The New Zealand women's soccer team has pulled off a major upset in South Korea.
The Football Ferns have beaten South American champion Argentina 1-0 at the Peace Queen Cup. The goal was scored by Amber Hearn in the 15th minute.
New Zealand coach John Herdman says the Peace Queen Cup is the second biggest tournament behind the World Cup.
IN YOUR FACE, EL PILA! IS THERE A SPORT AT WHICH YOUR NATION'S WOMEN DON'T SUCK? OH YEAH!

Football FERNS

[Pub Lover]

It's the naming system. The Ferns part means it's the girls team. The Football means that NZ cunts think soccer is so crappy it doesn't deserve a colour. For example Rugby's Black Ferns, Netball's Silver Ferns, & Cricket's White Ferns.

Why not the Poppys?

[Pub Lover]

Because poppies aren't a significant cultural symbol here?

Well, they are, but they represent death. :(

You'd have to ask some Moari why they cream themselves over ferns, except they wouldn't know as they're barely literate thanks to decades of European colonial abuse.

AND FOOTBALL.

Shut up with you shit.

I thought it was spelled futbol

I don't think New Zealand speaks a variation of Spanish.

I labeled the thread Soccer to avoid this argument about football. :(

Someone poke an Australian so he can jabber on about Aussie Rules. :rolleyes


I knew I should've made the thread about the Olympics. The woman's basketball groups were announced today. :(

The USA Men's Baxetball is absolutely stacked. Lebron, Kobe, Howard, and Anthony as 4 of your starters? Also Chris Paul and Dewayne Wade likely coming off the bench?This team will steamroll it's way to the Gold. I'm so sure of it that if they don't win the Gold, I WILL NEVER POST HERE AGAIN.

ps - 2004's bronze winning squad sucked balls and is a much inferior team to this rendition.

The Football Ferns have beaten South American champion Argentina 1-0 at the Peace Queen Cup

Argentina had never won a female soccer tournament, south american champions? where did you get this?>:

BTW, one thing that i like of "futbol" is the commentaries, when the players do a score the commentary man shout: "GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA L!!!!!!!!"

On November 26, 2006, in the finals of the 2006 Sudamericano Femenino, Argentina beat Brazil, 2-0, to take the title (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argentina_women's_national_football_team).

The Sudamericano Femenino is the main competition in women's football (soccer) between national teams of the South American Football Confederation (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudamericano_Femenino).

I was going to put up a picture here of Jocko, but damned if I can't find a good one other than a tiny pic of him holding a giant Energizer battery

By the way, you're right, we should have an Olympics thread.
