WT*! The Tartan TERRIERS?!?! In all my years I've never heard that before. Nonsense - we have no nickname AFAIK, only our most famous fans have, the tartan army.TwoTankAmin wrote:See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_na ... y_nickname
The 2014 cup will be in Brazil (or Brasil) You may have heard it will be in 'America' but the USA is only a small part of America. A lovely part though and with new soccer fansI guess the U.S. team just didn't have it in them this trip .They are just puppys in this sport.
I understand that the next cup will be held in the USA .It should be a real trip .I don't know what it cost to get into a game over in africa but you can bet it will cost an arm and a leg over here.
I think he meant the sport is still in its infancy compared to Europe and SA.Some on the US are young pups, but a few are quite a bit older, like on the European teams.
Did anyone see that nice bum-save by the Germans? The Cheeks of God.I guess the U.S. team just didn't have it in them this trip .They are just puppys in this sport.
You guys got Seguin!! Better pick than my hometown boy, Hall. He's tougher in the mind I think. And they're saying that he'll have an easier time in Boston because the sport isn't so all-consuming since you have other professional teams. Three months till the puck dropsAlthough the young'uns in our family are crazy for hockey-the most expensive sport on the planet to play.
What I would have liked to have seen is Lampards goal have counted (and also, the Mexicans had also a very bad (non) decision just hours later that materially affected the game). What would have happended in the second half after 2-2 would have told us more about both teams and more about both managers. I actually feel sorry for that. In my view they should be looking at the FA, maybe the manager and players but now they can all hide behind the lack of technology and terrible referees.Borbi wrote:I take it this is what you wanted to see, Jools?
Was that manipulation with their new radio controlled ball? That said, I really do think FIFA chief Blatter sits in a big old swivelling black leather armchair watching his football with a fat white cat perched to one side.sidguppy wrote:still i strongly believe in manipulation and corruption on the FIFA-side of things, but then again; I'm not nearly as nice or even tempered as you, Jools
my bad!If that had happened to Scotland, I'd be looking for a new TV (and front window)
Where do you live? The puck is still dropping here and house leagues go all summer. Try getting an excited 7 or 9 year old in all that stuff in 90 degree weather, when my brother is trying to choke down dinner. They bounce around like Tigger. I'm so glad they get excited to play, still. Summer camp starts next week. Phew!L number Banana wrote:

Good, that's been my real concern all along. I am no longer mystified. The world would love to see some different teams there, love my team but I never seen Scotland play. I've only seen two Irish games ever too. Do the Russians have good football? Where's India and Pakistan? Unfortunately, unless you subscribe to a soccer only channel, you almost never seen anyone other than the current big guns.Even mellow old me was screaming at the TV yesterday and I'm not even really an England fan. If that had happened to Scotland, I'd be looking for a new TV (and front window). Sometimes I do a litte more than raise an eyebrow and cough on my beer a little.
