The only CUP I care about is the one I get to spill once a week !!

I like soccer, but sex is better. I prefer to take my shots on goal with a provider.

I was concerned you didn't pick USA to move out of Group E until I saw you picked England to win it all.  Ain't gonna happen...lol.

Did you see the warm-up match with Belarus  this week?

The Germans care that only rancid US swill will be served at the games. I agree with them. BudMillerCoors are for people who don't like the taste of beer!

i am going to germany for the worldcup this year and will be there in the last week of the june till the final. i do not think england will have better chnace to win though, just look at their pathetic manager...

How about :-
7 David Beckham
11 Joe Cole
8 Frank Lampard
16 Sol Campbell
6 John Terry
9 Steven Gerrard      
10 Michael Owen  
and possibly
Roonlando !!
