This is a 2 in 1 topic lol . Who will win the world cup? Argentina? Germany? Brazil? And are any of u musicians Christopher Reeve Superman fans and awaiting the new movie that they are calling the movie event of the decade... curious rolandfan

Hi Rolandfan,
must admit, this is the first time I'm ever bothered watching. The Socceroos
have had Aussies glued to their seats at the most ridiculous hours of the morning,
this morning it started 1am.
Personally, neither hubby or I know how the rules work, but I tend to think we got dudded by a wrong desician in the last minute of the game & Italy won, 1 to 0.
Left us a bit flat, but at least we'll end up with normal sleeping patterns again. haa haa
Rugby & Aussie rules are the main football sports here, it was great having the Socceroos bring a nation together.

best wishes
Rikki

t.
PS ... with humble apologies to Rikki ...

ITALIA

Tony, Donny,
you are wrong. Germany will win. I don't like 'em but they are the host of the championship.

I'd love to watch Brasil and Argentina on the final.

I know exactly what you mean, though the time here in California was much more civilized. I watched the end of the game that finished here at around 10.00AM. I NEVER watch soccer but just because it was Australia my wife Kerry had it on when I got up this morning. Boy that Italian player was a bit of a poser and although he hadn't been tripped he certainly behaved like he had. ( Not like that sort of thing ever happens in Aussie Rules hey ???? ).

Oh well. The Aussies played really well though and we felt they actually deserved to win the game. We were robbed !!!!

OY, OY, OY

A friend of mine suspected that the referree was tired and needed to rest. That's why he gave a penalty to Italy - probably hi didn't have enough stamina to endure 30 minutes extra time.

Here in South Africa we see the matches at exactly the same time as germany 5pm and 9pm. Although i supported Italy in that match i think its a shame Australia had to be ROBBED by the ref in literally the last few seconds of injury time. I think im looking forward more to the Germany Argentina match than the finals lol. These 2 teams met in the finals in 86 and 90. Argentina won in 86 and Germany won in 90. Argentina have a much improved team compared to the last few world cups. Germany is as strong as always but im praying the Argentinians can win. Germany had their chance in the finals 4 years ago...Its Argentinas turn to try and beat Brazil South Africa is currently the WORST ranked soccer team. Everybody here is saying that we will not win a single match at 2010 . We cant play soccer well anymore. Its a shame.

Is there nobody else here who likes the John Williams Superman theme music which Mr Ottman has kept intact in Superman Returns? Im looking foward just as much to the music as to the film. That theme music over the last 28 years became a part of American culture and mythology

England dont stand a chance against Brazil
