Country:  | The Croatian team should have all been sent off. I could not believe how much they were fouling,  ing. Australia should have been given that game as a victory, and Croatia should be banned from football... until I finish my cup of tea.

Country: | Yeah they were fouling almost every tackle (there was even a rugby tackle in the box that went unpunished) and using there hands all over the place as well...
Brazil actually turned up in the game against Japan that they won 4-1...

It is very entertaining to watch, it requires skill, great endurance, and passion to play the game. It is way more exciting than baseball where a ball gets thrown every 1 minute. So please until your feeble mind understands the game dont knock it, especially in a thread dedicated to the World Cup.

Country:  | The unique thing on football is that you need just a ball, nothing else. That's why it is so popular round the World. | |

Country: | That is deffinatly part of it. Another thing that makes it so great is the fact that you go anywhere and enjoy it anywhere because the whole world likes it except for couch potatoes who drink budweiser and dont like things that they just can not understand.

Deradler, I hold the record for fastest goal scored on my team (we were in an industrial league made up of a lot of the big aerospace firms in the South Bay area of Los Angeles. Many players were expats from Europe and S America). It only took me 20 seconds to score after opening time. We were also down 2 men at the time PLUS we were playing a Mexican team.

| We were nine men at start because we only had nine men show up at the start.
Playing on a Sunday morning at sometimes means the "partiers" were going to have a tough time getting to the match.
