denoir 0 Posted June 26, 2004 I can't wait to the REAL football season starts! I'm just messing with you guys. I respect your athletes. Definitions: foot: Quote[/b] ]The lower extremity of the vertebrate leg that is in direct contact with the ground in standing or walking ball: Quote[/b] ]A spherical object or entity American "football" does not qualify on either of those definitions. It's not a ball as it isn't round and you're carrying it around, so the "foot" part isn't very relevant to that either. Â Quote[/b] ]P.S. Does America's soc cer team suck? America's football team? Yes, but not as badly as one could think. After the World Cup in LA in '94 the sport gained popularity. America is about on the same level as some Asian countries. Good enough to on occasion get to be in the World Cup, but not good enough to get very far. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shashman 0 Posted June 26, 2004 Still good enough to draw 1-1 with Italy   *Ashamed*  I think what made "s0ccer" more popular in the States was the woman's side and their success in (IIRC) the last woman's World Cup. ROFL! It censored s.occer    Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Badgerboy 0 Posted June 26, 2004 Sweden vs Netherlands should be good. Don't know who to support though, I like 'em both! Suppose I'll just enjoy the game! With all the favourites now out, its anyones championship. Its all been a bit crazy this year! (I'm still pissed off Wales didn't get through thanks to the drug using Russians. Thanks for ignoring your own rules EUFA! Bastards! ) (Oh and American 'Football' is rugby for poofs! Our blokes don't wear half a ton of padding! Shirt and shorts, thats all you need! ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Munk 0 Posted June 26, 2004 Because they like stealing our words then making it seem like they belong to the US. Heh, you just reminded me of an interesting 'conversation' I had with some 13 year old yank who didnt like the fact Im a Brit. Tonights prediction: Sweden 0 - 2 Netherlands Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SpeedyDonkey 0 Posted June 26, 2004 Tonight’s prediction: It's going to be really hard for us. The Dutch team has some grate players, as well as an offensive type of strategy, which I don’t think suits the Swedes at all. Still I think we have a small chance to beat them, with a little bit of luck from Larsson and a little bit of magic from Zlatan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don’t know where to get the wolves, and certainly not how to make them dance but I’m gonna do it!

denoir 0 Posted June 26, 2004 Hehe, nice one Sanctuary well, kudos to the French fans (at least here on the board) for gracefully accepting defeat without resorting to conspiracy theories and without blaming everybody else Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GoOB 0 Posted June 26, 2004 Hehe, nice one Sanctuary It was the damn Gyros the Greeks treated the French to before the match, gasses can really muck up your ability to handle a ball and to defend your part of the pitch properly!  As for tonights game, I don't know what to think really. Sweden has the potential to win. But taking into consideration the last match against Denmark, and our bad habit of losing when we have a chance to actually get a medal I think we are going to lose  EDIT: Proper sentences are your friends EDIT: Proper spelling is your friend!

But taking into consideration the last match against Denmark, and our bad habit of losing when we have a chance to actually get a medal I think we are going to lose  If I'm not mistaken we have only lost 1 quarterfinal in a major championship so that's not entirely true unless you were thinking about icehockey. My gut feeling is that we are gonna lose this game but I have to have faith. Sweden - Netherlands 3:2 13' van Nistelrooy 44' Ibrahimovic 48' Larsson 76' van Nistelrooy 92' Allbäck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
