Re: OT: Oz going to World Cup 2006
For some reason you remind me of a story by an author (whose name I can not think of right now) who wrote westerns based loosely upon stories his granddad used to tell him when he was growing up in Wyoming. They were more true to life than most westerns. Anyway in this story one of the cowboys went east to visit reletives or something and they took him to a college football game (this was long before pro football). He came back to the ranch all excited about football and eventually got two teams together so they could play. They were not exactly sure of the rules, so the worked them out together. It was decided that knives, sixguns and winchesters were okay, but sawed off shotguns were ruled out. Must have been a rough game. graywolf http://www.graywolfphoto.com Idiot Proof == Expert Proof --- frank theriault wrote: On 11/17/05, Norman Baugher [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Especially if they meet Brasilbwahahahhahahahahaha Football?

Re: OT - Rugby World Cup
Twenty nations qualified for the final series: Argentina Australia Canada England Fiji France Georgia (the state of the former Soviet Union, not the one in USA) Ireland Italy Japan Namibia New Zealand Romania Samoa Scotland South Africa Tonga Uraguay USA Wales. Even more nations are members of the International Rugby Union, and have contested previous RWC final series. It's the world's second most popular football code, after football (called soccer in some countries) itself. American Football is an also ran in the rank of world footballs, ranking behind football (soccer), Rugby and Rugby League (an offshoot of Rugby) based on the number of participating nations (but almost certainly ahead of Rugby League on number of fans). It would lead Australian Football on fan numbers but would be about par with it in terms of worldwide awareness and popularity. Gaelic Football is somewhere behind. Minor football codes played in only one location, such as the games played by teams in medieval costumes at Italian festivals, and the mass scrums played between English villages once a year, would rank last but always seem to get onto TV news nevertheless.

Re: OT - Rugby World Cup
Much like the World Cup for soccer, I believe there were qualifying matches all over the world leading up to the finals held in Australia. Surprisingly, the American team made it into the finals (20 teams). anybody here in the US even know that the Rugby world cup was going on; or even that we had a team to support? Didn't think so. Christian Who was in Oz when the world cup started and only then realized that there was an American team. - Original Message - From: Ryan Lee [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, November 22, 2003 7:32 PM Subject: Re: OT - Rugby World Cup Most of them are just there to make up numbers apparently.

Re[3]: OT World Cup Offer
Hi, Bob. Yes, these two extremes I suppose are a good definition of my country, and a good explanation of why we are as we are in this moment (destroyed). The cause of our doom is our damned viveza criolla, something a bit untraslatable, something like argentine evil-smart-mind, looking always for a shortcut, a leeway, an advantage. Both articles are very good, but the Observer's one is absolutely great and super accurate (except for the 5 o clock tea). If you list member are not from here and want to understand us, read it.

Every time the 'hamd of God' goal is shown, so is the sublime goal (and vice versa). We find it difficult to see how 2 extremes could co-exist in one man, and be revealed in the same match. One of the joys of English football, though, is that Owen's goal against Argentina in France was almost as good as Maradona's against us!

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...

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.

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.

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.

Re: OT World Cup Offer
The world cup is the true world sport competition: soccer. Some obscure sport No, about 5.5 million people in the I meant 5.5 billion people world loves it. Just the 0.5 million remaining north Americans and some crazy people don't know anything about it. To be true what is going to start this weekend are the finals. The world cup started last year with almost 200 national teams. They played against each other in regional groups (one for south america, europe, north america, africa, asia and oceania). 4-6 teams from each group qualified to the finals that start this weekend. In the total there are 32 teams in the finals and everybody call this the World Cup. This year World Cup happens in Korea and Japan.

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). I will give you 100-1 odds.

I don't see NZ in the table (not surprising). Might I be correct in supposing that the Kiwi view is that soccer is for poofs?

Re: OT World Cup Offer
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).
