I went to St Thomas when I was 4 (I had relatives living in Puerto Rico). I doubt anyone will remember me. :laugh:

They used to be called the Virgin Islands -- then Zepphead visited! :drink:

   :blush:   Sorry about that. Nova Carmina was a bit too excited about tomorrow's Costa Rica-Japan match.

Courtois does have a weakness. Morocco deserve it so far - Belgians under Martinez look great on paper, but unfortunately the paper is dated 2018.

What's the World Cup record for fastest goal?

Instinct tells me it was Bryan Robson for England in 1982 after 27 seconds, but the facts might say otherwise.

Yeah, against France. I remember it well. But then of course I remember the entire tournament very well, for good reason.  :rr:

I looked it up and it was 2002, Turkey against S Korea at eleven seconds!  There were ten goals listed under the 1-minute mark

Canada have a big problem. I don`t remember anyone coming back against Croatia from 2-1 down as they can never get the ball for long enough. Modric is like a snake charmer, he just seems to bend the game to his will.

Oh, yeah. The third-place match. I was recording the whole tournament, and I remember falling asleep before the game and waking up right after Turkey scored. I turned on the VCR late, so I ended up not getting the complete World Cup on my VHS tapes.  :banghead:

And to think, everyone says he is terrible. His international record is 1 in 2, which is pretty good considering his teammates have no idea what to do with a striker.

If a chance comes along to remove Germany from the tournament, you have to seize it Spain! Seize it! Admittedly it wouldn`t quite eliminate them tonight. But we can all dream.

Spain can still do it. They can lose to Japan, but only if Germany is putting up a crooked number on Costa Rica. :firedevil: But not too crooked.

One good thing about Germany`s chaotic style is it should prevent Spain from turning the stadium into one giant yawn factory, with their "passing", "possession" and "movement".

I actually love watching that Tiqui-Taca shit, lol
