Poll question: World Cup Winner: Spain or Holland?
Edited on Fri Jul-09-10 03:29 PM by AsahinaKimi
Just curious who you are picking, (Despite what that crazy Octopus picked..) I know some of you won't watch, or even care, however for those who will, who do you think seriously will win the world cup?

Spain



Netherlands

6. Which team did that crazy octopus pick?
Not that I would let a mollusc influence my choice.

16. The Octopus "paul" picked Spain
Stange name for an Octopus. I thought Paul was the Walrus.

9. I can't tell. It's too hard to say at this point. I notice the teams all
seem to go up and down. A real good win, then a real bad loss. Or vice versa. So there may be some upsets here.

15. I voted Netherlands ... the octopus has been right so far, but I am
still supporting Netherlands regardless of the octopus' pick.

Would be nail biting to see who wins third place ... hoping Uruguay will win but the Germans are good, so they will win third place.

18. I know close to nothing about soccer but I picked Spain.
Watching them in the last game, I thought they had it all together and they looked pretty tough.

I don't dislike Holland, tho. Just choosing for my own subjective reasons...

20. Spain
Best passing game, best ball control, momentum, European Championship players, everything.

They're going to feast on Dutch treats.

23. Why do they all have their hands on each other's knees?
Some kind of soccer thing?

It's very sweet.

29. NOT being sarcastic, just PLAYFUL: What do I *look* like---Paul the Octopus?!1
Edited on Mon Jul-12-10 12:46 PM by UTUSN
That being said, I will go bonkers in a good way when either the U.S. or Mexico takes it. But at my age, um, let me count up how many Cups I might have left to see!1
