So, what happens?
Plus they're paid too much for what they do (in general, not England) - is there a point in all of this?
Just a question that I have been thinking about
Basically there isn't enough international attention on hockey in europe and the world suffers because of it.
Sad. Hockey seems very fun. Apparently the team from my city wins regularly, and it does seem fun. Instead of chasing a ball for 90+ minutes... (not complaining)

Don't try to understand it... Enjoy it.
I tried. My family (back when I could call them that) were so engrossed in it. I don't know how an advesary making a goal would make you so angry. That's a game. Most people didn't bet either... Maybe a parallel with Disco can be done, but, then, it's a game. You just know it and, you'll try better next time.
Next match, I'll try to watch, what's the next and when? Who against who?

Quite entertaining second half. England put up a good fight but ultimately Spain were the better team and deserved to win it. Great football from Spain throughout the tournament.
