    I find my information in British newspapers on the web.

    Here is the famous penis biting picture to go along with my post.

    Here is a story about a soccer player getting injured because the stadium wall collapsed. He broke his ankle so he will miss the remaining of the season.

    The blood and urine bombs happened in Germany a couple of years ago. The stadium section collapsed in Iran one year ago.

    Oh crap! The Argies AGAIN!!!! How come we always get drawn in the group of death? The favourites, the African number 1's, and Sweden, who we haven't beaten for 33 years!

    On the other hand, maybe the team will get fired up like before the Germany game.

    Argentina 1 England 5?

    I will never understand soccer, but some people love it.

    I don't understand your problems with soccer - after all, the examples you cite (urine bombs, penis biting) are at least entertaining. If you think soccer is boring, you've never witnessed a cricket match. Cricket is so boring that if you've ever seen a match, attending a JW District Assembly will seem like standing in the first row of a Sex Pistols concert in comparison.

    But then, Baseball is just an americanised (or, americaniZed) version of cricket, so you know what I mean.

    Fodeja:

    I'll forgive your slanderous attack on cricket because you're European.

    However, baseball has nothing to do with the sublime game of cricket. I had the misfortune to attend a baseball game a while ago. It was one of the dullest experiences of my life. And I do accounting, so I know dull.

    A guy throws a ball. Another guy swings a bat and misses. Then there's five minutes of guys standing around adjusting their caps while a demented organist attempts to whip up some enthusiasm in the lacklustre popcorn and pepsi stuffed crowd. Dull! And all the players are middle aged and have beer guts. It's just not cricket.

    fodeja,
    I confess, I could really care less. I don't hate soccer, but it is not very entertaining to me. Cricket and Baseball is the worst. Major League Baseball has 162 games in the regular season not to mention a five game playoff, a seven game playoff and the World Series' seven games. That is way too much of a boring game. I judge games boring if I always fall asleep watching the action on TV. Soccer, Baseball, and sometimes Basketball, I normally fall asleep watching. Here Soccer is as popular as Jehovah's Witnesses knocking on your door, as another poster said.

    You Know,

    Yet another wrong assumption on your part. We apostates are well aware of the pending collapse of the Argentinian economy. What would you like us to do about it, sit around wailing and moaning?

    Not only do we know about their economy, we also know how the financial world has been isolated Argentina for months as they foresaw this day coming. Unlike the crises in 1997 and 1998 (which the financial world seems to have survived anyway, funny enough), if Argentina collapses, the economic damage will be more limited.

    Meanwhile, you have a bunch of responses to catch up on at:
