Just like me. I rarely watch a normal league game but I never miss (work permitting) matches of the World Cup or European Cup, they are something else.

HMMMM, I have a sweet idea....

just lost all respect for coolermaster and this place , sorry but i am not a fan and getting tired of all the football hype and it has only just started

HammerON · Jun 11, 2010

Wow man - sorry to hear that; however that being said I think it is a great idea!!!
I hardly ever watch soccer (sorry ~ football). This is one of those few occasions when I will, as will most of the world. And seeing that TPU is a "global" forum re-enforces this.

InnocentCriminal · Jun 11, 2010

*Sigh*

Such sweet prizes, good luck to all that enter but Football isn't what it used to be.

1Kurgan1 · Jun 11, 2010

I'll wait for the Super Bowl...

demonbrawn · Jun 11, 2010

Apparently, as I saw on kentuckysportsradio.com, the UK and US embassies are holding a wager that the loser buys the other a meal. That's kind of a lame wager, but the Brits roasted the US with their closing comments, “The Ambassador takes his steak like American soccer victories - somewhat rare.” BOOM! Lol. I'll be cheering for USA, but that's still really funny.

cauby · Jun 11, 2010

I'd create a case in the form of a vuvuzela,but then I'm lazy...
Oh,and I'll be cheering for Brazil!

Go live in the U.S. then, since apparently not even CNN has heard that there's a World Cup going on.

On a personal note: I wish soccer was more prevalent in the U.S. instead of the distant 6th place it is now. :eek:

That's ridiculous. Im not a fan either but this is an awesome idea.

Get it on!!

zAAm · Jun 11, 2010

I'm seeing soccer ball (football) cases in my mind already... need... more... diversity... and... creativity...

Haha, I'll be "cheering" for South Africa - in other words it'd be great if we didn't lose EVERY game, although I'm not expecting much - hard to compete with the top 32 teams while being 83rd in the world

Not a football fan though... I'd be more impressed if we could successfully host the event.

WhiteLotus · Jun 12, 2010

Gotta hand it to them though, TPU is sure getting some good competitions going.

and i bet you get mad at everything else thats hyped worldwide like 24hrs of lemans, the super bowl, the world series of baseball, basketball and all other sports related things :wtf:

get a grip dude if you lost respect go join [H] you'll fit in there. i mean how dare people give things away to support their favorite team how dare people have hobbies outside of computers.

thanks for the contest w1z to bad some people have to see the bad in things maybe instead of prizes we should go hug a tree or clean a rock down in the gulf or something.
