(stogie bear @ Jun. 06 2006,03:09) England make the final four.
Netherlands win it.
Australia lose every game.

In sports betting in Germany, Australia has now been backed into 5th most popular side to make final 8.German, English and American professional sports punters have backed Australia to win 1 game, draw2 and lose one. The total invested on Australia from these full time punters so far exceeds $7 million australian dollars. In sports betting, wheres theres smoke theres usualy fire.

Something not right here  

What u need to know Beef. Australia with 1 win,2 draws will more then likely make the 2nd round.

Hi guys,

I was away for a while but this is a good thread.

I put my money on Germany (the host) or Argentina, with names like Riquelme, Missi, Aimar, Crespo and Teves they can't go wrong!

Italy also migh have a strong chance...

Regards

Argentina had great odds at 7-1 to win

Henry 14-1 to be top scorer

Brazil have odds of 20-1 for Them to win it and Ronaldo to be top scorer....

Here we go! Sounds pretty close to my bet, Stogie:
Last 4: England, Brazil, Germany, NL

The Dutch will make it!

Good morning Football lovers. Australia has just beat Lichenstein ( I think I fucked the spelling , sorry ) 3-1. Australia was very scrappy but are looking ok for Monday against the Japenese. ( Don't mention the war )
Go the Soccoroos and good luck for your own teams who ever you may support.

Ahead of World Cup, U.S. Warns Germany About Sex Trafficking
By HELENE COOPER

WASHINGTON, June 5 €” On the eve of the World Cup in Germany, the State Department's big concern is not over whether the American soccer team has a prayer of getting past the Czech Republic and Italy, but rather over the flood of prostitutes expected into Germany from Eastern Europe, Asia and Africa.

The United States, in its annual report on forced labor and trafficking in persons, called Germany, which has legalized prostitution, "a source, transit and destination country" for sex workers, the more so during the soccer tournament.

"Due to the sheer size of the event, the potential for human trafficking surrounding the games remains a concern," the State Department said in its report. It called on the German government to increase police enforcement during the games.

The warning to Germany was a rare slap at a close American ally.

The report did not include Germany in a list of 14 more serious offenders that the State Department says make little effort to control serious problems with trafficking in persons.

Some groups criticized the report, noting that most of the countries cited as the worst offenders €” which can lead to economic sanctions €” are not American allies. They include Iran, North Korea, Myanmar, Sudan, Venezuela, Syria, Cuba and Zimbabwe. The only countries on the list that are close American allies are Saudi Arabia and Belize.

India, Mexico and China were on a separate "watch list" for the second year, prompting complaints that the State Department was trying not to alienate them.

"What we want is for the United States to implement this law without any political considerations at play," said Jessica Neuwirth, president of Equality Now, an international women's rights organization.

In 2000, Congress passed the Trafficking Victim Protection Act, which set out new penalties for slave traffickers and required the State Department to publish an annual report on slave trafficking worldwide. The sanctions are subject to the president's discretion.

Germany legalized prostitution in 2002, and German brothels have been gearing up for the confluence of legal sex and the World Cup, which is expected to bring 3.5 million tourists to the country for the monthlong tournament, which begins Friday. Berlin, Cologne and Hamburg have all expanded their red light districts for the tournament, and sex-trade entrepreneurs have opened mobile brothels.

The American World Cup team is staying in walking distance from Hamburg's red light district, known in Germany as the Sinful Mile.

German officials, while defending the country's policy of legalized prostitution, say they nonetheless do not condone human trafficking, and have intensified efforts to rein in the flow of prostitutes into their country in advance of the World Cup. But Rep. Christopher Smith of New Jersey, the chairman of the House subcommittee on global human rights, said that Chancellor Angela Merkel needed to do more.

"It's within her power to initiate some moves to protect these women," he said.

The fight against human trafficking is "a great moral calling of our time," Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said Monday.

The report says that between 600,000 and 800,000 people, most of them women and children, are trafficked across international borders every year. It cited Saudi Arabia, which it said "does not fully comply with the minimum standards for the elimination of trafficking and is not making significant efforts to do so." In Uzbekistan, the report said, "the majority of convicted traffickers received prison sentences of less than 10 years, were granted amnesty, and thus served no time in prison."

Countries that fail to crack down can be subject to a variety of economic and security sanctions. Since 2003, when the sanctions provision took effect, only two countries €” Venezuela and Equatorial Guinea €” have been cited.

Have fun guys!!


I'd love to see tue US sanction us for the legalization of prostitution in our country. That would be an even better laugh than the impressive invasion of Grenada!

[stogie bear]

Fuck the stupic American government. These Victorian assholes would ban chewing gum if they could!

Stogie,  

I think the  finale would be: Netherland - England 3:1

Under the finale four would be: Argentinia and Brazil - and maybe for one of this teams Germany.

About their scandal would be Italy going home early, and the players of France to old now.  

Maybe some successful surprise can happen with the teams of Ibory Coast and Ukraine.

Stoogie

Are you still taking bets on Australia not winning a game?

How about If they win you shout me a barfine in Obsessions?

If they lose all, either I shout you one or a free dinner at Momas. You decide.
