My father, when I was growing up was a huge Arsenal fan. I, being a troublemaker, decided to root for Liverpool, since, in the mid-eighties, it was always Liverpool and Arsenal fighting it out for the cup. this is Pre-Beckham! (I knew who he was before he married Posh Spice, too). My mom is a Man-U Fan....for Rinaldo.![]()
That's how I became a Red Wings fan, too. my brother, for some reason, was a huge Blackhawks fan (I grew up on Long Island, and my father is an Islanders fan). Since the Red Wings were the blackhawks biggest rivals, I became a red Wings fan.![]()
The guy with my FAVORITE NAME growing up was Burrachaga from Argentina's world cup team. (I probably spelled his name completely wrong). We used to watch world cup soccer on the spanish channel here, Univision...it was the only channel that got it. lol.
Funny story!
I blogged about soccer through the whole world cup. I used to play, ref, and coach soccer. I played soccer in college. I watch TAPE for soccer, lol. I know soccer.
ANYWAY, some British guy took offense that some ignorant GIRL from the US would have the nerve to say anything about Football (soccer), as sport she obviously knew nothing about, and started flaming my blog....he was also a huge Arsenal fan.....I schooled him badly. Nothing like a chick spewing technical soccer jargon at you, and proving she knows what she's talking about...

I never had as many hits to my blog as I did for the two weeks following that blog.....I ended up taking it down, it caused such a stir. I felt bad, because he had posted using his real name and email, and apparently he was really being ragged in the UK by his mates.
Arsenal fan....![]()
BIL is a Chelsea fan. He lives near their stadium. He wo't talk to me right now.![]()

Good thing the game is now....otherwise work would have shut down for the day there.....can't wait to see what happens forthe final...too bad it's in Moscow.

I see it's gone into extra time... tense stuff! What channel you watching it through, you got all the typical english commentators?
