Not as much as most countries but there's some! The MLS Vancouver Whitecaps usually get 20-25,000 fans a match. I went to a women's Olympic qualifying tournament a couple of years ago and that final sold out with 25,000.

Host team Brasil destroyed by Germany 7-1. Brasilians are going to be pretty miffed!

The last time Brasil lost a competitive match at home was in 1975.

I am so surprised by the final score in this game Romero..



I read that Brazil would be without their star stryker as well as their team captain, but don't think anyone predicted such a lopsided loss?

Nobody would have ever predicted that lopsided of a loss! There have been scores like that in the World Cup before, but always with good teams against poor teams. Germany and Brasil are ranked #2 and #3 in the world.



Losing two of their stars certainly didn't help, but Brasil started the match playing too aggressively. Germany took advantage as Brasil's defence didn't seem to be too concerned about defence. The team soon fell completely apart.

Who is ranked number one if not Brazil?

My husband is Dutch, so I don't think I need to tell anyone what team he is supporting.

So it's Brazil vs Netherlands for 3rd place on Saturday and Germany vs Argentina for the Cup on Sunday.



FIFA rankings are based on a kind of complicated system in which points are awarded for wins, importance of match(exhibition, qualifier or final), strength of opposing team and strength of confederation(division) over the past twelve months.



Winning the World Cup actually only gets a few extra points. That seems strange but I guess we can't rank a team based on one game out of a year.

QuoteJuly 16, 2011



North Korea officials blamed traditional musk deer gland medicine used after a lightning strike for five positive tests for steroids at the Women's World Cup, the biggest soccer doping scandal at a major tournament in 17 years.



After two players were caught during the tournament this month, FIFA president Sepp Blatter said Saturday the world soccer governing body took the unprecedented step of testing the rest of the North Korean squad and found three more positive results.



A North Korean delegation told Blatter and the head of FIFA's medical committee on Saturday that the steroids were accidentally taken with traditional Chinese medicines based on the deer glands.

Ah, the old 'steroids were accidentally taken with traditional Chinese medicines based on deer glands after we were hit by lightning' excuse. A classic!

American and Canadian football are derived from rugby. I hated playing it in high school. I had always thought the backward passes and scrums were stupid.

I'm glad you brought up the obvious. I was in Victoria last year, a city with a large homeless population(or at least appears that way) and what did I see? Young, able-bodied white beggars. Toronto, same shit, but different fucking pile. Whites and not Aboriginals are the laziest, neediest, most pathetic sacks of shit in Canada.
