Two goals ? I suppose one goal is to win - what's the other ? To be a good sport, play like a gentleman, to be fair and honest ?

Socrates was a philosopher... I didnt know that they played football at his time!

P.S. I have no idea at all about football, so I may be wrong! :embarassed:

No, we're talking about FOOTBALL.

Don't know about ancient Greeks, but certainly the Romans used to play soccer (football?) with inflated pig stomachs.

I thought it was the English who invented football...

Oh well

The other is for the second goal-keeper* to have an appointment.

*a goal-keeper is the one you give your goal to keep

The soccer/football thing reminds me my dissappointment on a hardware store - I supposed I would have found computers there

oops!... :embarassed

At "my times", Maradonna was the best player around (although I didnt like him). Argentina, Italy and Holland (Gulit, Van Basten) were the super-powers of football...

Our best coach Kazimierz Gorski (early '70) was then Panatinaikos's coach

Socrates was clars - smoked 40-a-day, never turned up for practice sessions and was absolutely brilliant!

Well corrected sir!

As opposed to "American Football" (AKA 'HeadBashHead') and "Aussie Rules Football" (AKA 'Barroom Brawl')

Ah...the beautiful game (which England rather typically threw away in extra time...) *sobs*

Royston

Settle down, Royston, i'm a little sensitive in this area, what with the Adelaide Crows 14th on the ladder and everything...

Oh my, Sweden plays its first match tonight aaginst Bulgaria. The air here in Stockholm is basically trembling with excitement. Are there any bulgarians here on the forum? I need someone to throw threats and wild accusations against

Too bloody annoying with these matches though. I mean, i obviously have to see them all. . . . but how am I going to find time for my recordings? Im supposed to record this female vocalist tomorrow, but we´ll have to try to fit it in between the two matches. . . . .

You should have heard her sigh when I told her about that, hahaha

I like soccer. To be more detailed, I like the sport, not the business around it.
the tournament is a great way to bring people from different countries together. They scream, laugh and celebrate together.
I can´t wait for the world championship,though.
We have some matches here in my town then and the city will be full of mad people, I guess.

Personally I think our team will loose tomorrow against the flatlanders.

Is this tournament more exciting to people here than the Olympics ?

Ever watch the game on Monty Python? Archimedes passed the ball to Socrates who scored the winning goal against Germany

In certain areas, yes I think so. Even though the Olympics is huge too. Football is called the worlds largest sport (and rightly so) and the olympics is basically made up of loads of different sports that many people, including myself, has absolutely no interest in.
Personally I´ll hardly watch the olympics at all. Maybe some of the most exciting parts of athletics if I dont have anything better to do.
