Let us talk about the opening ceremony match first. The first match is between the host, Germany, against Costa Rica. Germany is certainly&nbsp;on the upperhand in strength and players.&nbsp;However being the host country, Germany faced immense pressure. Remember the previous World Cup's opening match? France lost to Senegal. History may repeat itself but I still think Germany's chances of winning is high. The&nbsp;gap in&nbsp;strength between the two teams are wide. Anything may happen in soccer matches, so let us wait and see this exciting opening ceremony match.

Hoho~~, actually i know nothing about it,but i know a little after reading ur essay, thank u ,it seems that you are taking close look at the World Cup 2006, let's clear our eyes,and let's wait and see......[em10][em10][em10][em10][em10][em10]

<p>Dear Rita,</p><p>It is totally ok for not knowing about soccer. I can see that you are willing to understand soccer and&nbsp;dicuss with us about it.&nbsp;There is a way for you to&nbsp;comprehend and care about soccer. Organizing a betting activity is a good way spur&nbsp;everybody's interest&nbsp;for&nbsp;soccer. When someone has something to win and worry about, that person will most probably take the activity seriously and care about the result. </p><p>Therefore, I suggest that you can give the participants in this activity some gold or&nbsp;money to bet for the teams that they think will win. From betting, they will care about the matches as they have somthing to fight for. Just like my mother, she does not know soccer at all, but whenever she bets, she&nbsp;will seem very concerned and excited about.</p><p>I think this idea will work. The benefits are not only making people interested, but also will get more people&nbsp;to participate in this forum.</p><p>I hope you can accept this idea and let our forum be a lively one.</p>
