OT England to play US in World Cup

I see England will play the USA in their first game of next year's Football World Cup on June 12.

I never make predictions about sporting fixtures, but in this instance I will make one. I predict I will be in the dog house as that day is my wife's birthday and she gets to watch a game of football on the TV. :blind::birthday2
 
Wow... going to be a huge day for me... Those are the only two teams that I would care to see in the final.....Geez.... Guess either way I'll be happy with the outcome of that game.... I will have to check out our draw for next year... In 2006 we had a horrible group to play out of...

We play football with our feet, that's why it's called football. We play rugby with our hands and feet, it's called rugby because the game was invented at Rugby school. Only America plays football with hands, no idea why.
 
I think Sandar was saying that tongue in cheek... Meaning that yeah they call it a "World Series" here in the states regarding pro baseball, but it only encompasses two countries, U.S. & Canada....

And I think if there were an American Football World Cup, most of our spoiled athletes probably wouldn't even partake, and the ones who did would be destroyed by the rugby folk to migrated sports!

I honestly had no idea Canadian teams were involved in the World Series - I thought it was just the two leagues (Correction - I've just looked it up - one Canadian team!). I'd like to see Baseball as an Olympic sport - I wonder who would win that!

Spot on Witt, very definatley tongue in cheek (possibly extracting the wee wee a bit).

I watched a cracking exhibition game of rugby union this afternoon from Twickenham, London. Nothing rested on the game other than to entertain. It was the Barbarians agaist the All Blacks (New Zealand, so called because they play in an all black kit and they are awesome). The Barbarians are selected from all nations and solely for their flair, they included Aussies, South Africans, Fijians, Brits, Italians and even a New Zealander. It finished 25-18 in favour of the Barbarians, their first win over the All Blacks for a long time.

If you have a couple of hours to spare, watch it here,

Those poor Britonians...

They'll never know what hit them..

Hopefully it will be quick and painless instead of agonizing and excruciating....

:guinness:

Good wasn't it. Not an Englishman in sight, unfortunately. Habana was excellent though.

Baseball was an Olympic sport at the 1992 Olympics, it had previously been played as an exhibition sport. It was voted out of 2012 Olympics. The usual suspects dominated: Cuba, USA, Japan and Korea. I think even the Aussie even won a medal. Now they have the World Baseball Classic in which 12 countries play. The Japanese have won both of the tournaments.

As Gary Lineker famously said "Football is a game of two halves and then the Germans beat you on penalties". which, looking at the draw for next summer, could happen to England yet again...
 
How about the Green Bay Packers vs. England at Lambeau Field?

That would be interesting... :mixedsmi: :running:





Soccer bores me to death and beyond... :sleep: :sleep: :sleep:
