No, Hipparchia, you’re thinking of the World Cup and that’s two years from now, this is just Europe.

Welcome back, CDDS, well, your side is up by one at the half, but maybe the Team will wake up for the second half.

It sounds like a good one, Steve – a lot of action even if there is little scoring. That goal is smaller than most people believe.

Alas the Oranje survived the Death Group unscathed only to be mauled by the Russians in overtime in the quarter finals. On to the World Cup.

“… real football, the version that requires you to use your feet, …”

And your balls. 😈

One certainly has to be a real athlete to play real football. It appeals to me as a spectator, much as hockey and basketball do, for the nearly continuous action.

After a long absence, we’re back… Glad to comment on soccer posts from Bryan.

On this one, I must go with Spain. Germany got lucky and they haven’t played that well. I also think that some of the refs gave Germany the benefit of doubt on some calls, while not doing the same with other teams, like the Turks (although both did deserve penalty kicks that weren’t called). Anyway, Spain all the way!!!!!!!
