The US losing a soccar game is like King Kong losing a spelling bee

I love the fact that Mexico is in the same group with Uruguay...that's my neighbor's team...lol.

When Uruguay was playing against Costa Rica...I watched the game in his house with eight other Uruguayans...I was the only beaner in there...and I was rooting for Costa Rica...just to be the villain...lol.

I just talked to him...and we are gonna hold a party when Mexico plays Uruguay...there's going to be a bunch of Uruguayans...I'm going to bring a couple of beaners with me...I want to have some backup this time...it's gonna be great...



BTW...Mexicans are the beaners...Uruguayans are pure carnivores...they love their meat...

Hector, I see Mexico lucked out and got in South Africa's group, but... they got France and Henry's magic hand.

.

I'm more afraid of South Africa than either France and Uruguay.

Playing the inaugural game against the host team is pressure at its highest...I'm praying Mexico gets at least a draw...even though on paper...Mexico is a stronger team than South Africa...this game still worries me the most.

France is playing pretty bad...but they are still France.

I think Mexico will beat Uruguay though...I believe Mexico has a long winning streak against Uruguay in recent years....

The last time Uruguay beat Mexico was in 2003.

The U.S. has a great opportunity with this draw. England will be over-confident as usual so anything is possible...second or first place.

Quite a balanced draw. Group G looks the most difficult, with Portugal and Ivory Coast in the mix.
Spain are going to walk their group.

There should be some kinda icon for this sports thread....Hmm maybe a pic of a horse shoe or something.
