You had me confused for a moment skybird!
when you said football i thought there was an afl world cup i wasnt aware of. you europeans call soccer football and it confuses the buggery outta me!
Of course, down here we got rugby, league, football (footy) and soccer. all of which are called football by various people and at different times.
good on the girls, noone ever gives them any credit for playing, no moneys, no media, but they do it just as tough as the fellas!
