A new world fitball power is born!

What I wanna see is the U.S. players starting to use just ONE name. Adds to the glamour.

True story: went to a Chinese take-away yesterday, and ordered while the staff were all glued to a giant TV screen. Being the affable sort that I am I started chatting and cheering, complimenting the Chinese team on it's passing etc. Thought to myself: It's still nil-nil, these folks should be a little more positive about their team. As I left, I wished them good luck, and said, It looked to me that they might pull it off. When I got home, I found out that the game (and loss) had been over for hours, and they'd been watching the REPLAY. I'm sure they were all VERY impressed with my technical knowledge.

Cheers

Rick
