Football...

Haven't got a clue about Canada's rankings Spotnick. I guess somewhere inbetween Faraoer Islands and Trinidad&Tabasco;)

Canada won a big match against a big team a while ago, then they were invited to the America's cup or something like that in Puru. But Canada dropped out, and ever since then They have sucked.

But since I lived in Brazil for awhile I'm going for them

Go Brazil GO

And your right, we got our Hockey Back!!!

Originally posted by Spotnick Well, it seems there is no way to avoid this, until England lose to Brazil :D (Hey, I know nothing about it, so don't blame me!!), so while we're at it.Anyone knows the actual rank of Canada in the FIFA standings? Very curious to know that, for sure we suck, we're the only North American team not there, and believe it or not, football (or soccer as we call it) is the #1 sport played in the country since 3 years, it has always been Hockey so far, times change. The reason should be of course the massive immigration Canada gets every year..

England will beat Brazil and go to the final match, I expect, you have to wait until the end of this month. :D

NICE ONE HEATHER KIM LOVE ROCKET MICK AND HIS AMAZING EXPANDING WAISTLINE :p

Hey Sluggie, what about about the sweaty socks @ 54 ???

Canada's involvement in the 2002 World Cup ended two years ago, when they were eliminated at the Preliminary Second Round qualifying stage. They made it past the first round by beating Cuba 1-0 over two games, but failed at the next hurdle by finishing third in group behind Mexico and the mighty Trinidad and Tobago.

75, Nicolas. Worse than Congo, Uzbekistan and Bosnia-Herzegovina. You can see the FIFA ranking here.

Even we cracked the damn top 50 and it's a fourth-string code here!

Above the likes of Scotland it appears... That must hurt some of you, who shall remain nameless. ;)

Attack of the Clones ... good or bad?

Originally posted by Huntsman Attack of the Clones ... good or bad? Amazing! IMHO just watching all the rendered backgrounds was good enough reason for me to be due to see it a second time soon. The whole package is the most visually stunning piece of work ever to be served before my mince pies. A cross stylistically between Blade Runner, The Fifth Element and Gladiator, with a bit of Italian(Amalfi coast) dreamscape thrown in for good measure but taken technological to whole new degree and then crashing back to the seventies with some great retro touches as R2D2 and C3P0 are ressurected even though it is seemingly before there time, back to the future indeed.

Toughie.

It's copped a lot of flak from some quarters, castigating trite dialogue, wooden acting, incoherent plot, overuse of digital imagery, loss of 'the magic' and the like.

On the other hand, a great whack of punters are calling it the best in the series (!), celebrating a return to form after the schmozzle that was Ep 1.

I quite enjoyed it. There were some breathtaking battle scenes, plenty of the Fett family, Yoda and Windu show some slick moves, magical CG, cool new characters and harware, etc. And it sets Ep 3 up to be a cracker. I will see it again, partly because I'm a sad fan and I have a hundred or so of the original trilogy action figures stashed in a dusty Vader helmet somewhere.

It's good. A lot reckon Spidey's better but I beg to differ.

BTW, I just watched 'A New Hope' again and spotted some real continuity issues arising from events in Eps 1 and 2.. Intriguing.

Best bit? Natalie Portman's astonishing tummy, obviously.

Second best bit? The revelation that stormtroopers are all clone kiwis. I just fucking KNEW it........

Surely the tummy revelation was usurped by the "Isn't it cold in this dropship" attentive form of her Naboobians?

Depthy,

I'm sending my dry cleaning bill to YOU.

Oh baby: in space, everyone can see your nipple-on.......

Not sure about it -but still, the Korea team is AWESOME! Congrats for winning against la squadra azzura, Heather (and have fun in Seoul, I guess it's going to be hot tonight.. :))

Boisvert-baiting ? ;)

Originally posted by Huntsman Attack of the Clones ... good or bad?

Very good, much better than ep I (OK, it wasn't a difficult challenge to win), with a good scenario. It just lacks the sense of humour of the initial trilogy (although there is some humour in the execution arena scene). I've already seen it twice, and I think I'll go for a third round soon.

I love Ice-hockey(for Canada!), I love Football(for England and Brazil oh god :o ), I love Short-tracks Skating (for my country hmm), and I LOVE 'CURLING' VERY MUCH! ;) But here most Korean's don't know about Curling and even including myself as well. :p I want to watch more Curling games in TV with forthcoming Winter Olympic Games.

Well, This was my first posting here, Great cheers to u all second round's football winners!

Thank you! Right. It's very hot and magical night. Poland,USA,Portugal and Italy. The next one is..Spain. I'm sad about Kim Nam Il's extream injury...but anyway I'm so excited.

Originally posted by ShugZV I guess you still haven't forgotten 1985 depthy baby;)World Cup Eliminator Scotland 2 Australia 0 :D"Oh flower of Scotland WHEN will we see the likes again?"

Ha ha! Classic.

You know someone's struggling when they start quoting scorelines from twenty-odd years back. Funnily enough, I do actually remember this debacle. Just another sorry leaf in the book of our national team travelling to all ends of the earth in sudden-death qualifiers. Scotland, Argentina, Iran, Uruguay, it's endless.. And it always ends in tears.

:\pimp2:

Sorry Heather, no way. Spain is going to obliterate Korea's team so comprehensively that Curling will become the preferred sport for the youths and Mikayo will be able to see as many matches as he wants.;)

Sorry about Hiddink, though. He is one of the few truly interesting people in football these days.

QUE VIVA ESPAÑA

In fact, I don't think Korea can beat Spain...

Spain is very strong team and Korean players are very tired for overtime match against Italy. I heard Kim Nam Il and Park Ji Sung are suffered serious injuries.

But I'm happy enough even now. Our boys already showed their fighting spirit to the world. They were really beautiful when they never gave up the game against USA and Italy. I'm very proud of it.

I think South Korea have every chance against Spain, who looked very rattled against the Irish and were lucky that Mick hadn't had them practice taking penalties.....

After beating Italy, what have South Korea got to lose? I just hope none of the Koreans play in the Spanish league!

Originally posted by Old Blue After beating Italy, what have South Korea got to lose? I just hope none of the Koreans play in the Spanish league!

There's a rumor that our hot MFs Kim Nam Il and Song Chong Gug will play in the Spanish league. Because they succeeded to seize Figo in the match against Portugal. So rivals of Real Madrid would need them. Funny joke. :D Figo's salary is 600 times bigger than Song's.

As far as I know (but I am no footie fan, I only support Spain and sometimes Real Zaragoza and cannot be bothered to watch the whole match, only the last half)there are no players from Korea playing in Spanish teams.

BTW what the Italians have done to the player who scored against them is preposterous. They have fired the player, called him an ignorant, attacked his penchant for chocolate, insulted his mother...The Beautiful Game indeed!
