What ARE you smoking? You've been pretty rational up until now but this is just off the wall!

Don't even smoke the regular stuff, let alone the other kind...

However, I love controversy, and I knew I would get it, thank you very much.

Who knows, perhaps is wishful thinking... so if I do not put it up how else I am going to [possibly] get it....

Besides, what is my risk ?, if Mexico loses against Holland... it was expected, however if Mexico can pull it off.... guess what, he, he, he

Re: the USA and Yugoslavia.... the USA could have beaten Iran, and against the Geriatrics they threw away the game, all the USA needs is forget the Sampson crap play as they can and I do not think that a tie is out of the realm of possibilities...

Belgium is a joke of a team, S. Korea will be hungry to get a WC victory and I would not rule out entirely a S.Korea victory... frankly it is wide open.

The no-goal feat means absolutely nothing, yet another meaningless statistic in the World Cup, who have they played? Belgium and S. Korea, big deal... in fact, I am astonished the they did not beat the crap out of Belgium, and Argentina has played Jamaica and Japan.....

When you start a new game and you are playing a team that is inspired, or energized, your prior record means absolutely ZERO... ZIP... ZILCH.... NOTHING.... NADA.... NICHTS.

Do not forget that Mexico was down by 2 and came back....

I am not saying that Holland is a bad team, on the contrary, I agree with you that they are among the best indeed in this tournament.

But to flat out discount all the opponents, that touches a tad on the Klaus-Arrogance..... be my guest, I hope the team has the same arrogance, the defeat will be all that more enjoyable, he, he, he...

One thing I have learned is to measure one own's ability and be cautious on the self-confidence dept. not that is bad, but you had better delivered, otherwise you will be wiped out. look at Brasil against the TROLLS !!! How could they lose!!!

Perfect example is Spain.... what a pittiful performance, and if you know the Spaniards, you should know that their Matador ego has one big red arse tonight..... going home to the Nigerians and little Paraguay.....

I hope (for your sake), that Holland (the team), does not have your attitude, because if they do, and even if they wipe out Mexico tomorrow.... the next round will be far much different than "Group E".

And do not assume that the Dutch team is without their problems.... No Kluivert... no Jonk.

May be this is the reason why Brasil has been able to win the Cup more than anybody else, because in spite of their clearly superior skill, I have NEVER seen a Team Brasil being as cocky as I have seen everyone else...

I believe that in this Cup there may be a really big surprise, I have never seen the teams so equally matched before. I do not deny certain moments of brilliance by certain teams, but I do not see a complete dominance as in other tournaments.

In short, we shall see, I know Holland to be the favorite... but I would not discount the Mexican team. Same thing goes for the USA team and the rest of the predictions.... We shall see tomorrow...

Good night for now, see you tomorrow....
