Family Forum / Parenting / Mothers / June 2008Ping - Scrumble -- Turkey - Croatia?
In one of the articles I was reading from AFP this morning on the Turkey v. Croatia match stated, "in a lack-luster performance for 112 minutes by both squads..." The match I saw wasn't "lack-luster" nor pathetic. What match was that reporter watching? The Ranger > In one of the articles I was reading from AFP this morning on > the Turkey v.

A lot of reporters who don't know the game automatically label any draw as 'boring'. They just don't get the idea of an exciting draw. OK, so the result isn't exciting, it doesn't mean the play isn't. I have admit to not watching it many games in this tournement. My hearts just not in it after we didn't get through. So far I've only watched one game fully, and that was Holland v Italy at Disneyland Paris. If you want to watch Holland win a game, do it with 2000 of them in front of a huge TV screen, but make sure your not wearing a blue shirt. Makes for surreal evening in a tide of orange and Mickey Mouse dancing around Signaturescrum (\_/) Procrastinator bunny says: ( . .)

It was an exhibition of SUPERB<!!> ball-handling by both sides! Passes really were crisp and the showmanship... Ahhhh... So the score wasn't 27-22!

But we did it good today, visiting several Dutch friends' condo's game room. I just wish that the Russian team wasn't so much better opening up play and shooting... The Dutch couldn't pay for the ball to fall in today. The Ranger > DisneyEuro's just a mite too expensive for my surrealist's > budget...

It did sort of take the sting out of not qualifying seeing them play. The annoying thing is the Russian players don't have any more skill than any of the England team, they just have more drive and passion. Its the same thing that helped Greece win it last time. Some of that is playing for national pride, and some of it is the fact that the less well known players know this their chance to get noticed on the world stage, and by the big clubs. While our bunch of overpaid prima donna's have it made already, so don't need to try. Gah, you almost got me into rant mode. But its still not as good as a cold January night in Grimsby, with the snow piling around your ankles, watching Town grind out a 1-0 win* *maybe lying Signaturescrum (\_/) Procrastinator bunny says: ( . .)
