Erm, perhaps because they were going to play the Germans? Certainly, everyone I know was hoping for a Brazil win in the final, which runs counter to the normal English instinct to support the underdog. The US caused a divide in the office BTW, with about half cheering them on due to their underdog status in football, and about half cheering their opponents due to their percieved top-dog status in most other global sports. Of course, when they played Germany we all supported them ;-) Cheers - Dave _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
