    I have no idea. I'm really sick of the Patriots too. I hate how they used the word "dynasty". After that it felt like cheering for the Yankees. And no way thats gonna happen.

    Perhaps it should be called football here, and football be called tacklerunners.

    Sort of yes...I think it has something to do with the English coming to the USA ages ago. They introduced soccer (afterall, the English kinda invented soccer and called it football) and the later Americans changed the rules and still called it football. But then on the American way.

    Armoured rugby, LOL!

    It's more WWF with a ball in my opinion, but I've got nothing against the sport or anyone who follows it. It's a worldwide institution and is fascinating to watch, but seems inexplicable to those who don't understand it such as me.

    I just wish people would call it something else other than football, because the REAL football came first!

  9. Dutch were really great yesterday!

    On the TV, one of Croatian football expertises - Tomislav Ivić (Mourinho's teacher) was astonished with Dutch and said that they have the best mentality in the world. (he worked in Holland as Ajax coach).

    I'm still astonished...our qualification went quite bad and boring. We never played so good as yesterday-eve for some years. The cheers are big now, but France is coming soon. The fact that we beat Italy doesn't say we will roll trough the campaign now. I'm still anxious a bit..

  12. And that's what makes the whole bloody situation even more ridiculous!

    "Panucci was active..." etc. - why can't it just be like the good old days?! If you're standing in the opponent's half and you're in between the last defender and the goalkeeper, you're offside, regardless of all this poncy "active" bullshit!
