>SA>UK jihadists attack 'religion of soccer,' warn Muslims against taking
>SA>part in 'colonial crusader scheme'

>LL>I think the USA coach wanted to behead the German referee after
>LL>losing the game to Ghana...

>SA>The referee (correct title noted) may have been blowing a Whistle of

>LL>Australia almost pulled off a big upset against Italy today.  Maybe
>LL>next time around the USA and Australia will face off in the finals.
>LL>And that would be a first.  In South Africa.  :)

>SA>It would be good to see Oz defeat the USA 3-nil :)

>LL>Once upon a time Oz did manage to win the America's Cup.

SA>Yes, I do remember that day (night, here) in 1983.

>LL>And if they could do it in yachting, maybe they can do it
>LL>in soccer.

SA>I'm sure it could happen, & it would be a sellout crowd wherever it

Well, it is reputedly the most popular sport in the world...

>LL>Of course, Americans are more used to playing

SA>The brand where they pack-rape the ball (or each other), but rarely
