World Cup

[franceslievens]

The Belgian Red Devils didn't make it into the soccer Football World Cup (thanks to an attentive reader I've corrected my strange use of American English).

Now if only Turkey, Italy and Brazil won't make it as well, we'll have a very quiet summer.

On the other hand, then Portugal will end up in the semi-finals and those Portuguese also know how to party (and have barbecues on the pavement).

You meant the Football World Cup, didn't you? The whole planet but the USA calls it football after all.

Yeah yeah, I know... I thought I was talking British English. Go figure... Sorry.

Well I don't like football anyway. Rugby is my sport!

But I think it's interesting that you used soccer...

I don't know why I used soccer either! But for some reason when I think football in English soccer comes out! I probably dislike it that much that I give it the silly name. It must be Freudian. ;-)

Yeah, and you know why the Germans are qualified? They are hosting the damn thing. They wouldn't have had a very hard time in the qualifications. Currently they're crap - but they always end up lucky.

Actually, I quite like watching football.

I used to watch the world cup or the European cup, because it was always during my exam period at uni. So whenever I wanted to watch the telly to relax a little there wouldn't be anything else on then football.
