stupidity. Sure maybe the pk was a little harsh in the game against Ghana but the US team still didnt score when they had the chances and a tie was no good anyways. So you cant blame the refs for the US teams lack of finishing. 3. Ghana and Italy deserved to move on because they played the best of all the teams.

I hope you guys realize that Pope's red card was no a direct send off. It was his second yellow of the match for committing the same type of hard tackle. As for the ref...he should be banned from all further play and have his license removed by FIFA.

I completely agree with all of you that the ref was a complete fool in this game except for on one occasion... the red card against Mastreoni. In my opinion that red card was completely legit, a double foot slide with spikes up at someone's ankle is a red card period. Pirlo's ankle could have been snapped! But yeah the ref was horrible and as usual the Italians played cheap (ie elbow to the face and unnecessaty diving). Also i was quite impressed with USA showing after going down to 9 men.

Haha yeah this was a great match to watch.

Im so mad TnT tied Sweden.....they ruined my chances of winning $153.26 on proline..... ah well it was good to see an underdog do well i guess.

Anyone else find it interesting how the FIFA ranking systems are going to be changed directly after the World Cup due to the fact that the US is now a top 5 rank while major futball countries such as Germany, Italy, Argentina, England, France, don't even rank in the top 10. I think its about time they changed the ranking system. I still find it really odd how the US can be ranked in the top 5 let alone the top 15 when they have been destroyed by Germany and Italy (both 4-0 defeats) in recent months.
