Re: OT World Cup Offer
I simply can't stay away from this OT thread. As I write this the England and Swedish teams shake hands before their game starts. This is the first big moment in the World Cup for these two countries. Very quiet and peaceful outside this beautiful sunny day. England has not beaten Sweden in 30 years. The odd part is that the England team is managed by the Swede Svennis Eriksson, now trying to beat his own country and fellow fotballers. More than a thousand years ago the English fell victims to the Viking conquest. Let's see what they can do today. (Boy, is this a party for an ex-fotballer.) By the way, only twice did I shoot a football game. A lot of waiting for sudden actions that lead to nothing... Lot's of frames wasted, unless someone else pays for the film and developement...

> [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > You stole the name of a great sport called football (in wich you REALLY hit > > a BALL with your FOOT). I had thought the name football was applied originally to seperate the games between those, like hockey, that were traditionally played on horse back. Soccer(football) rules originally inluded handling of the ball, but not running with it. Later this rule was removed and a specialised player put in the goal who could handle the ball. Many football codes were shunned in the 1850-80s because it pulled people away from more military style sports such as archery etc. I imagine the game today bears little resemblance to its origin. Australia alas, shall not be there again. Football(Soccer) has not had as big an impact here in as in other countries. Such is life.

Re: OT World Cup Offer
If only that were true :/ Perhaps the other regions get 4 - 6 teams into the finals, but poor Oceana not only got only one qualifier, but that side ~then~ had to play off against South America's highest non-qualifier which was Argentina. So Argentina whips Maradona into shape, he boosts the side to victory over Australia, but soon after he is found to be (once again) full of "Bolivian Marching Powder" (a known stimulant and performance enhancing drug) and is (once again) booted out of the game. Me, bitter? No comment :/ Oceana has only twice AFAIK been represented in the World Cup, by Australia in '74 and New Zealand sometime after that. Every other time the rightful qualifying nation was eliminated by another region's second chance side. And every time this manipulation of the finals was nothing but a cynical ploy to get a bigger audience from a region where soccer is the number one game. Word Cup? Perhaps FIFA's Old Boys' Club Cup would be a better name. Fortunately FIFA has promised to end this manipulation of the finals. We will see.

Like a few million bucks to air a one-minute commercial during the Superbowl. Everything is so overhyped. Example: Emmitt Smith of the Dallas Cowboys writes a gung-ho letter to his teammates, something like a preseason pep talk, and it makes the front cover of the Sports section in my city paper. Whatever! I'm not even in Dallas. Have you ever watched an NFL-Europe game? Talk about bizzare. The one I saw was Rhine vs. Berlin or Stuttgart (sp?) so everyone in the stands is German. The game is called in German at the stadium but the broadcast is done in English. All the players are Americanc and you get the impression that they're the only Americans in town. The only German player I noticed was the kicker for Rhine (I think it was Rhine.) Don't remember his name, but he was a RETIRED soccer player. The guy was playing in title matches probably before a lot of his teammates could walk. Now he's enjoying life after soccer as a good place kicker. What's that tell you about the toughness required to play American football?

Hi, >(that's soccer, you guys) Magnum have a new book out, published by Phaidon called "Magnum Football" (that's "Magnum Soccer" in the USA). It's in the same format as "Magnum Landscape". Some people might describe it as a cynical plundering of their archives to throw together a few 2nd rate photos to take advantage of global frenzy over the 'beautiful game'. However, the book does contain a lot of interesting and previously unpublished photos in their own right. There are also some, notably by HC-B, which are from the same contact sheet as his classics, which show more context, or give an insight into what he was up to when he took the classics. http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0714842362/qid%3D1022612818/026-1376086-6091602 http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0714842362/qid%3D1022612920/ref%3Dsr%5F11%5F0%5F1/104-3781998-8386335 --- Bob mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Tuesday, May 28, 2002, 10:52:04 AM, you wrote: > In view of the large American contingent here, I have decided to offer rather > generous odds on your team winning the World Cup (that's soccer, you guys).
