    2. Australia and England. On the day the World Cup starts, I will become an Aussie, so will be supporting both teams!
    3. England v Italy and England v Uruguay. With the top performance of Suarez in the EPL, will be interesting to watch against his LFC team mates.
    4. I hold out hope for Australia to win a match, recent performances are promising, but I wouldn't pick them to go all the way unfortunately.

    1. I'll watch a bit.
    2. I hope the winner on the day is football.
    3. None. It's just a game.
    4. Technically yes but the reality is they will lose. I found this site interesting - http://fivethirtyeight.com/interactives/world-cup/

    I feel that you must be a religious zealot who preaches the soccer equivalent of creationism and want's to stifle the views of anyone who speaks the truth...

    :p

    A) Yep.
    B) Vive la France!
    C) I'm not committed enough to wake up to watch games at 3AM.
    D) Not sure, I don't follow the Socceroos

    Who are you going for in the Chile vs. Aus match, Phil!?

    1. Me - Football is god!
    2. HUP HOLLAND!!!
    3. Spain vs Netherlands, Uruguay vs England, Germany vs USA, Russia vs Belgium
    4. If they do, I'll have blown some cash (Australia to finish on 0-1 group points is paying ~ $1.40!!)

    I won't be sleeping much for the next month.....

    For *SPORTS* fans, the thought of sitting in one of these stadiums during a big game is very appealing :)
