Tough luck for the socceroos Tom. They at least deserved a drawl last night.

I didn't see the game Roy but I am told that the score doesn't reflect tha game they played.
(We're still proud of 'em)

Population of Australia = 26.06 million. Population of the USA (not including the millions of illegal immigrants who do kill people when they get here)316.13 million. Yup, I would expect that the USA would have more deaths by guns (HOMICIDE, SELF INFLICTED, ACCIDENTS, POLICE SHOOTINGS)or anything else considering the number of people here (including crazies from other countries since we're still such a melting pot). I'm still pro 2nd amendment. Not sure how gun deaths and soccer relate but whatever.......

The U.S. only has 68 guns ? ! I think not. More like 68,000 guns
Tommyh
68 guns per 100,000 population.

Football and guns sometimes get together Colleen, ask the family of Andrés Escobar.

Terry;
Soccer is a sport.
Tommyh
Don't worry Terry.I agree!

Soccer is a sport.
Clearly, neither one of you grew up playing it. ... The next thing you will be clicking away at is... Hockey is not a sport either.
Keep cheering for your synchronized swimming boys. :) ... Woot!

Cmon Fish,we know about hockey,i think Aussie won gold in the men and women at the commonwealth games,however soccer is not one of our top games,our main sports are,rugby league,rugby union,aerial ping pong,cricket,tennis,swimming,then possibly soccer,however we have never shot anybody for winning or losing a game of sport,we like our guns,we won gold at the Olympics for the sport of shooting,,not for shooting soccer players or footy players..Always nice talking Fish..>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Terry...you're only gunna confuse her with the arial ping pong thing.LOL.

That might have been intentional Tom,,but the rest of it is true..>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<<

I looked it up Gents, not cofused at all. :) ... Terry you are preaching to the choir here. ... I still however believe that Soccer is the beautiful sport where guns have absolutely no place. On or off the field.
