Thanks Jess, very kind of you. My girls are huge football fans and I couldn't be happier. When I walk in the door most evenings my youngest gives me a recap of the day's game and she's pretty good at it too. Of course they are rabidly rooting for Spain and I do hope we can make a go of it this year. Surprisingly, FIFA has a store (or at least an Internet presence) based in North Caroline. My oldest quickly found it and I've got an order of jerseys coming up, hopefully in the next few days. I've even found a flag shop and may yet bring one home so that Nicole can hang out the car and wave it should Spain get past it's first elimination game. You have to love the World Cup, it truly is a global event.

I've got a core group of about 5 girls who are really good but it's impossible for them to carry the entire team. My daughter plays and loves the sport and will be moving up to a more competitve arena when she enters High School this fall.

hey Zurb, I coach my daughters teams also. My 3 year old is essentially a socializing exercise but my 6 year old is really starting to get the fever. Their spring season is over and I am really looking forward to the fall. My proudest moment was when she scored 4 goals in a game this season

I am already scouting property in NC so when she is recriuted by the TaHeels we will already have a place

Thanks Jess, you helped. Still think Crouch may come through for England. Let's face it he'll need to.

Sven`s biggest problem is that he is influenced by the media too much

He seems to pick the players and team according to to media and public view.He likes to be seen as a nice guy and doesn`t want to upset anyone
