Semi Final Previews

Quarterfinals went much like I expected, except Laos beat Germany. In any case, that game was very good, and it was always going to come down to whoever could get the last good chance on goal.

Ireland vs. France- France didn't look as good as they've looked throughout the group stage. Against Laos, they looked phenomenal. I would have taken France if you'd said they were playing Ireland after the Laos game. However, after the Norway game, I'm not sure if France can do it. They'll need to be perfect to beat a strong Ireland team. France matches up well with Ireland, but not well enough. Ireland should win, 3-1.

Laos vs. Canada- Laos is coming off a tough win against a good Germany team. Canada is finally coming together, and will not be an easy victory for Laos either. I see Laos looking past Canada to Ireland, and not quite showing up for the semi-final. Laos is favored, but I think Canada can pull off the upset. Canada 4-3.

Canada should have never made it this far. They are full of lazy fat drinking slobs. Good job Laos. I was waiting for this. Fance will beat them in the Bronze medal forsure.

Whoever posted the "very mature" comments at the top--Must have been beaten by Canada early in the tournament, or is very sour for not making it as far as they did--I am proud to say that I play on N.Ireland and Canada has proved that they deserve to be in the Semi's last night--as they did make it that far and you did not--say what you want about them--but hat goes off to them for making it further then you--Ha Ha

Yeah, Laos was the better team. They beat us, we're not complaining about it. Fat? Agreed. We definitely have some heavy weights out there. Lazy? Yea man, for sure. I'm one of the laziest guys on the field, start to finish. Drunks? You're on fire bud, because we definitely drank more than any other team out there. Cocky? Are we better than Laos? Nope. Are we better than ROI? Nope. Are we better than France? Probably not. But even if we lose tonight that means we finish 4th. 4 out of 23 ... Is that good? Sorry, we cant all finish 23rd. But that said, this is the last time I plan on finishing top 4. You have no idea how much of a hassle it is playing this late in the tournament. I cant wait to just relax with a beer in my hand and watch the final tomorrow with the rest of you.

Anyways, for those of you out there who are fat, lazy, brutal, and like winning, we're always open to adding a few players for next year.

That latest comment - I think you belong on a rugby or North American football team - or try wrestling. Soccer is a physical game and you have to be aggressive, but if you're going out to purposefully be brutal there's no place for you on a soccer pitch.
