    Default OT : World Cup starts tonight

    5 weeks of football heaven with serious sleep deprivation - starts in 7 hours time.

    The joys.......

    Any other football nuts out there ?

    No you're wrong. The W.C doesn't start until 12/6 That's when (to my understanding) the Aussies have their first game! Funny thing is that I remember when we were last in the W.C. I bet you do too Bo...

    i guess if thats how they look at me i might as well be that way, f the world NBA playoff are on and the winner is somehow "wolrd champion" even though no one else in the world plays.

    English fans have a chant : "2 world wars, 1 world cup" which they have been banned from chanting in advance !

    As Basil Fawlty said : "Don't mention the war !"

    They call gridiron - football, they call rugby union - football, they call rugby league - football, they call aussie rules - football, and they call football - soccer !

    At least we have now changed its name from soccer to football in Oz.

    Interesting to note that the World Cup is approx 3 times more watched than the summer olympics.

    194 nations competed to get to the 32 in the finals.
