    You are in completely the wrong notesfile! This is Football as it is
    called in the civilised world
    
    I guess you're asking about AmericaN football?

441.2gold is the causeIVOS02::TOMAN_RIThu Sep 08 1994 23:2814
    even though andrew didn't want to answer the question--I will
    
    gold was discovered in California in 1848-49 and many people from
    around the world came to find it and they were called the '49 er's' and
    so the american football team picked that name because the gold was
    discovered relatively near San Francisco

    I am glad the americans laid down for the brits yesterday in order fpr
    them to validate their new coach and players

    Rick,
                                            
    so do you realise that since the 'so-called' world champions Brazil
    could only beat the U.S by one goal and England scored two that means
    that Romario and Co should hand-over the trophy now.
    
    regards,

    to be perfectly honest I would charactorize the play of the brits as
    almost south american in nature as they had many slow buildups and
    demonstrated their superior ball skills.  The scorer(Alan??) looked
    world class to me and every bit as good as Baggio and Romario.
    
    I think their coach will do wonders for them --Of course --only time
    will tell

     I think you will find it was England you were playing.. Not Britain.!!

441.6Let's break the deadlockSTAR::CASSILYFri Sep 09 1994 02:2111
    
    OK, so the Yanks played poorly. However, I was at Foxboro a year ago
    and England played poorly. It seems that on goal differential, we are
    2-2, with all goals being scored at home (no away goals to break the
    deadlock). So, let's go for another match (maybe at a neutral venue),
    and then let's slag off one another, depending on the outcome. 
    
    [There's no way the US should defeat England on a regular basis, but on
    any given day, who knows?]

441.7Settle it my wayMASALA::AMILLARExactement ce qu&#039;il faut, Brian!Fri Sep 09 1994 08:576
    
    Since both teams are unable to score away from home, it would just be a
    0-0 draw. Therefore, this should be settled on penalties, with England
    taking their's at Wembley and the US taking their's at Foxboro. 8-))

    PS Paul, Why can't I get in to the American Football conference at the
    moment?  I have been dying to read the post mortem on the Raiders game
    with the Niners.

    Moderators,
    
    PLeaaaase get this discussion about the wrong kind of football out of
    here...
    
    This conference is about the Real game of football. Any other
    discussion should be relegated into the BLOCKHEADS::AMERICAN_GLADIATORS 
    notesfile.
