        You can change your minds from last time if you'd like. 2006 World Cup Survey Which team/teams will you be cheering on? What would be your Dream Final? Which team/teams do you hope fail miserably? Do you have a dark horse team that one shouldn't write off? (Team that could shock) Which player(s) do you think will shine the brightest in Germany? Are there any countries that failed to qualify that you wish had? Which World Cup tournament was the first you remember watching? (What year?) Your all-time World Cup memory.

          2006 World Cup Survey Which team/teams will you be cheering on? 1. USA, of course! 2. England and Australia 3. All teams from the Americas (Western Hemisphere) 4. Spain What would be your Dream Final? Brazil -v- England Which team/teams do you hope fail miserably? Iran and Portugal (just because I can't stand CRonaldo) Do you have a dark horse team that one shouldn't write off? (Team that could shock) I really like Ivory Coast to advance out of Group C and possibly reach the quarters. Ukraine reaching the semis wouldn't surprise. Likewise Czech Republic. I think Switzerland can win their group ahead of France and possibly reach the quarters. Which player(s) do you think will shine the brightest in Germany? Young players I think will shine: Lukas Podolski (Germany) Lionel Messi (Argentina) Theo Walcott (England) if given a chance Are there any countries that failed to qualify that you wish had? Cameroon, Uruguay, Republic of Ireland and Wales. I always miss the Tartan Army when Scotland doesn't qualify. What will Rod Stewart do this summer? Which World Cup tournament was the first you remember watching? (What year?) I consider Spain '82 to be my first as I followed the qualifying and finals very closely. I remember very little of Argentina '78 (Italy-Argentina and Italy-Austria vaguely, but Brazil-Sweden I can recall because of the controversial ending) Your all-time World Cup memory. I attended nine matches at USA '94 including the Final. The Brazilian supporters were unbelievable. Otherwise, Italy-Brazil and West Germany-France are ones that stick in my mind. I still can't believe Brazil let that one get away. Best team I've ever seen since following the sport.

England vs. Germany Which team/teams do you hope fail miserably? Oh, I'm not a mean-spirited person! Do you have a dark horse team that one shouldn't write off? (Team that could shock) Ghana maybe? Which player(s) do you think will shine the brightest in Germany? Are there any countries that failed to qualify that you wish had? The Faroe Islands....... Which World Cup tournament was the first you remember watching? (What year?) 1994 Your all-time World Cup memory. Personal memory: Roberto Baggio (1994) failing miserably in the penalty final!

            If you love somebody,
            let them go,
            for if they return,
            they were always yours.
            And if they don't, they never were. (Khalil Gibran)

                  Hat-trick by Croach today. And he did the robot celebration every time! Let's hope we'll see that many times in Germany!

                  Comin' in a mess, going out in style
                  I ain't good lookin', but I'm someone's child

                    One has to wonder whether Eriksson will use a 4-4-2 formation with Crouch partnering Owen up front as he did today. Granted, it was against Jamaica, but Crouch certainly stated his case for inclusion into the starting eleven this week. England just has to hope that once they reach the knockout phase that none of their matches comes down to penalties. Crouch missed today, Lampard on Tuesday, and I think Beckham's rocket blasts in Turkey and Portugal left Earth's gravitational pull.

                      If we reach the knock out phase and end up having to take penalties then we are definately out. Lampard's penalty comes to mind.

                        And at the back, Terry and ACole picked up knocks. Hope they were too serious. Terry's had to do with the hammy. Actually, just now watchnig SkySportsNews and they say Terry had a slight knock on the knee while Cole was a thigh.

                              I found the webcams for a few of the stadiums that will be hosting matches. Berlin - Olympiastadion Gelsenkirchen - AOL Arena Kaiserslautern - Fritz-Walter-Stadion -- scroll down to find three different angles (Cam1 Cam2 Cam3) Munich - Allianz Arena Frankfurt - Commerzbank Arena -- click Arena > Architechture > webcams I don't think the scene is current, though. Looks like you have to be a club member of Borussia Dortmund to view Dortmund's Signal Iduna Park
