Sports speak is beyond me...and thanks, my dad is doing okay, thus far...although he sounded quite excited when I talked to him on the phone last night! He's planning on staying awake until 4AM to catch the next game!! This is a big deal, since he's usually fast asleep by 9PM.<BR/><BR/>EM: Ha Ha....yeah, Bend it Like Beckham is a good one. I have since found out that Brazil IS the team to beat!<BR/><BR/>David: I agree with Furtheron. No offence to you Americans, but you tend to get excited by the stuff your the best at...given that soccer domination is not yours, I'm not surprised that there's not much interest....<BR/><BR/>Hattigrace: Fortunately, I'm not really loyal to any team, (well except Korea...it's in my blood!) so it really is a toss of the dice in this case!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15348405.post-1150273910634316362006-06-14T04:31:00.000-04:002006-06-14T04:31:00.000-04:00I hope your Dad is okay after S Korea's first Worl...I hope your Dad is okay after S Korea's first World Cup victory on foreign soil.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15348405.post-1150183962857264532006-06-13T03:32:00.000-04:002006-06-13T03:32:00.000-04:00I think the fact that the USA got beat 3-0 by the ...I think the fact that the USA got beat 3-0 by the Czech Republic maybe one reason the USA doesn't get "into it" :-)<BR/><BR/>I've a friend here in UK who is Czech - she was really excited last night. She lives in a flat above a load of Russians - so had consider it prudent to leave the huge Czech flag inside her flat over her sofa rather than hang it out the window and start WWIII!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15348405.post-1150170917777950722006-06-12T23:55:00.000-04:002006-06-12T23:55:00.000-04:00Life is a crap shoot, ultimately.

I mean, dont get me wrong, we have a few soccer enthusiasts around here (my friend Madelaine being one of them) but I dont understand why this country doesnt get all into it...hmmmm.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15348405.post-1150127641961852692006-06-12T11:54:00.000-04:002006-06-12T11:54:00.000-04:00Shaun woke up at 5:30 on Sat morning to catch the ...Shaun woke up at 5:30 on Sat morning to catch the first England game. I had a nice long snooze in the king sized bed all to myself - WOOHOO!!!!<BR/><BR/>I know what you mean about the energy...we were on Commerical Drive in Vancouver on Sunday during the Mexico/Iran game and there were flags flying, people screaming...it was awesome.<BR/><BR/>And the only thing I know about soccer is Bend it like Beckham!!

Well it's a game of two halves, the lads done good, at the end of the day..... etc. etc. The English game is so full of cliched expressions it's unbelievable.<BR/><BR/>My wife went out on Sat afternoon when the England Paraquay game was on. She'd never known it so quiet - she drove across town in about 10 mins - normally only poissible at 3am normally on a Sat would take you anything up to an hour.<BR/><BR/>England is awash with St. George's flags, houses, clubs, pubs, cars..... About half the country has bought an England team shirt in the last week I think. Sad that we only get this passionate about our country at these times I feel.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15348405.post-1149923720517286382006-06-10T03:15:00.000-04:002006-06-10T03:15:00.000-04:00World Cup fever has gripped us all.
