Sadly Serbia just made a goal so your boys will have to run a bit harder.........
But they are by far the nicest team to look at at the beginning of each match! The way the hold each others shoulder with the left hand, holding the right hand to their hearts and singing the national anthem - it just gives me the goosebumps ever time

will keep my fingers crossed
Granny

Granny, you will quickly find out that soccer is not a big sport in hte USA. Just the way we are.

Soccer is getting bigger here. Most of the kids play around here now, where they didn't in the past. I didn't know anyone here who watched the game on tv until the last few years. I think its growing on us!

soccer, soccer - that's the sport where guys in shorts run around on a field kicking a ball, right? ;)

I don't follow the sport, but some of those guys sure are cute.

yeah....our speaker just said that you had the biggest number of viewer for a soccer game during the first match: 14 million. How many million americans are out there? :lol:

häääääääää, serbia just scored again

glad we dont have any timedifferenz to south africa - did you see the swiss team beating Spain!!!!???? :lol:

And your boys are playing against Slowenia not Serbia, sorry. Serbia just BEAT GERMANY!
And yes, there is a lot less clothing involved compared to football and at the end of the game they switch their shirts.....

DONOVAN JUST SCORED FOR YOUR TEAM

I DONT GIVE A ......... THAT NOBODY HERE CARES: BRADLEY SCORED AND YOUR TEAM IS EVEN!!!!!!!

No, but apparently the senior VP and a bunch of people are watching in a conference room - a whole lot of shouting went on and I had to go see what all the hubbub was about. The director of HR was in there, too, not looking too pleased, but he can't tell the VP what to do :roll:

(and I don't feel one bit guilty about being here right now on the board :-P :P )

Serbia beat Germany?

I am very sad! They are my number one team to root for :'(

lt was really a bloody shame: the referee stole your team the victory by annuling a regular goal!!
At least you won one point, but it would have been a sensation winning the match

There seems to be some shady refs this time around if you ask me!

How come? We are a direct neighbours to germany and there is some rivalry.............to put it nicely :lol:

Well, I actually live in the USA, but I have certain teams I am cheering on and Germany was my #1. It has been for the last 3 world cups!

Ireland didn't make the World Cup so I'm not really watching. My family and neighbours are though, and are delighted to see France losing as they're the ones who kept us out!

Sounds like you enjoyed the game!

We're very into the World Cup here. My husband is a big soccer nut and has played for many years. We're very upset with the recent bru-ha-ha of the bad call against the US.

Many Germans are so arrogant that they think the trophy should just be handed to the German team. It would be fun to watch a game where they lose. I'd have to cheer. lol

So you should have watched today serbia beating the german team...... I just loved it :oops:
We have a saying: soccer is a game where 22 men are running behind a ball and at the end the germans are winning!?

Our DGS got full scholarship to soccer in Iowa, amd is trying to get west to play this fall.

I LOVE DONAVON,,,,

nOT ALL THE FR\ERS ARE FROM THE COUNTRY THEY ARE REFRING. sOME ARE NEW AT REFFERING,

THEN THEY WONDER WHY FIGHTS BREAK OUT AMONG FAMS AND PLAYERS,

no, no problems at all. Besides a couple of people that dont even need a reason to fight.
It is just this nice content feeling of somebody getting what they deserve :oops:
