			I am from the country, presently hosting the world! It is just great, walking through Hamburg is like a trip to all the participating countries,  having soccer fans in the streets dresses in the colours of their teams and waving their flags. We have the American team staying here in my city during the championship and many fans wait in front of the hotel, trying to get an autograph. You will find a lot houses decorated with all the flags and definitely, there are big parties in the streets in front of the big screens, where the matches are shown in public. 
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	And sorry friends, but Germany will win the cup! 4 : 2 was a decent start.

			With all respect Rather; Costa Rica is a so called soccer dwarf like country and the German defense was quite poor. It is not like the German team beat Argentina is it?  
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	  On the other hand, the Dutch team played a friendly test match 1-1 against another soccer dwarf; the socceroos from Australia. Well, the socceroos do have a Dutch coach, so maybe it was a setup? Anyway, enjoy the atmospherem and may the best team win! Btw mate, is not the country quote " hosting the world " end quote the USA? (soon to be China?)

 it is always dangerous to dismiss the underdog, Australia had to beat Uruguay to get to the finals,they have some talented players (if fit) and they do have a good coach. Look how far some other less favoured teams got in the last world cup. Go the Socceroos. DrD  |

   Yeap, you are wright. Most of the people in the forums think the same for me. I just happen to be a Greek who loves the Chinese and Indonesian Archipelago's culture and tradition ![]() Take care  |

			Hi to all, I am from Bangladesh. I did not see any other Bangladeshi here, may be I am the only person to be with you. Glad to be a part of such nice community and thanks for the thread also.
