The WC in Germany is coming up (starting June 9th) and I'm sure I'm not the only one excited about it in Threshold (I bet even some of you Americans are going to watch some of the games).
So... I hope this thread will follow us through the WC and feel free to post your thoughts and expectations.

Polska do boju!
Meaning - 'Go Poland!'. We should probably be second in our group (behind Germany, with which we'll lose) and will be beaten in the 1/8 by either Sweden or England. It will be a short trip, but let's hope that it will be an exciting one!
So rise, river, rise
Wash this place away

The first round doesn't look very exciting (quite a few weak teams from Africa and North America, though I'm really excited about Italy's group with Italy, USA and Czech Republic battling for the place in the second round. It is my hope that Italy is eliminated and I'm really looking forward for these games.

However, I imagine American sports fanatics probably know about the World Cup.

Personally i'm a huge soccer fan, but I think i'm in the minority here in the US. I think to most 'sports fanatics' here in the US, it's something that takes time away from baseball, basketball and hockey on SportsCenter.Originally posted by Graeblyn

While I am American...I have to agree with Brannick on the - Polska do boju!
Though I'm not as pessimistic as he on our odds.Drasoini suffered a particularly bosomy death on Solaria 25, 272 - 18:56

'Our' odds? If you're american, then you must have some Polih roots, then? Hmmmm?
I am not pessimistic, just realistic. Unfortunately lately Sweden and England beat our asses like they wnat to and whenever they want to. But I'm pretty sure we're gonna leave the group, though...So rise, river, rise
