Is that why everyone gave me funny looks last Tuesday in the "Presse Cafe" when i kep yelling]"Cmon the socceroos!"?
Ah, that was the Swederland game.

I think it's the other way around, but we don't see Australian teams very often.
(You/they can have the gold colours when we are using blue shirts; though me thinks they should avoid it, hint Ger-Swe.)

Re: Soccer thingy
I understand that England, France and Croatia are still in the mix. And the other is, I think, Belgium?

Re: Soccer thingy
My commiserations to England; hard work, great first half.
(I looked forward to a final between England and Belgium ... But it wasn't to be; but we'll get a third place, bronze, play-off. 
)
(I know it is really tough now for some, but it could be worse; our last final was in '58, and we were hosts but lost to Brazil with 5-2.)

We have some Loungers from France, but they don't participate (at least not actively) in Scuttlebutt. There might be Croatian Loungers, but I don't know of any.GeoffW wrote:I suspect there's no loungers from France or Croatia to congratulate?

I have a tenuous connection with both nationalities.
My daughter has a Croatian partner, my nephew has a French partner.

Re: Soccer thingy
Fortunately they both live a fair distance away from us. But I'll still claim that I have a reason for supporting that team, no matter who wins.
Besides, the games are at 4 am in our time zone. And it's the middle of winter. Sensible people won't be watching.

Chris is joking. He means it in the sense of "I traveled from France to Canada"...
