Of course there are. Arsenal Ladies is the best English team and the England team is doing rather well in the World Cup... and the USA just put out Germany which is still in Europe as far as I am aware

Is that the football that we call Soccer? There is an American European football team?

 

[ZEROPILOT]

I've seen rugby and soccer. What is considered football elsewhere?

In Europe and around most of the world there is Association Football, or just Football, known in the US as soccer, where you're not allowed to touch the ball with your hands or arms unless you're the goalkeeper making a save.


Then there are the versions where you can pick up the ball with your hands:
Rugby Football is divided into two codes with different rules: Rugby Union (15 a side) and Rugby League (13 a side) . RU is probably the bigger of the two sports internationally.

Regional football games not played much in Europe are American Football and Australian Rules Football.

Thanks so much!
That makes it much clearer.

Several years ago I was selling a pretty special motorcycle and the gentleman who purchased it was some South African football star. I wish I could remember his name. He was pretty disturbed that I had never heard his name before.
Big dude. At least 6'6", 300 lbs. I'm sure it was Rugby.

Interesting, but sorry I do not see why folks would be getting burned on purpose.

I just can't believe it, the thunder is still going and it's pouring!
We do need this rain!!
My poor dogs are freaked

Poor puppies. They do not like fireworks either do they?

That's one good thing about an old dog that is nearly deaf. he doesn't pee himself anymore during a thunderstorm.

 

[Jacqui]

That would be scary.
I almost lost my house twice from wildfires.

That is one thing I am glad we do not have to worry about here.

Tell her it might be helpful to YOU if she wouldn't pump her basement in your direction.

Actually it is mine that heads around the street on two sides of her house.

You could replace the pit with your cell phone and get the same results.

His girlfriend?

Good morning. It was 95 yesterday, but then the rain came as expected.
It's been about 5 degrees above normal so far. So hot that I had to re-engineer my male RF pen for more shade and re-program my rain sprinkler timers.
Also, a lot of my garden has been cooked in place. Only sunflowers and peppers survived.

Sorry about your garden.Did you lose a lot?

Just wait til we find a slightly safer way to get Lichtenberg figures.

Okra and two different kinds of greens. Not much. Oh, and my tomato plants.

I think that men would be just wrong for the Lingerie League...................

Might be fun...

 

[Jacqui]

Thanks Gillian. Bertha has made a few giant leaps ahead in the last few days! She ate about half of a meal yesterday by herself.

She is doing good!

 

[Jacqui]

And another cloudy, overcast day today. So that means another humid day where the evaporative cooler doesn't work. Oh the hardship! ***Yvonne puts the back of her hand up to her forehead and swoons***

Poor Yvonne.

 

[Jacqui]

Of course!! How could we have forgotten:

I like this one.
