Soccer Anybody?

Wow I see

[kevinmiller]

I like to play it but I hate watching any sport. :)

I understand. Yesterday I watched a soccer game. Singapore versus Indonesia. Southeast Asian Cup group game. It ended 2-2. But I can tell you... the smokes were terrible... many people were lighting up!

[kevinmiller]

Is it in Singapore like it is in Korea where it is shameful for a woman to smoke?

And didn't Korea win the world cup against Japan in like 2004?

[ltl]

Not really. I think about 20% of the population smokes. Although predominantly men, the numbers of women - especially young women - smoking has increased steadily.

No, Korea never won the World Cup at all. They got 4th in the year 2002 when they were co-hosts with Japan.

[kevinmiller]

Oh, I thought it was the World Cup. I was told that they played Japan in Seoul and beat Japan. There was blood running very high at that game, Japan being the opponent.

Ah, you mean Football... Yes, being English, I am a big footy fan.

It was the English FA Cup Final yesterday (Saturday 19th May), which is the world's biggest football final (watched by over 2 billion people).

Chelsea won 1-0 against Manchester United.

My team is Wolverhampton Wanderers, who are in the second tier of English football, the Championship.

Update: It was announced today that my team, Wolverhampton Wanderers, have been taken over by property developer Steve Morgan. Details below.
