I have been watching the UEFA tourney and the Copa America as well. A 16 year old kid scored a goal for Spain earlier to knock France out of the finals. Great soccer/football though I get a bit irritated by the diving and writhing in pain at the slightest touch. I know it is gamesmanship but I think a rule change should be made to minimize that nonsense. In hockey, if a player dives, they get a 2 minute penalty and those men take some serious abuse and play on.Big football game going on tomorrow night in Germany (8pm GMT) - ENGLAND v HOLLAND - in the semi-finals of the European Cup - lots of people getting all excited about it - and I have family in both nations - so I'll just be kinda neutral - and enjoy the game for what it is -
