    I have to use the "live update" feature for scores. The US can't afford to lose to Slovenia today or we're done.
    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
    - -- Aristotle

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

    Surprisingly, considering we fought two world wars with them, not really.

    We don't like the Argies, but the Bosche we take the mickey (box heads, no sense of humour) but there is no animosity.

    We just don't like to see them better us at footie....

    You need to be more like us Micks and hold a grudge, at least for three or four generations.

    You were robbed mate. Should have been 3-2, and would have been an awesome come-back...
