I got to spend most of this game explaining the offsides rule (took even longer than I expected, and then got tested almost immediately thanks to replay), why Greece sucks (yet are the defending winners), and why I could promise them they would love the Oranje...<BR/><BR/>Success on all counts. Possibly the most surprising day of my life...OK, maybe not, but its a definite top-5. My parents are 60+, and are watching Euro 2008 every day 2 weeks in EVEN without understanding the offsides rule until today...and this after me telling them that they might not enjoy the Azzuri's style of play (Italian background)...<BR/><BR/>Anyways, thanks for trying to cover this game. It was an ugly mess I had to try to explain to them, but it seemed to make sense - they understood a striker "taking the ball to the corner" late in a game, even as we saw Russia get silly late trying to score instead of steal time...jjf3https://www.blogger.com/profile/04463971119340446760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4234337357347181796.post-18545534752539087342008-06-14T15:32:00.000-04:002008-06-14T15:32:00.000-04:00Halftime...and I have to go fiancee duties...oh we...Halftime...and I have to go fiancee duties...oh well...i've watched plenty of soccer over the week, i can miss the second half of this stellar match.The Fan's Attichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10704334019031698607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4234337357347181796.post-68267880315431491492008-06-14T15:25:00.000-04:002008-06-14T15:25:00.000-04:00I am quite impressed with the announcers ability t...I am quite impressed with the announcers ability to pronounce these names.The Fan's Attichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10704334019031698607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4234337357347181796.post-71335416383321355942008-06-14T15:10:00.001-04:002008-06-14T15:10:00.001-04:00Yes, along with the Queen, the Vatican, the Gettys...Yes, along with the Queen, the Vatican, the Gettys, and the Rothschilds.Goathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17380632310675126766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4234337357347181796.post-27603921444019789482008-06-14T15:10:00.000-04:002008-06-14T15:10:00.000-04:00Is there anything more useless than a set of arrow...Is there anything more useless than a set of arrows on a PowerPoint slide?
