Does anybody know if i can watch the games online? ... i'm dying to watch the games.. but i can since im at work...
and my take on the world cup.. looks like the top couple of teams brazil, england, argentina, italy, portugal, france, germany etc. are all pretty strong this year... it will be interesting to see who comes out in the end...

i think brazil is so strong this year, i may not watch much soccer, but i know who ronaldo, andriano, ronaldinho -aka best player in the world, kaka, robinho, cafu etc are. that team is so stacked, it might be the best brazilian team ever. id be very disappointed if they dont run the table. i like the way south american teams play, dont like the boring euro style

euro style aint boring...its just more defensive. brazil is always stacked and always qualifies w/ their 2nd team causing ppl to speculate success. but as we've seen before NEVER count brazil out....

w/ ronaldinho, ronaldo, adriano, robinho, kaka, juninho, ze reberto, cafu, roberto carlos, dida...

thats the dream team of soccer stars...

Brazil always has strong individual players... they've had stronger teams before ... during the days of Romario, Denilson, Rivaldo etc. I think England is extremely strong as well.... they have the most complete team..they need to get rooney back though.. Argentina looked really good in their opener....

england is good offensively...but look at their D...they can hold off good teams only for so long b4 making mistakes. england always suffers from bad defense...ashley cole, sol campbell and rio ferdinand might be good in the english premier league...but compare them to some of italy's finest and their is no competition...

I hate the way italy plays! they try to score then they play D for the rest of the game.

^I dont know man .. i would say Italy is one of the more aggressive european teams... and as far as England is concerned... yeah they try to score that one goal ..and then get into defensive mode... but i like how every1 takes pride in running back and protecting their goal.... instead of just staying up front like most of the teams do..... England needs to stay aggressive... they have a lot of talent up front they need to utilize....
