European Championships), however I am not sure what the consensus was. I still disagree that Euro is superior.

Yes, there aren't any shitty Asian teams, but thereare some excellent South American and African ones. Those countries usually produce more exciting soccer than say, Austria. <BR/><BR/>That being said, I am glad that the Rockists are soccer fans. I for one, am looking forward to watching Italy v Netherlands this sacklunchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10865553449094912225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7929919589843524705.post-77786596972602504902008-06-06T17:16:00.000-04:002008-06-06T17:16:00.000-04:00I don't even have TIME to tell you all the weird c...I don't even have TIME to tell you all the weird connections I have to The Grand Archives. My party days in Seattle have brought me face to face with way too many of these dudes. And Matt Brooke owns my favorite bar in Seattle. the Redwood...although when I was there last, they had replaced their fantasticly old jukebox and nixed the free, endless barrel of peanuts available. Sellouts. Anyway, Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
