Last night I was going through BigSoccer.com, and noticed someone had a link to a poker thread in his .sig, so naturally I took the opportunity to mention this site.

Hey Tony, are you a soccer fan too? This site could use some more soccer fans on it. Between bigsoccer and this site, it is amazing that I get anything done.

i love soccer, being british,

And its called fucking football, we invented the damn game.

And who is 5th? USA? jesus. it wont last

no, 5th is the highest our National team has ever been ranked. We will be 5th until Germnay kicks our ass on Wednesday. They are sending their A-team for that game and we are sending our B-team.

Also, the FIFA ranking are completely meaningless. Realistically we are closer to 20th than 1st.

So it is a running joke all over the world. Talk about football (soccer) with a Briton and within 2 minutes they will say "we invented the game".

yes, but we did..... its not a joke, its a FACT.

And that's fine, because you know how us Yanks are about taking things British and making them...better.
