Hail Hail the Celts are here......well nearly its a long way off, but I look forward to seeing this game if its on TV, there is not enough football (soccer) on TV here : (

:blush: Oh my.....Guess I need to look around more. If it ain't football, hockey, basketball or baseball I don't watch it. :)

I watched a Cricket game a few days ago for a few moments and I couldn't figure out what the heck they were doing.......:lol:
Do they run bases?

[DCSholtis]

Hey George...TECHNICALLY...(Well if you live in Europe....)Soccer IS football....But Im in the same boat as you....if it ain't football....hockey....basketball.....or baseball.....For sure I aint watchin.....

[DCSholtis]

PSB dont be surprised if somehow YES ends up airing this....they do have a partnership with Man U.......Also August 4th is an offday for the Yankees.

You have to wonder who is wrong about soccer you guys (USA) or the REST OF THE WORLD ! If any of you want to check out a real football (soccer) team, then you should check out Glasgow Celtic FC (Football Club) since 1888. They might not be THE best team in the world, but they are the best team to to be a supporter of.

Nope..sorry PSB.....real football is the American game....without the hooligans.......Soccer is football WITH hooligans....there is a slight difference...

Football (either kind) in Philly usually includes hooligans!

David Beckham playing in the new Philadelphia stadium? I wonder if he'll help ole' Victoria Adams (formerly known as Posh Spice) conceive on the Lincoln Financial Field pitch just like they conceived on Old Trafford? ;) Talk about a way of inaugurating a new stadium!
