Status: offline 		Thanks for the interesting perspective and commentary from the other side of the pond. To be honest I am not sufficiently fussed to make a wager. Personally I think that US football will come through this but as said, I am speaking from this side of the Atlantic and am not that close to what is going on, so may be I've got it wrong.

End of the day, the US is of a size that makes their participation something that is wanted more than not, it adds value. But like F1 (and even more so), football is sufficiently well established all around the globe that the sport doesn't need US participation to remain strong and growing.

So perhaps my comment was more in hope than founded in reality, but either way, and as a certain diva once warbled, I (Association Football) will survive

Now, the big question - will Spurs be Spursy and snatch defeat from the jaws of victory (qualification for the knockout stages).

I suspect its going to come down to the final round of matches. Spurs will lose the next two games (Real Madrid (home) and Dortmund (away) and so have to beat Apoel....at home.... no pressure....but then hope Dortmund don't beat Madrid.

Most supporters of normal teams would look at the table this morning, off the back of a great result at the Bernebeu, and be happy and confident of progression. However I support Spurs. I hate football

Sweden vs Italy - that's a bit of a shocker. Come on Sweden!

Northern Ireland vs Switzerland - tough one for the Irish, but then any draw would have been.

Croatia vs Greece - would be a shame not to have Croatia's great kit at the World Cup.

Denmark vs Republic of Ireland - I suppose I have to want the Irish but Eriksen is a Spurs player

It was one word.... bleeped out in English but later I realized that it wasn't bleeped out in German. Since this is family friendly forum I thought it best to remove the link to the video. It was a very funny video though ...

The previous poster changed the title back to the old European Championships for some reason. I just switched it back.

I suggest you take a look even if you do not like football.

Two World Cup wins now! The latest comes courtesy of the Under-17's. 2-0 down against Spain. They win 2-5!!

I hate stooooopid club football , but suddenly I like International football at youth level

I appreciate the sentiment, but this is not required. It was merely the start of my prophecy coming true.....

Football is such a stupid, ridiculous game that is not worth the time and angst that it brings. Spurs, Fulham, Sheffield Wednesday, Plymouth, Exeter, Torquay - what have they got in common? Yep, that's right, I support the first and have a soft spot for the remainder - and guess what? They are all rubbish

Your club is ranked as the 22nd best in Europe. Most fans would cry of joy if their club was on the top 25 list.
