blim Posted June 7, 2006 Report Share Posted June 7, 2006 World Cup!! When we went to Denmark a few years ago, World Cup was going on, and everyone was glued to the Games, hollering at the television. (AND the word "Hooligan" does NOT translate to a Danish word, the Danish Sportscasters just said "hooligan") Son is a Soccerhead and will be watching!Me? Bah, if you're picking Brazil, I'll pick Brazil Liz Quote Link to post Share on other sites

robroy Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 don't really like either but will pick ItalyDo love soccer and real football (rugby football). No padding, the same players play the whole game, therefore they need to be fitter. Marty will know what I'm talking about, the All Blacks are a prime example Quote Link to post Share on other sites

blim Posted July 8, 2006 Report Share Posted July 8, 2006 Robroy, Son plays Soccer and of course, here in the States, Football is "king". Funny thing is what the Football players say about the Soccer players (well besides the quirks like having blue hair, etc...),"Those guys are NUTS! No helmet, no padding, defense and offense play at the same time, no breaks. No way, Football is sooo much easier!"Now, the Soccerheads think the Cross Country team are nuts WC sure has had a lot of upsets this year. Son's been going ballisticLiz Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bubba Bob Posted July 8, 2006 Report Share Posted July 8, 2006 Oh yeah, milk every foul for what it's worth. Maybe get someone carded, plus gives your team a short rest (and the others) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
blim Posted July 8, 2006 Report Share Posted July 8, 2006 "Background in theatre" is apparently right for this WC! I only watched one game this year, but I was appauled by the diving (falling down pretending you got hurt on a trip). Guess it was due to a US game where there were some "questionable cards" given for "rough play". Well, today in the newspaper there was an article about these professionals acting like primadonnas. Apparently, diving is the newest trend in Soccer. Disgusting and very poor sportsmanship! Besides, most of the "fun" according to Son, is getting "knocked around"....yes, I think he's taken too many headers.... Liz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
