I played Jr. High and High School Soccer when it was a game for nerds or guys who got cut from Football. I'm looking forward to the day that the World Cup resides in the States. Very nice!

The tie prevented Costa Rica from qualifying <em>that night</em>; it didn't knock them out completely. You could tell they were well aware after the game that they had been only 20 seconds away from sealing the deal. No, I didn't know you had seen Fulham v. Chelsea! That must have been quite the experience, especially seeing the game over there in that type of environment. Well done. Pcg,

And no, I don't have tickets to South Africa. But I sure did do all of the research and decided I'd rather not go THAT far into debt. :-D BTW, did I tell you that I saw a Barclays Premier League game (Fulham v. Chelsea, no less) when we were in London? It was AWESOME; I think someone that enjoys good soccer, like you do, would really appreciate it.
