Soccer question

[01crewcab]

Not a fan at all, but certainly very popular here in the Pacific Northwest. The Seattle Sounders have a rabid following. I"think" they had like 60,000 fans show for their friendly with Chelsea

Where did Manunited come from?

They do actually reside in Manchester now, they were originally known as Newton Heath back in the day.Newton Heath is a district outside the city of Manchester but part of greater Manchester, it is a rivalry thing been going on for years between the red side and the blue side of Manchester.
01crewcab Uniteds ground holds 75,000 and is full to capacity every home game.

Hi Firefighter,
Welcome back, hope all is okay with those fires.

Liverpool all the way for me, I'm from there originally, but live up in Scotland...

I am also a fan of Liverpool they are like the Ottawa Sens hockey team in Canada play well in the season but in the play offs they never do much .I know it is different in soccer but they both slump towards the end .Good luck they may surprise us this year .

I sawMark Hughes on tv ealier to day our time saying that the reff in the game between the to Manchester team gave united some extra time so they could win ,what do you think?

[mcfcfan]

I recording the game, it started at 12.30am NZ time and i watched it before i came to work this morning.
The score was 3-3  after the normal 90 minutes play, it was then electronically shown that the extra time played for injuries etc should be 4 minutes only.
6 and 1/2 minutes later United scored to win 4-3, they actually ended up playing almost 7 minutes extra time.
I have my opinion but it is biased, so leave it up to neturals to make their point.
We are still in 4th place though and have one game in  hand over United so time will tell i suppose.

I saw on sky sports that your team won again .I guess it pays to have aowner with deep pockets .When we were in BC we wokked with a few Ausies ,they came to Canada for 5 weeksto help outwith the fires ,there were also some people from New Zealand there also .
                                               take care

Hi Firefighter,

Yes 3-1 at home to West Ham, now three points behind Man U,and Chelsea with a game in hand, but long way to go.
Yep i heard Aussie and Kiwi's were helping out with the fires, the Aussies especially have plenty of experience.
Sending you an email shortly, re Petersons.
Cheers

Hey Firefighter,

Have you seen the latest English cup results, Man City beat Arsenal 3-0  and now have a two leg tie against Manchester United in the semi- finals, winner goes straight to grand final to be played at Wembley Stadium.
P.S. it is poring with rain here, supposed to be summer 

[firefighter]

Well I guess all that money realey helped ,but I here that money rich nation is in trouble I hope it does not hurt your team .I think it is great that thoes big teams are not doing so well ,I would sooner watch some of the lower ranked teams play each other much better soccer as for the rain we go a little snow storm today it all came in a half hour time frame not a lot but it makes driving a little challenging but we do live in Canada ,To bad for the rain at least it is not snowing.Take care firefighter
