my dumb ass american cable system just got around to finishining up , showing all the games and whatnot. im a new fan of the sport , and i was wondering what yalls opinions of the tournament were .. i thought it was rather exciting at imes , glad to see an underdog win . and i learned quite a bit about the rules of the game , and some of the slang and terminolgy used. some of british websites that ive surfed , are absoilutelyu hilarious , they are mostly about some fuck gheye looking brands of clothes called names like stone island and aquasputum (rofl) than the actual game ... also they have "calling cards" , i guess after you recieve a severe beating , they tuck a card into your pocket or soemthing ! what a revelation theser sites are ! .... also i was wondering what a couple cool teams were to follow ... i saw a bad ass team of the brazilian league on tv a couple times so right now i am a tentative "supoporter" lol of "corinthians" ..... am i correct in you are only allowed to support one team ? or one team in each division ? How does relegation work exactly ? the bottom three teams at the end of the season go down , and the top three of league 2 go up ? what about leagues 3 and 4 ? do they relegate as well ? I noticed that the leeds peacocks were relegated , i think that is a good thing .. the lkower division looks pretty cool and the fans seem to get a lot more rowdy and drunk. I saw a leeds highlight reel , and some of the goals , and footwork in the "area" by that guy alan smith looked very classy ...on par with some of the famous names .. however , they were highlights , lucky shots ? how does alan smith rate ? im just wondering because the highlights of the goals and passes he made looked wicked.
getting back to the tournament , did anyone actually predict that outcome before the start of the tourney ? And the england game must have been brutal for you guys , however , if i understand the rules correctly , even incidental contact with the keeper , with the ball in the area is not allowed ?

forgive my ignorant post , however watching conversations on here , combined with a beer and watching games on world sports channel has converted me to a fan of the game , and im looking forward to "supporting" the corinthians and perhaps cracking a few fucking skulls on the "terraces" lol while wearing some casual wear.

why is that? Greece played their game, and they played it well... it's not the most exciting style of play, but they won the tournament fair and square... and they beat some of the best teams to do it...

maphive: If incidental fault with the goal keeper is made of course it matters if the keeper is obstructed from his action is considered a fault just because its a incident doesn´t mean it doesn´t count.

I agree man. They won cause they played their own game all the way thru , and they looked confident doing so.
Should be interesting seeing how well they do next time.

I'm glad someone *new* won for a fucking change. It also makes me laugh since none of the big stars in the advert for the competition (usual suspects like Beckham, Raul, Totti I think, who were typically made out to be superior human beings) weren't even in the semi finals.
