So This Forum Is Dying…?

Yes, its’ come to this I’m afraid. This forum is no longer in vogue. Most users are giving this forum a miss, except a handful.
Even then, they ask and answer silly or non footy related questions. I am one of them myself, but I have no complaints.
This forum has been fun, right from the start in 2006. I have seen so many users come and go, and there has been a lot of good stuff on in here as well.
However all things must end, and this forum is winding down, perhaps even unto a whimper.
But do not despair, when it reverts to FIFA World Cup 2010 and when the tournament is nigh, it will be that new forum that dwarfs all forums.
Those of you who were here during WC 2006 will attest to that. We probably had over 1000 users in a month, maybe much more, during the tournament itself.
And the questions and answers, came thick and fast. So as we close the chapter (I think Yahoo will pull the plug in early December), we can look forward to the new forum, being once again, the premier football forum.
So my question is: Which User in your opinion, has made the greatest impact on this forum?
My choice is Juventina.
She has disappeared from the radar, but for a long time, she could lay claim to being this forum’s most colourful personality.
She either made you like her or detest her. It took me some time, to actually tolerate her and be neutral.
She defended Italy like her life, and never refrained from any debate or argument with non Azzurri fans.She was even more defensive about her beloved Juventus and Gigi Buffon.
Condemn Juve or Buffon, she’d be on you like rampaging bull. But she also made things interesting. She even wanted to report those who criticised her to the FBI at 1 point!
Most times, I took sides with those against her, just for the sheer fun of watching her go into a raging fit.
But I also supported her when she stood alone against some very vile attacks.
So here’s hoping she returns for the next WC and hopefully hasn’t mellowed too much. I still want my kicks!! Lol.
Enjoy this track (kinda suits her, me thinks): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLzqMJQzz…

Hi, I’m a huge soccer fan and I really wanna have a chance to cheer for USA during FIFA world cup 2010 South Africa. it will start from the beginning of June and end in July. Let’s say I ship out for basic in the beginning of April and I go to 9 weeks of basic and take a break for like a week to prepare for AIT. or let’s just say the world cup will begin during my AIT. will I be able to watch those matches live on the internet or at least check the websites to see how did it go? I have a laptop with wi-fi but I think it ain’t a good idea to take it with myself. so what do you think? thank you.

Kind Of Too Early Too Ask, But?

Who do you think will win FIFA World Cup 2010?!
Me and my best friend narrowed it down to Argentina vs. Spain.
He said that Argentina will win because the officials said so, and they said that Italy will win 2006, and they did. I personally think that Spain will win.
Also he said that Germany will beat Italy..I think Brazil will.
So now we’re betting $50.
Also, tomorrow, Real Madrid vs. Liverpool.
Who’ll win?
I’m going for Real Madrid.

What Do You Think?

I think in FIFA world cup 2010,
Cameroon will beat Ghana after penalty in 87th minute
in semifinals
and
Italy will beat South Africa by 2-0 margin, goals by Gilardino and Del Piero
in semifinals
and
in final match between Cameroon and Italy,
Cameroon will emerge winner after a late and lucky strike in the 89th minute when the ball will spin over Buffon’s hand.
And thus…….. …..
Africa will be the winners of the world cup in their home soil
WHAT DO YOU THINK WILL HAPPEN IN NEXT WORLD CUP?
