Simon,
You're all provinces of Finland right?
You're a Danish-Norwegian ex-colony and descendends of Norwegian-French conquerors and settlers
So of course you will beat Brazil. Hat-trick for Owen!

Well I must say, I'd rather see the England (so they're England now, and not the UK?) win than the U.S.
Americans just do not care that much about the World Cup, and it would be a bit of a shame to see the cup won by the one country on earth that really doesn't give a crap about it. It would also not do wonders for America's popularity worldwide--jealousy would run rampant.

HMMM...don't tell that to the rabid soccer fans in every sports bar across the US.
I beleive soccer is finally getting its due. After the US GIRLS won against China anyway. That game kicked ass!

Lisa,
I think you're right, and I hope you're right.... If soccer/football ever gets really big over here it'll just be one more thing for us to be the best at

Yes, we're stuck together politics wise (UK / Great Britain) but when it comes to sport we figure entering 4 separate teams gives us a better chance - England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales (Ok, maybe Wales doesn't increase our chances much)
Of course England are the best at football, rugby etc ... which is why all the others hate us

I was thinking...when and where was the term "Soccer Mom" coined and why? The most correct answer w/the least BS gets a smurf....

n the US, soccer is like the gateway sport....get the kids hooked or running around trying to score w/a pelota and you have all kinds of potential athletes. In the US soccer is really a primer for many of our top athletes in many fields...good endurance test and judge of rowdiness scale......GOOOOOOOOOAAAALLLLLLLLL....
