football

Oops, I misread the thread. I was hoping for <span style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;">foos</span>ball.<br>

WTF happened with that goal for the US??? Does that really count?<br><br>I figured I would give the game a chance and watch some soccer then I see that goal? <br><br><br>GO USA!!!<br>

I watched it for five minutes, what is with all the noise they are making? Just stupid if you ask me just plane stupid. As for the sport it's self I'm not into it but then I'm not into lots of sports but all the nasty noise all the people are making was too much for me.

What the heck is all that whirrring noise???<br><br>No wonder they fight a lot in the stands.<br>

Yeah Bob, it seems like they play for 14-months and there are 20-games, I don't get it.......

<font size="3">Ok, I didn't watch the game, but Martin has got to be kind of bummed. How's the reaction in the UK Martin, end of the world, or no big deal?<br><br>Mark</font><br>

Martin seems like a class act as most Brits are, &amp; I'm sure it hurts big time.

I am confused because I do not know about soccer. I have a question about the uniforms. <br><br>When I saw the goal scored by the USA, I thought England had scored a goal for the USA by the English player kicking the ball back to the goalkeeper as a safety so the goalkeeper could throw it back into play away from all the players who were in front of the goal. I thought this because the USA players and the England keeper had the same colored jerseys on. I just figured they were on the same team because the jerseys were the same color or close to the same. Englands uniforms were white, yet their goalkeepers jersey was a dark blue or dark something or other.<br><br>In all other organized sports, basketball, hockey, baseball and football, all of the players have on the exact same uniforms. <br><br><br><font size="4">Why are the goalkeepers uniforms a different color in soccer???</font><br><br><br>Just curious...<br>

Great question as I never knew the answer either. Did a search and found this:<br><br><br><h1 style="PADDING-BOTTOM: 1px; MARGIN: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 10px; PADDING-RIGHT: 10px; PADDING-TOP: 1px">Why do soccer goalies wear different colored shirts than rest of the team?</h1><br><font color="#ff0000" size="4">So that you can tell that it is the goal keeper that is coming to get the ball because he is allowed to touch it with his hands.</font>
