Fan CommentaryThis is a featured page

We're number one!What can you tell fellow fans about the game? About the Cup? About its champions, characters, charlatans, and chumps?

What is truly at stake in the event? As a world championship, it somehow seems to be a notch or two above anything else out there. Why is that?

In the past, the stars, extraordinary feats of skill, and shameful moments have often been hard to predict. Still, what do you think will stand out as this year’s big event unfolds?



We've all got opinions and favorites — the difference about this wiki is you get to commit yours to the site. Select (or add) a topic, then click the EasyEdit button on that page to contribute your thoughts.


How Bad Is the Commentary Where You Are?U.S. football fans are bemoaning the very sad presentation of the games by ESPN and ABC networks. They find it uninformed and infantilizing (the companies are, after all, owned by Disney). Have anything to add?


Dark Horses


The World Cup has never scared those away. Who will the dark horses be, and just how far will they bolt before they’re put down?


The Usual Suspects

Are you sick of the big few: Argentina, Germany, Brazil, Italy, England, France, Holland …? Are the Brazilians show ponies, or just soccer geniuses who would be falsely modest if they were anything less than supremely cocky, flashy, and on that winning podium so often you sometimes wish they’d just go away? Or do you?


Teammate Rivalries

Teammates in club play, foes on the fields of the World Cup.


Top Players

From the coveted Golden Ball and Golden Shoe trophies to the (smarmy?) FIFA Fair Play award, who do you think will capture top honors this year and why? Cast your nominations now!


Home Away From Home

From where the players eat and stay to where the fans congregate and bed down, share your info and tips for making World Cup the adventure of a lifetime.

Stuck at home screaming at the boob-tube? Tell us where you and your fellow fans congregate to catch all the action.


A Ball Is a Ball Is a Ball, Right?

The balls for the World Cup Final on July 9 in Berlin is a specially designed gold-colored one dubbed “Teamgeist Berlin.”The purists and superstitious among us shudder...


Speaking of Superstitions ...

Got a World Cup superstition, slogan, voodoo incantation, or oath to utter? You don't have to be a recognized shaman to make your power known.


Fantasy Football


FIFA has set up an official Fantasy Game site, in cooperation with McDonald’s. Cuss and discuss your team here.


O Captain! My Captain!

Who do you think are the exemplary captains of this World Cup, or of World Cups past? Why?

If FIFA is serious about sending home refs who suck, then they'd best pack the bags of that drongo who reffed the Australia-Japan game. Shouldn't have let him out for the second half.

New pet peeve: the asshole on ESPN, I think it's Shep Messing (who I used to boo back in Rochester when he played for the NY Cosmos), saying every five minutes, "He's got to do better than that."

First of all, Shep, you couldn't carry the jock of anybody on the field today, and secondly, all sports are exhibitions of almost constant failure, which is why we celebrate the successes so effusively.

It's like Steinbrenner "demanding" victory from the Yankees.
