Is anyone going to the World Chapionships Soccer next year?

I'm trying to get tickets for Holland - Argentinia on June 21 in Frankfurt. Closing date for tickets is Jan 15. So I still have some time left to wait.

If not then I'm going with some fellow-supporters from Fc Den Bosch(the local FC in the capital city of Brabant ).
W're gona make a party in the city where Holland plays one of his first-roundmatches.

I got 4 tickets for the match PORTUGAL-ANGOLA. i entered the 1st draw were you didn't know the actual matches. i just picked the venues near the Dutch border, and i got 4 tickets to this match in Cologne.

Portugal is not my favorite team, but at least its something,considering it could also have been ANGOLA-IRAN during the draw, and that only 80.000 tickets were allocated while there were over 20mln applications!

I heard the fifa are going to start up a trade-forum, so i hope i can still trade my tickes for a Holland-match!

I'll stay at home and watch the matches in the local pub.

Let's see...How many US soccer players can I name.

Mia Hamm, Brandi Chastain. That's it. Nothing like hot girls running around in shorts trying to beat the hell out of each other.

Just saw the match of Holland in the 1/8 finales, what a TOTAL disappointment.

'Both teams finished the game with nine men after a game which equalled the World Cup record for bookings - 16 - and broke the record for red cards.

Deco and Costinha were dismissed for Portugal, while Khalid Boulahrouz and Gio van Bronkhorst saw red for Holland.

Russian referee Valentin Ivanov set the tone for his performance by booking players from the start for late tackles that he could have given free-kicks for.

Costinha was the first to go, his first offence a sliding foul on Philip Cocu and his second a blatant handball, leaving Ivanov with little choice.

Portugal should have been reduced to nine when Figo was only booked for headbutting Van Bommel, who took his time before falling to the floor.

Soon after Figo was at it again. This time it was his turn to fake serious injury as he tangled with Boulahrouz, who was handed a second booking and dismissed.

There was more action in the referee's notebook than on the pitch.

Deco was booked for a flying foul on Johnny Heitinga and he was off soon after, shown a second yellow for refusing to hand the ball back to Holland as Ivanov continued to throw cards around like confetti.

Their miserable evening was compounded in the fourth minute of stoppage time when Van Bronckhorst was shown a second yellow for a minor foul.


Sent Off: Costinha (45), Deco (78).

Booked: Maniche, Costinha, Petit, Figo, Deco, Ricardo, Nuno Valente.

Sent Off: Boulahrouz (63), Van Bronckhorst (90).

Booked: Van Bommel, Boulahrouz, Van Bronckhorst, Sneijder, Van der Vaart.

I'm assuming "sent off" means they are ejected from the game.

But what does getting "booked" mean?
