The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

I sure hope Germany won't be kicked out too early. Otherwise it would be such a blow for the Germans' battered morale that mass emigrations are to be expected  ;)

Lol, I believe germany will pass the group stage but I dought they'll reach the final... I really hope Portugal do, but if it's not Portugal to win the World Cup than it better be England or the Czech Republic, Brazil don't stand a chance in my point of view

Don't they?
I have very, very little idea of soccer / football. However, Brasilia is the team which one the World Cup most frequently. While the championship is certainly not a decided matter I do think you are wrong to think that Brazil doesn't have any chance at all. I don't see why they wouldn't.

Lol, I don't like to watch Brazil win this type of things :D
But yeah, Brazil is very strong forward, their defence is a bit problematic, but still I believe that under normal circumstances they'll finish 3rd or 4th... football would just become boring if Brazil won everything.. still It's just what I think, I'm probably the only guy in the whole world who doesn't think much of Ronaldinho   -_-

I think the Us has a chance they ffinished 8th in 2002. Although they are in a tough region, I think they'll advance.

I must admit, I'm not one to follow Soccer/Football to any extent, but I'll cheer for whoever the GoF cheers for! :lol
