| Addicted Fan   |  Yeah I wasn't too happy either - its a shame, nothing beats the buzz around the country when England are at a major tournament  Thats true about the Olympics I think  __________________ I can't remember the time or place, or what you were wearing, it's unclear about how we met, all I know - it was the best conversation that I've ever had Icon Credit - Deadly Poison | |||

Since 1992, the IOC has changed the rules again to make the Olympic Soccer tournament an Under 23 competition while allowing three over-age players into each national squad. Players are allowed to be professionals now and the current rules have allowed players such as Ronaldo, Carlos Tevez and Alberto Gilardino to compete. __________________ All our lives, We've been waiting For someone to call our leader.Stop the Codex Alimentarius!! | |||

| Addicted Fan | Cool, thanks Larry  I don't think the Olympics will ever be as important to national teams as The World Cup. I just hope England are at the next World Cup well with Mr Capello in charge we should be okay  __________________ I can't remember the time or place, or what you were wearing, it's unclear about how we met, all I know - it was the best conversation that I've ever had Icon Credit - Deadly Poison | |||

| Master Fan  | I understand absoloutely nothing about American Football. Yeah thats the rule Larry thanks, I just think that cause most of the players are young and unknown then its never gonna become much of a big deal really, though of course for countries like mine getting into even the olympics football is quite an achievement. I hope were in the next world cup too, we were in the last one and it was great to see our boys playing against the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Figo.  | |||

No, I would never talk American Football here...it's only popular over here and a totally different sport, related more to Rugby actually. __________________ All our lives, We've been waiting For someone to call our leader.Stop the Codex Alimentarius!! | |||

| Addicted Fan | Yeah football, as in soccer, isn't very popular in your country right Larry ?? Most Americans I've ever talked to about the game can't understand how a 90 minute game can end 0-0  __________________ I can't remember the time or place, or what you were wearing, it's unclear about how we met, all I know - it was the best conversation that I've ever had Icon Credit - Deadly Poison | |||

| Master Fan | Yes I know that but the olympics are still mainly about new players, and are missing a load of the actually good players and besides with the olympics the focus is and always will be on the other events, the martial arts fights and stuff, so the football is easily over shadowed. Jack - I take it you dont watch football. | |||

| Master Fan | Yes Jack, we mean soccer, is it famous in Australia? Hehe, Beckham was a mistake it seems, it was weird how he decided to leave Real Madrid for money, its not like he needs it anyways. | |||

| It's definently getting bigger, but I think it's still considered a "sissy" sport by most. Rugby/Cricket seems to be our major sports. __________________ Y o u g o t m e g o i n g [Vote[Jessica Stroup/Avril Lavigne] | |||

We have some good Australian players in our league Jack! Tim Cahill, Mark Viduka and Harry Kewell are probably the most famous Thats right Larry - I lost all respect for David Beckham when he went to MLS, for the money and because his wife likes the shopping __________________ I can't remember the time or place, or what you were wearing, it's unclear about how we met, all I know - it was the best conversation that I've ever had Icon Credit - Deadly Poison | |||
