It adds such an element of unpredictability (I'm not just saying that because I picked wrong) that it makes this format unique in soccer. <BR/><BR/>All that wave of momentum that you ride through group is immediately wiped away.

That's exactly what the U.S. needs.CACuzcatlanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07615153839993436859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5437561489188679737.post-82516857448462120852008-06-21T15:19:00.000-07:002008-06-21T15:19:00.000-07:00I'm happy to see lots of Russian fans traveling to...I'm happy to see lots of Russian fans traveling to watch the games...means that unlike the bad old day Russia is on the way to being a normal country....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5437561489188679737.post-79800071620622173952008-06-21T14:23:00.000-07:002008-06-21T14:23:00.000-07:00I'd imagine England's absence has helped keep fan ...I'd imagine England's absence has helped keep fan incidents down, too.The Brofessorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01854919059286285006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5437561489188679737.post-72624407384868447422008-06-21T14:16:00.000-07:002008-06-21T14:16:00.000-07:00yeah, ESPN deportes had an article on how fan viol...yeah, ESPN deportes had an article on how fan violence was down because with so many women at games, guys were better behaved.A.C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03617669285297119500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5437561489188679737.post-50555167888615321552008-06-21T13:37:00.000-07:002008-06-21T13:37:00.000-07:00Hiddink has the guys playing very well, better tha...Hiddink has the guys playing very well, better than the Dutch.<BR/><BR/>Interesting article here.<BR/><BR/>http://www.dw-world.de/dw/article/0,2144,3428952,00.htmlMister Zerohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14321721667225737445noreply@blogger.com
