Germany, the hosts of the 18th FIFA World Cup™, kick off the tournament on Friday against Costa Rica in Munich (LIVE on ABC at 11:00AM ET).
This represents a change to a tradition established back in 1974 which saw the defending world champions having the honour of getting the proceedings under way. The other two teams in Group A, Poland and Ecuador, will fight it out later in the evening.
Is that a pub?
Feet are for running, tickling, and placing in mouths. (and Dick Morris has a few other purposes, too)........
and hands are for football??
I would love to see the Ticos win today.
But I also like Jurgen Klinsman, he is a good guy, and he has helped out the American teams since he moved to LA>
Game on!
Game's on!
Deon Branch, Superbowl MVP, played soccer in college (at Notre Dame). I still play and was a 3 year letterman in football at tailback and safety. Played DE too.
.....and a few other purposes, too! Regardless of Dick Morris........
No that is a player who is on Manchester United.
Your = You (I got it straight in the OP)
Beat it, this thread ain't for you.
Now for the other 1.5 billion, what a great day this is!
I played soccer as a kid in school. Enjoyed it. Was not a bad goalie, if I do say so myself. But American / Canadian Football is ze best!...........
I was going to go up to the German Corner in Phoenix, but its too early!
Good pub.
He probably got cut from the girl's team as a kid.
I know that. :-)
I was just wondering if he has a pub in Wisconsin named after him?
I was gonna do a WC preview thread the other day, but I knew all the yahoos would come and spam it up.
That is the problem here, so many predictably ignorant posters.
Soccer: no pads, helmets, timeouts, cheerleaders, commercial breaks, seperate defense/offense teams, special teams, No four hour games, No quarters, No officials time outs, No TV time outs, No injury time outs, No two minute warnings, Just 45 Minutes Each Way! Real Football.
Well, so much for this match.....
Goal!
Germany 1 - Costa Rica 0
But, what a goal!!!!
Absolutely fantastic.
Who? How?
