Basically, are you looking forward to the World Cup, and how is your country doing in qualifying?

Currently, Ireland are 2nd in their group behind Italy and have games against Cyprus and Montenegro which they should win and will hopefully dcrape a draw at home against Italy.

Brazil is in either first or second in their group. I just hope that their victory in the Confederations Cup help in the World Cup.

Well, I think Brazil are basically guaranteed to get in. They always do.

The world cup is in Brazil in 2014 you know.

I can't wait for the W.C personally. I'll start off cheering on the home team, and after we get our a**es handed to us on a plate, I'll move onto the motherland, Great Britain... lmao! Australia have qualified I think, winning all of our home matches, and two of our away games... The other two were draws though. We're at the top of our group, and

You and I will have it out next month Emmett! Haha! Good luck, to you and Ireland!

Do you support any Australian teams?

Celtic (the team I support) where playing against Brisbane Roar on the 12th. Celtic won 3-0

I'm still a little down that Newcastle United got relegated from the Premier League :(

I support Vasco da Gama. Unfortunately last year, they got relegated from the Brasileirão Série A.

I hope Celtic qualify for the Champions League, what with having a new manager.

I only hope his qualifier game doesn't go like our previous mananger's qualifier, where we lost 5-0 to some no-name team from Russia or something.

Really, though, I hope we get to the Champions League, come third in the group and drop down to Europa League as we'd have a realistic chance of winning that.

I rememeber when Celtic got to the UEFA Cup final in 2003, I was crying after they lost.

A lot of guys who play for Adelaide United went to my high school, so I'd be pretty stupid to not support them! I follow Hearts too, in Scotland? I know one of their players, so I try to watch the matches when I'm at my dads.

Yeah, Hearts are okay.

Probably the 3rd or 4th best club in Scotland, but they're not half as good as Celtic or Rangers, because it's always either Celtic or Rangers that win the league.

Yeah, I know, but I think I'd be disowned as alumni if I failed to support Hearts and Ryan McGowan...

Do you know if Hearts are still in the Europa League qualifiers.

I hope Celtic win tomorrow night against Dynamo Moscow, it's annoying because it isn't on TV in the UK or Ireland so I'll have to try and watch it online illegally.

Yeah, they play Dundee United next month. Problem is, we don't get it here in Australia, so I've been relying on streaming games, news broadcasts and the rain delays at the Ashes... :D

They lost 1-0. Stupid Samaras missed sitter with 5 minutes to go, headed it right into the keepers hands.

Oh well, theres always the second leg.

Had to watch the game online, illegally.

Damn man... I feel for you.
Right now I can't watch any of the matches... My laptop's in for servicing :(
I've missed everything! I'm having to either use my phone for updates or the uni computers (which is what I'm doing now *waves* "Hi UniSA!!!") and both are pretty sh*t...
