Don't apologize, you can't skip it. In France, though, we don't have the commercial. But when I'm in the UK with Alicja, I'm not even allowed to watch the clips.

And since 2 days ago (and my new laptop), I get an error #2046 when trying to see videos on the daily show website.

I'm on windows 7 (64bits), using Firefox and the ever-crappy Adobe Flash plugin.

Anyone got any idea how it could be fixed? I need my Daily Show and Colbert Report!

you should also remember that the game was changed in the early part of the 20th century because it killed too many people with the manner it was played back then.


They only did it because President Teddy Roosevelt threatened to outlaw the game if it weren't made safer.

The opposite, actually, the Canadian game is more open and tends to favor lighter, quicker linemen in particular.  

Unless by enwimpened you meant something like enfattened :)

Apparently the smaller field arose because Harvard didn't have a rugby field available when the game was first played here.

Yeah!  El Pais first led with "Spain crashes against Switzerland".

About an hour ago they had a subhead saying something like "the 'selection' (national team) played for an hour like a team shooting blanks, and paid with anguish before the Swiss".  The story leads something like "an error of conception leaves spain in a state of anguish" - looks like the coach is going to be in for some heavy fire!

My prediction:

Rajoy of the rightish People's Party will say that the Socialist government is to blame, and that the PP will step up efforts to force Zapatero to call an early election.

If the team loses again, the coach will be burned at the stake in Madrid's Plaza Mayor.

Among the Mexian soccer fans I know, the hot rumor is that the balls being used are non-standard and that this is why more goals are being scored- the goalies cannot "read" the new ball's spin, or bounce.

Paranoia, or is there some possible basis?

Can't wait to see the look on Domenech's face. Maybe he'll finally start learning gardening, instead of pretending to be a "sport" coach...

Seems the ball is 400 grams, slick as a post-McDonald floater, and very fast*. They are not the first to complain.

is 400 grams the same size as a regulation ball? Let's ask Joe G.!

BALLZ!

Cameroon a country where for everyone Sunday and soccer are the same, beaten by a bunch of Geishas - bah!

If 'Japon' played there they would be beaten hands down since the ball is made of plastic shopping bags wrapped around a blown up condom played on a field filled with craters, rocks and players with bare feet.

If they don't get some points the CFA will devalue .... hmmmm my love notes might go up..hey might be a win-win.

On a brighter note the frikken Socceroos got at reaming by the Übermensch...so guess what?

The Ozzies are patting the Kiwis on the back fr getting a point!

Like we need to reminded that having a tiny dick is a prerequisite to be one.....

Still, we feel their pain.....oh wait....

I'm just underwhelmed by the half hearted antipodean unironicly named 'All Whites'.

Appart from dissing the All Blacks the greatest rugby players in the world its milk toast.

How about the Rampaging KIWIS?

A blind nocturnal, flightless bird with nostrils in the end of its beak that eat's root's shoot's and leave's.

Crikey even the Aussies respect us for that!

Just ask one who's invited us to a barbeque.

By now you've probably seen "the look".
But there's still a chance!
If France wins 3:0 against South Africa and Mexico loses 0:2 against Uruguay, you're still in!
Good luck with that...

If Mexico and Uruguay draw, they both go through.  Not that I'm suggesting collusion, but the prospects of free drinks all night whenever they visit Ireland...

I know...I know...I shouldn't be saying this, but...

We tied we tied we tied we tied we tied with Slovenia!!!

:D

This is one American who really wants a few more Americans to get into this game

Of course, I'm offending my relatives in South Africa by saying all this, but I point out that it really would be better as a whole for the sport if more Americans came to enjoy it.




And Louis, I'll by you  beer next time I'm in England just for further annoying you with this.  :)

Friends of ours are heavily involved in youth soccer here. Tyler is a member of the national champ team for his age group. Since he'll be in the tenth grade next year, college recruiters are lining up already. They have visited all the older members of his team.
