Well I'm psyched that we've managed to not be in a group of death. I think Cameroon could prove the trickiest of the 3 other teams, but as long as they take each match seriously I think we should come through Group E at the top. I certainly hope that's the case, as I wouldn't fancy having to play Italy in the next round if they win their group and the Dutch finish second.

As for the rest of the draw, Brazil v Portugal makes me laugh. A LOT.

Brazil-Portugal makes me laugh too, but I'm not sure why everyone think it's the Group of Death. They're both going to get through, the rest of it is a joke - I mean, Chile? Seriously? CHILE? Lol...

It's a group of death for N. Korea, that's for damn sure. And I would LOVE it if Chile managed to come in second.

Be warned that the article itself uses quite militant language about the issue

Yes, heaven forbid anyone be offended by the queers getting angry about discrimination.

Didn't mean to offend. I was just hoping to stay as neutral as possible about this story until there's more information from Pauw or the players.

I agree that none of the other 3 teams will be walkovers, but it's still pretty much a middling group, wouldn't you say? Should be fun, at any rate, especially against the Cameroonians.

Remember....Danish Dynamite ;). We have red we have white, we have danish dynamite...
But anyways, I more hate the fact that the first game is on a working day for me and its at a time when I have to work.

I do remember the Danes, I do.... I remember them when they had Schmeichel! *G*

And oh man, good thought. When I get a job this summer I have to try and get all these days off.... >

Hmmm, where to watch? Maybe I should schedule a trip to the Netherlands then to make sure I can actually watch the matches. ;) Also there is a 50/50 chance I'll be in the states by the time the semis happen, and if they're in it... *freaks out at thoughts of time difference and having cable access*
