      In Canada less youngsters are getting into ice hockey , mainly due the cost of equipment
      and getting up early for ice time . Football ( not the N.American run&tackleball game )  in comparison has less costs and far easier access .

      Mirthing my way through life.

        Did get to try ice hockey couple times, was sweating putting the padding on and
        the puck was like chasing a bullet after being used to football speed .

          Best shirts in the tournament

          1. Australia - Classic green and gold with a collar and solid 'v' insert (very 70s)
          2. USA - red shirt with white and blue detailing, nice and simple and the colours look great, very bold, simple and childlike

          I would never buy anything by Nike but their kit designs are much less garish than adidas.

            I really like the Argentina home kit, Japan's kit is pretty nice too.

              IMO Japan's kit is pretty bad. Hot pink accents? Neon green? Nasty.

              To me, the stand kits are France, Australia, USA,

              Here's how GQ ranked all 32 jerseys.

                Much like the discussion about the jerseys I seem to have started, plus of course that my liking the French ones seems to be shared by so many, while naturally tastes differ. Astonishingly many media have ranked/rated them as well, I've seen three different ones alone here in Germany, with very differing results, too.

                But perhaps back to the game, Italy-Uruguay is the next thriller for me. So far the Latin American teams have shown very strong, if this holds here, we're in for the next big exit after Spain and England.

                              Looks like it, he certainly has an appetite for the game (and more)!

                                  The Italians being arch enemies of us Germans in soccer, I should be glad about their elimination. However, they were wronged in this game. The red card against them was a stark exaggeration, and that hearty bite deserved nothing else but being sent off.
                                  Oh well, Italy and England being the two from group D who have to leave now, that's nothing short of sensational.
                                  It's the Latino teams who prevail, and it may well go this way in other groups and in the knock-out stage as well.

                                      Life-long I don't know, but if FIFA know what they're doing, they'll keep him away from the remaining tournament.

                                          I hate this player. He is a great striker, but the rest of him is just awful. Unsportsmanlike behavior, diving, cheating, whining. Why is he allowed to rot this game?

                                            If he isn't banned for the rest of the tournament there is something wrong at FIFA (well, more wrong than the obvious).
