FIFA Womens World Cup

[Sir M]

Ok I am changing my holiday plans Trece. No more Berlin I am am heading to Edmonton! Off to the mall!

Does anyone actually travel for WWC? I figured it was just attended by locals....

 

[Sir M]

I would definitely think so.

 

[mtkb]

The obvious criticism of Commonwealth of course is that it's hardly an intimate atmosphere...

I wonder if it was actually a piss-take, or half one, from Kelly.... he's usually pretty cerebral, I think...

 

[Sir M]

This is an intimate Edmonton experience:

Enjoy a guided snowshoe walk with your sweetheart through the natural beauty of the River Valley! The walk will be followed by hot chocolate and bannock making.

@Ballbaby - is that Greek or Eskimo for screwing?

 

[Sir M]

I think that a nice hot chocolate is better enjoyed after bannock making.

LOL

The competition opens with a soccer mom dropping her kid off in a mini van

In 30 seconds we learned why these games are on turf and not real grass: )

 

[Sir M]

Last year's income for male footballers:

1. Christiano Ronaldo: 79 million
2. Lionel Messi: 72 million
10. Luis Suarez: 20 million

Last year's income for female footballers:

1. Marta: 400 thousand
2. Abby Wambach: 190 thousand
10. Hope Solo: 22 thousand, despite the fact she has nicer teeth that Suarez

Christine Sinclair: slightly less than what The Apprentice pays his players.

Good penno call... at first thought it was harsh but the elbow caught her good

Go Canada Go

 

[Reds-16]

Not the prettiest win but a win none the less. Lets win this World Cup and stick it right up Abby Wanbach's gay ass!!!!

Brutal. Show some class. We're above that.

New Zealand: on the whole, hottest team here?

Like what I'm seeing

Sorry, still a little bitter about The Olympics and her comments about how much better they are.

 

[Sir M]

My goodness. I have never watched women's soccer before. Hopefully that was just a flat game and not the usual quality?

That was a little boring because China didn't want to concede anything. It's usually a little better than that. Have to wait til it gets serious ( round 2 ) will bring a little more excitement.

 

[Sir M]

Hopefully it will improve. However, that was painful. I would hope that this tournament will not be judged by who is the "hottest" team but we will have to see if the quality improves (a lot). I may watch one more game to see if it gets any better, but oh my. Are any of the other teams any more entertaining or technically any better?

Pitch looks great at BC Place. VERY intimate atmosphere for this first game

Game On in Winnipeg: )

She's a bit of a crazy bitch - allegedly - but Hope Solo is a very good keeper for the yanks
