<FX8500G> hi there.
<esco2> the last time we met the US it was 0-0
<esco2> that was 98
<esco2> and hmm oh dear we have met turkey once and lost 4-2 but that was 42
years ago so it doesnt count
<^Senator> 4-2 to Turkey?!?
<^Senator> what a disgrace!
<^Senator> you ought to be ashamed of yourselves
<^Senator> silly Scots
<^Senator> etc etc
<esco2> heh
<FX8500G> Sen: 42 years ago Turkey was a good team.
<FX8500G> our national team was bad only in 70s and 80s
<^Senator> FX....I really have no idea....I'm just trying to put Connolly on the
spot here
<FX8500G> I remember the day we lost 8-0 to england.
<FX8500G> hehe :)
<^Senator> I've been trying it with Khris, but he just gets mad and goes off
<FX8500G> LOL
<^Senator> and Connolly's a better sport
<^Senator> so, I'm nattering at him
<FX8500G> khris is a football fanatic. :)
<khristian> your words don't offend me
<esco2> let me check spain
<esco2> hah
<esco2> 0-0
<esco2> in madrid in 1988
<esco2> last time we met that is
* ^Senator is disappointed
<^Senator> Spain are a pushover....why couldn't you beat them ?
<^Senator> ;)
<esco2> heh
<khristian> noooooooo
<khristian> aaaaaarghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
<khristian> oaohaohaoooooooooooo
<esco2> spain's opponents will be decided tomorrow
<esco2> italy or korea
<FX8500G> we'll beat Japan tomorrow, and then Senegal.. and then??
<esco2> you know the soccer discussion in here is far more rational than in #soccer
<esco2> and then brazil FX
<^Senator> naturally...we're far more rational people
<^Senator> except when Khris has a fit as he did above
<esco2> no doubt that Brazil will be lining up in the semi finals
<khristian> i'm afraid hooligans are not included
<^Senator> oh fiddlesticks
<khristian> in terms of rationality
<^Senator> we don't have to worry about hooligans now Khris...Scotland aren't at
the WC
