FOOTBALL (SOCCER) WORLD CUP GERMANY 2006

Anyone else think we should have scheduled a friendly against Liechtenstein in Vaduz if only so the the ESPN announcers would have to stop saying that the US has never beat a European team in Europe?

Should have booked a game against Scotland

Chris Tarrant says, "Right Sven, this is for £1 million, and remember, you still have two lifelines left, so please take your time.
"Here's your question: What type of animal lives in a Set?
"Is it. (a) a badger, (b) a ferret; (c) a mole or (d) a cuckoo?"
Sven ponders for a while and says, "No, I'm sorry Chris, I'm not too sure.
I'll have to go 50-50."
"Right, Sven, let's take away two wrong answers and see what you're left with.
'Badger' and 'Cuckoo' are the two remaining answers."
Sven has a long think, then scratches his head and says,
"No, Chris, I'm still not sure, I'm going to have to phone a friend."
So who are you going to call, Sven?" says Chris.
"Hmmm, I think I'll call David Beckham."
So Tarrant phones David Beckham.
"David, this is Chris Tarrant from 'Who wants to be a Millionaire'.
I've got Sven-Goran Eriksson here, and with your help he could win £1 million. The next voice you hear will be Sven's."
"Hello David" says Sven. "It's the boss here. What type of animal lives in a set? Is it a badger or a cuckoo?"
"It's a badger, boss," says Becks without hesitation.
"You sure, son?" says Sven.
"Definitely, boss. One hundred per cent. It's a badger. Definitely."
"Right, Chris," says Sven, "I'll go with David. The answer's a badger."
"Final answer, Sven?"
"Final answer, Chris."
"That's the correct answer. You've won £1 million!"
Cue wild celebrations.
Next morning at training, Sven calls Beckham across.
"Son, that was brilliant last night. I thought I might be taking a gamble giving you a call, but you played a blinder!
But how the heck did you know that a badger lives in a set?"
"Oh I didn't, boss..." replies Beckham,

... But everybody knows a cuckoo lives in a clock!"

Ghana over USA, 2-1. Ghana advances to next round, USA goes home.

They're probably going nuts in Accra...

For the third time:

Go, Cowboys!

Maybe THEY will win something since the Mavericks just had to choke. I'm a Spurs fan myself, but I gotta go for Texas teams when my favorites are out.

Oh well. It's a shame that USA has to go home soon, but they were in a very tough group that contained big teams.

What about Barry Switzer? Now THERE was a coach.

And Chan Gailey.

And Dave Campo.

My New Orleans Saints have always lost and it looks like they will always lose. At least they're consistent.

Anyone know what song they're playing at the end of matches in the World Cup?

[pulseczar]

No idea, but it sounds alot like the songs they play after Pride matches.

[fpoon]

And what song is that?

The FIFA Anthem is played after each match.

Maybe they play that to, but the one I'm thinking about is this big orchestral something that they do right after the match has gone final. I've heard it before somewhere. It's got the word "champion" in there somewhere. Like "sing out for the champions" or something like that.

Yo

Is it the Fifa Fair Play theme
