Well, thanx. Perhaps "nicely" isn't the best word to describe the Danish team's effort. I think "sub-average" is better. It's effort in this world cup was by no means up to standard (although it got further than it's been able to on previous occasions). Our team lacked aggresion and tecnique. Plain and simple. In fact, I think the Danish team is the only one which has made it a strategy to pass the ball backwards gradually all the way to the keeper, and then hope that he can kick it further up than the rest of the team managed to get it on their own. *sigh*

Hey, I'm a heterosexual woman. I'll make any argument in favor of the "better-looking" guy teams that I like! :) (But they also played nicely, for the short amount that I saw them.) Julia
