              We played you guys tough today! Oh well, 1-2 to the 4-time world champs is not too bad :) Of course, the hard thing to swallow was having the 1-0 lead at halftime get away from us :( Cheers, Tom Archer Author - Inside C#, Visual C++.NET Bible Please remember to keep this for tax purposes.

                    What I hate about it is that you can't use your hands! Most other sports make/let you use your entire body in some way. And what's with the "ball hitting head" thing? That hurts! :( Like it or not, I'm right.

Thats why we call it football (at least that's how it translates). You use your feet on the ball:) And what's with the "ball hitting head" thing? That hurts! OK that defeats the term football :( (and yes it hurts, but so does being forced to the ground in American Football I assume)

                                  Soccer is more exciting when it's played by amateurs, where points are scored more easily. When it's played by pros, scoring is a lot more difficult and the game becomes a boring chase-the-ball fest. It's no wonder why everyone goes nuts when a point is scored.
