I like the German team also. You are stubborn bubbles.  Cacau is brasilian.

maybe he naturalized.  Of course I want Brasil to win.  What do you think?
Why should I state the obvious?  ASK CACAU WHAT HE CONSIDERS HIMSELF TO BE?  HE WILL TELL YOU HE IS BRASILIAN ALL THE WAY..

BUT GERMANY PAYS HIM A LOT AND WHY NOT TO GET A GERMAN CITIZENSHIP?  They are the only ones whom treat their immigrants well.

IS THE BEST ONE IN THE EU ANYWAY!
if I were to get another citizenship, Germany would be my choice.

You are where you are born ....not your naturalization papers!  GEEEWiz!
But if we lose, I want Germany to win.

end of story!

Great minds always met with violent opposition, e.g. as when accounts get closed.

I wanted to congratulate any Irish catholics in the site for the Bloody Sunday recognition event that took place and after 12 years the English had the decency to admit that they f*&&ed up!

Now is time to get reparations and compensations to the family of the murdered innocent victims.  Time for England to cough up some hard cash to show that they are really "sorry" as the  pink-pancaked-flatted-face-no-neck Cameron so contrite said so.Clap

Yeap, and Chinese is the language most spoken in the world.

It may be the "most popular" in the world because 1 billion indians like it, but outside of the UK and it's ex colonies, there are about 5 billion that consider cricket a joke.

That is because cricket is for children.  Try introducing it in Brasil and it would be a joke. No one would waste its time in something so unimaginative, boring and lacking in action.

I rather play cards.LOL but hey! let the brits and the indians enjoy it.

Actually Indians are Brits and Brits are Indians.

One an Empire colonizes it, they cannot refute the colony as one of them.  That is the beauty of it.

France does not like to admit that Moroccans, Tunisians and other Africans are FRENCH by virtue of their invasion...LOLLOLLOLLOL

When is not having an interest in a sport considering it a joke? There's no real interest in the UK with American football, Ice Hockey or Baseball but no-one considers it a joke - there's just no interest in it.
 
NB Chinese is not a language - you mean Cantonese or Mandarin?

If you don't know best not to reply?
 
1) Most western countries would have an international team. Professionally you're limited to Australia, New Zealand, England - and South Africa (if you consider it Western).
 
2) Yes. The 50 over format is every 4 years (the first one was in 1975), the 20 over format every 2.
 
I would guess that the comments that state it is boring come from those who have never been to a game in their lives, true?

Cacau playing for Germany is nothing to do with Germany - it's to do with him playing in the german leagues, and therefore qualifying by living there (after 5 years). If a Spanish team had picked him up when he was 18, he'd be possibly playing for Spain.
 
He never has played in a competitive match for Brazil, nor is likely to hence has opted to play for Brazil....any other reason is b***....but good luck to him. There's a similar scenario in England where the Arsenal goalkeeper Almunia is eligible to play for England but he's had a couple of dismal seasons so that idea has been put to bed for now...
 
Cacau could also earn a lot more in the English/Spanish/Italian leagues but again is not good enough to play for the top teams...
