Only UK people to know about lacrosse are those of us who have watched American Pie I'd wager.

when I was at school our local area had a schools lacross league, and we had some decent players . . .

I actually thought Lacross was reasonably well known

Sweden - Denmark 2-2, both teams through to the quarterfinals!

Nordic victory, bye bye Italy!

[Malavon]

The Italy - Bulgaria game was horribly boring.. both teams were making so many stupid mistakes with their passing. I got so bored I went and watched Bollywood.. which was also pretty boring, but hey.

I didn't get to see any of the Sweden - Denmark game though, damn bastards on channels 1-4 were showing the Italy - Bulgaria one instead. I bet the Sweden game would have been much more interesting to watch

Well England vs the hosts should be a great match... Early predictions?
and if England cary on playing the way we are now we have a great chance to win... Go Roony

England didn't deserve to win that match tbh, Portugal were by far the better team I thought. What did you think about the goal being disallowed though? Should it have been, or did England foul Portugal?

[Harky]

It should have been allowed in my opinion, not that I really wanted england to win for any specific reason, I just see no viable reason for disallowing it. The ref's reaction in the aftermath of the decision he made after having time to reflect upon it speaks volumes.

and damn that swedish refree

What part of him is swedish? Thought he was from switzerland...

[Deval]

His ankles. Duh.

I decided to give up watching soccer. Our female team can probably beat our male team by now, and not even getting in the quarter finals really ticked me off. I wonder what happened, we used to have really good soccer players years back and now they are all overpaid wusses. Maybe we should have sent the women to play in their place, might have had a chance.

In case anyone wonders, I am talking about the german team... *grumbles something rude about those guys*

Oh well close enough...

Well, soccer, futbol, whatever..is known fairly well over here in the U.S. actually. Just that we're not in contact with all of the overseas stuff. Many of my friends and coaches get extended cable to watch the tournament matches and such, we don't have that so I've got no idea what this is about.

Anyway, soccer, for us, is really common. It isn't the main sport in most places, but I think everywhere I've been has had a league for whatever age I was...and it is a highschool sport for most schools.


As a note- there is an american football league in Europe, they play baseball hardcore in central america and in Japan...basketball, I think they play a few places overseas.
I only like basketball and soccer when playing really. Football is pretty boring, they make it look like it hurts or something, b.s. there are way too many pads in that dumbass game. Baseball...I'm not even going to start....ba



Anyway, we still kicked the crap out of Portugal in the World Cup ;p (and don't give me that 'fluke' stuff, we all know the US team sucks so don't try to start, besides, we're closer to Brazil and they own everyone else enough for that to make up for us anyway)

[Malavon]

lol, I reckon Portugal would own America now

Well... France are now out (knocked out by Greece.) My moneys on Portugal.

Rugby is pretty much the same as american football but no padding, just shin guards and a mouth piece and is a rough tough game

[Chewbob]

I think the Czechs are gonna win.
