World Cup Qualifying is about to begin for the US (I know it's lost in the lead up to the European championships). They are about to say hello to the Spice Boyz!

Two back-to-back soccer posts. I am adding my comment in honor of this rare and historic event.

That happens tomorrow when the English (myself included) go football nuts and trample all over your beautiful forum here. Oh and then go out in the first round.

Then we can post a hundred articles about how we we were robbed, how its all (insert scapegoat here)'s fault, etc etc. Actually, I'm oddly confident we'll beat France on Sunday. Unfortunately, the last time I was really confident England would win an important match was against Brazil...

Yes, but that was when you still had David "The Flapper" Seaman. Now, you have David Ja ... Oh, never mind.

Club note, I still kind of miss hearing the announcers saying "No clean sheet for Seaman" though Lehmann does sort of rhyme.

Arsenal fans are hard on their club too, we've just had a little less to complain about than Liverpool lately.
