I posted this news PURELY for those Americans at FR who like football/soccer.
Sad that some here have used to ridicule a sport we already know they dislike(which is fine,their choice).Just sad they cant let it go...
And I am glad you did.
What I wish more people at FR would realize is that business types do not share their views about real football (as played with the feet). As I'm sure you know, Malcolm Glazer owns the largest sporting endeavor on the planet in Manchester United, and Americans now own Aston Villa and Liverpool as well. American ownership won the English Premier League this year and almost won the European Cup. From a purely xenophobic standpoint Americans nearly controlled European football this season.
That said, I was glad to see Rangers come to America and happier still to see they won. I'm a passionate Minnesota sports fan for every sport except the NBA but one reason I like the beautiful game so much is that SCORING MEANS SOMETHING.
Would love to see the Govan Stand someday.
Must of been a great day out ‘party songs’ in the sun.
Keep posting this stuff. Some of us like to follow it. Of course, with me, it helps that my other half is a Brit. So I don’t have much choice!
There were some good World Cup threads last year, so there are more soccer/footy fans on FR.
