OK, I have a feeling that anything I would say here would piss off a) cricket enthusiasts b) soccer afficianados c) fans of baseball in general and teams that are not the Red Sox in particular. I think I'll must mosey on back to the music forum...

And some folks even see the bear in me

You got that right. www.cubs.com is already advertising the on-sale date for playoff tickets, Houston is mathematically eliminated (but, to be fair, this probably happened about a month ago and I just wasn't paying attention), and you feel the need to rain on my parade, knowing darned well that it'll all end in a couple of weeks anyhow, with another truly spectacular example of the Cubbies snatching defeat from the jaws of victory? THBBBBBPT to you, I say!  ~s |

Not pissed off in the least mate, I'd love to think I was responsible for a new term of abuse. And anyway I know you are secretly fascinated by the game anyway  |

Germany and the US advance. USA will face the winner of the Brazil / Australia match. Germany will play either Norway or China.

I am PISSED OFF MIGHTILY.
This weekend's sport on (free)TV:
- Rugby League finals
- Aussie Rules finals
- Rugby World Cup
- 20/20 Cricket
No Women's World Cup Soccer! And it's not even on Pay TV with their 12 gazillion sport channels! WTF!?!?!?
Shame on you Australia, shame on you!
O!

Well played indeed! I think England has a very bright future with the women's game. Kelly Smith is an elite player to build a team around. The rest of the team played with a lot of confidence and I think this game could have been much closer if it weren't for the set pieces where the US is very dangerous. You can't give up 10+ corner kicks to them without cost. That's my 2 cents worth. |

I think you are right, we didn't go into the finals with any expectations, and to compete, get out of the group stage, and go out in a fairly close game with the favourites was pretty good.
The other positive thing for the women's game in the uk is the amount of coverage there has been. Highlights of all the games (albeit late at night) on BBC2 and the england matches shown live. Looking good for the european championships in 2 years

(backtracking) And didn't they go! What an amazing header! A shame about the final result, but they can leave with their heads held high IMO. Oh, and well done Germany for just right now. O! |

Wow, can I take SkySports home with me?
I've been in Ascot all week for meetings, the Telly only has 11 channels but three of them are SkySports.
Did you know they play a LOT of football over here.
Got to see Fernando Torres (Liverpool's new striker) score a hat trick on Reading yesterday.
They seem to play a lot of cricket as well.
Oh, and for the first time in my life, I've been to a pub with no NASCAR beers on the tap handles.
The weather has even been fairly nice.
