World Cup 2010 South Africa Thread

[Mohamed_Sadiq]

As the world cup is approaching I just made this thread so that we can share our thoughts and intrest of the world cup.

I am for Holland and they have quite a easy teams in their groups. ;D

What team are you rooting for? or what team is your favourite please share.

And what's your prediction?

 

[Khalil_Allah]

I like Holland too. I am an Arsenal fan, so I have always had a special place in my heart for Holland with Bergkamp and now Van Persie. But I've to cheer on my country too, USA. As for a team just to watch, you've got to love Brasil. I watch every Brasil game because each player is so finesse.

BTW< I think Spain should take the trophy.

is football even popular in america (your country)

lol SOCCER is not too popular but it's been growing over the years. And everyone watches World Cup anyway. Our national league does not compare to european leagues like EPL or even Ligue 1 in France.

why do america call "rugby" (the one played in nfl)....why do they call it football.


when 95% of the times they use their hands?

it just causes confusion

I'll be rooting for England (obviously). Can't wait to thrash the joke that is the American team in the first round.

 

[quranalim]

Here are some quotess about sports in islam

Umar ibn Al-Khattab (2nd Caliphate):

“Teach your children swimming, archery and horse-riding.”

and (regarding wresting + body building)

"Praise be to Allaah. Bodybuilding aims to make the body strong and sound, which is an important and desirable goal. If the purpose of sport is to prepare the body to be fit to carry out the duty of jihad so as to make the word of Allaah supreme, then sport is essential... If the aim is relaxation and maintaining good health, then sport is permissible. If it involves something haraam, such as missing prayers, uncovering any part of the ‘awrah or mixing with women and so on, then it is haraam

Cool, usa r unpredictable with football (soccer) and they are in the same group as england so they have a tough knockout stages and algeria r quite good don't know about solevenia so its entertaining to watch.
I know wat u mean about brazil they are a talented country but this world cup will be great as many countries have developed.
You should keep an eye on argentina.
Yh, Holland r good!!

 

[Khalil_Allah]

We are unpredictable. We beat Spain in confederations cup last year and were beating Brasil in final before they ran amuck on us. I think England make us nervous tho... we'll see in June.

How could I forget Argentina? Messi has been amazing this year, but besides him, their team is stacked with star players like Spain.


As for "rugby." This is a different sport than american football. American football is its own sport. It's hard to explain because all the rules have a big effect on the game. Furthermore, it is played in frames, stopping after each play. It is not fluid like "soccer" as we call your football. For me, I just grew up with soccer/football, and never really cared about american football.
