On this subject, I can't believe you're not in here gloating, Emma.

Does this mean I'm going to have to separate you two?

No, but the might of Monty Panesar and Ryan Sidebottom and maybe, just maybe Andrew 'Freddie' Flintofff might make it the double! That is if it stops raining anytime in the next six weeks or so.
Maybe we'll go to the Twenty20 at Old Trafford - that'll be an evening game here.

And what sport is this again?
I know it's blasphemy for me asking, and I should know, but I don't and I'm too curious now :)

Quote from: "Stasha"And what sport is this again?This is cricket, but we're happy to grumble at each other over almost any sport event between the countries.
Here's a question for you: Does the US ever play sport with other countries? Team sports?

I think Soccer is the big country against country sport, and hockey...
Honestly though, I'm not a big sport person except for around Olympic season, then that patriotic sports fan in me comes out.

Although they are trying to make baseball and basketball big international competition sports. I think just to give the Americans a chance ;)

Yeah, I think the US played Japan recently?
I got to watch a baseball match between Cuba and Japan in the 96 Olympics. I lived in Atlanta and was a volunteer (though the reason I got to go to the game was because some friends from chuch got us tickets). I wore my Japanese hat and had a Cuba and Japanese flag. I rooted for the 'offensive' team. :-D

Football is huge!!! We were flipping between matches on Wednesday. France vs England and Lwcsemburg vs Cymru (Luxembourg vs Wales - it was on the Welsh language channel). Scotland and Northern Ireland played as well.
There is a Euro 2008 tournament this year, but England didn't make it thanks to Scott Carson's idiocy in goal! World Cup qualifiers start in September for South Africa 2010.
And there's Rugby too, but I won't mention that as Jane might set the All Blacks on me and they're big and scary!!!

Oh, I've heard about that!
In fact, I think ahighschool American Football team did that around here last year. I think they did it to intimdate their rival teams. :)
