They call it soccer in Ireland? :huh:

Football there refers to Gaelic Football.

There's an ad campaign here in subway stations for a betting company, showing Cristo Redentor:

My flatmate's playing a video game. Apparently a Greece-Columbia group game isn't important enough for me to get the TV :lol:

Beer is in the fridge, snacks are stocked. The long football day may commence.

Well blow me...I must have been asleep or drunk when I made my picks a few weeks ago 'cause I had Australia over Chile; I could have sworn it was the other way round. As I intimated in my post of last night.

What was I thinking... :huh:

Notes to self -

(1) Drink less so you don't forget your picks.
(2) Drink more so as to forget your picks.

Maybe whoever is carrying the WC is also streaming it on their webpage? Austrian TV does.

Nogomet? Can you explain that Warspite?

Hmm, would be nog- (foot) and "met" I think is derived from metnuti, to place.

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.
