Congrats to the Danish ! Even though we had a gazillion of chances, we lost against the Danes who had one (1) serious shot on goal and it was the winner.

Man, this is just strategy, the other opponents in this group ( who didn't impress all too much either tonight) will think we're easy target....we just practiced...


Seriously, our defense is weak, the midfield players seemed to hide when the defense wanted to forward the play, only when the attack had the ball there was danger for the Danes.

O well, now they know what they have to do.....beat the Germans AND the Portugese.... Would love to see Denmark and us move to the next round ;););)

Actually its "Association football"...

Association football, more commonly known as football or soccer, is a sport played between two teams of eleven players with a spherical ball.

From wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Association_football

Still dont give a #$&^ about it  ;D :D

Still don't give a shit about Wikipedia writers.
Who comes up with this nonsense. What we play now is Football for 5.85 of the 6 billion citizens of the earth. We don't give a shit about white Americans and Aussies' thoughts (black and cream Americans use Football as well for Football).

indeed, this shows the weak spot of Wilipedia.

Here is another funny one:
Football refers to any of several similar team sports of similar origins that involve advancing a ball into a goal area in an attempt to score. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Football_(disambiguation) )

Mmmmmmm, now what is missing in that definition....yup by FOOT.

The funny thing is that the name "soccer" originates from England, so whoever blames the Americans for that term is wrong. Also, there are quite a few types of football, most originating from England as well - like rugby football (yes, that actually is the official name) and Gaelic football.
And (IMHO) the usual claim that only association football lives up to the name is nonsense too, because players quite often use their heads as well (so therefore it should be called foot- and headball really  :)).

But lets put the etymology aside before we move too far from the subject  ;D
