Who's watching the World Cup soccer/football matches?

I bought a wallet a few months back that fits my passport in too, I cant get my italian id card untill i go to italy and they havent issued me with another consulate card for this year

Germany - Poland
1 : 0


Poor poland that goal keeper is so hot!

On sunday i am wearing my australian flag and going to watch the football on the main.
I told my teacher i will beat up every brazilian that walks past me if they win!

The Poles can go home, and Germany has made it into the next round - Germany just beat them 1:0 during overtime. All **** is breaking out here. Tomorrow is a holiday, so I imagine the celebrating will continue for a few more hours. With an estimated 30,000+ disappointed Polish fans in Dortmund, hopefully there won't be trouble there. Polish hooligans are just about as notorious as British and German ones.

I just realized that fwan inadvertently used WM (Weltmeisterschaft) in her thread, which probably doesn't say much to members who don't speak German. Are you following the games?

Ive been watching the world cup and seen most of the matches. I am supporting England. Today i watched the Tunisia v Saudia Arabia match, I have never been so bored in my life, and to be honest probably could have took both teams on, and scored!!
Even though I am a woman, I like football, its what you get when your brother and father are footie mad!! But do they really have to change the times of my favourite programmes to fit the matches in, . Good luck to who ever you support, as long as it not Brazil or Argentina .

Here there are three channels showing just football/soccer, on alternating afternoons/evenings. The games are broadcast at 3, 6, and 9 p.m. CET, with analyses and news broadcasts in between. It's currently almost quarter after one in the morning here, and with all the honking horns and shouts/songs, it'll be another half hour or so before I'll be able to get to bed.

We have been watching when we can. My husband is a soccer coach (has been for 22 years).

I felt a little bad for Poland today - to get scored on in the last minutes. I couldn't believe when I heard the announcer say they haven't won against Germany in 85 years! Wow - that's some record.

Not me, I hate soccer. I've tried to watch it but it is so boring, I just can't get into it

So its World Cup time again how is it affecting your life ?? do you have Football Mad Moggies ? Or am I the only one whose man thinks nothing else exists outside the world of football (for how ever many weeks this thing is on for)

I haven't watched every match but most of them England are playing today against Trinidad and Tobago and I'll have my eyes glued to the TV. They have all the matches on in my gym so I usually manage to catch the evening ones while Im in there. I don't usually take the time to watch football but when there is something like this going on I just get addicted.
It was funny watching England on Saturday in the gym because everyone was rooting for them to lose except for me being just about the only English person in my gym haha.

Sorry! I thought they used WM everywhere else too?

I dont like football, but its hard not to get into the spirit with everything going on here!

I have watched nearly every match, i see people all dressed up!
I am dressing up on sunday and watching the big screen along the river!

The only bad thing about it is that my dad has invaded my room to watch the football because my tv is the only one that shows it!
Its only untill the 9th of July!

They've come into work with their England shirts on today because their playing this afternoon.

Weve came in an hour earlier so we can finish early so they can get home to watch the game, but me, i'm hitting the shops!!

I hate football with a passion!

I've not seen as much as I'd like and guess who's got a hair appt booked for 5.30pm today? I can't cancel it as my hair is beyond overdue for a cut and some colour so I'm going to record the england match, drive home with my eyes closed and then watch it right the way through

Haha I made mine for 3pm today so should be home just after kick off..

I hope the towns empty for my retail therapy

The pubs will be packed! Mark and his mates were in Newcastle last weekend for a stag do and because England won on Sat it was heaving. Some bouncer said he wouldn't let them into the club unless they said the love England (they were ALL Scottish)

They were in Blue bamboo on friday which they are all now saying with a geordie accent and Tiger Tiger on Saturday. Not sure what pubs they went to though. Or the name of the hotel for that matter but I think it was pretty close to the town or, sorry, the 'Toon'
They went paintballing on Saturday too, Mark is covered in bruises. I text him on their way back on Sunday and told him to go and see you haha.
