    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, 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.

    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 )
