Saturday - 5th Floor Common Room - 10:30am FHT- end of the game

Jul 01, 2006 10:49

Peter hadn't been able to sleep before the game though World Cup nerves weren't what were keeping him awake. In any case, he'd put the time to good use by getting doughnuts, pasties, and orange juice and putting them out on the Common Room table.

England vs. Portugal. And it was even more important that England win since Germany had beaten ( Read more... )

Half-time! once_a_king July 1 2006, 16:03:47 UTC

And it's 0-0. Portugal has a slightly higher possession percentage, but it's been an even game thus far.

Molly frowned. "Now I have to go to cheerleader practice. I wish they would have scored in the first half." She stood up with a sigh. "Bye, Peter. Thank you for breakfast. Go, England!"

Re: Half-time! once_a_king July 1 2006, 16:14:16 UTC

"Bye Molly," Peter replied. "Cheer well! And if you hear cheering from here? England scored."

Re: Half-time! bruiser_in_pink July 1 2006, 16:15:31 UTC

"I hope to hear it then. Bye!" Molly waved as she left the room.

Conner leaned forward to watch the halftime show. "Oooh. Julie Foudy."

Re: Half-time! once_a_king July 1 2006, 16:20:02 UTC

"Who's that?" Peter asked.

"Midfielder. Only one of the best women's soccer players in history," Conner explained. "Two-time Olympic gold medalist, and part of two Women's World Cup championship teams. When I left home she'd just recently retired, but she played on the US national team for, like, seventeen years. And now she's got a chain of soccer camps, so she's sort of one of my heroes."

Re: Half-time! once_a_king July 1 2006, 16:53:20 UTC

"Seriously?" Peter asked. "I saw that there were women's teams, but are they actually any good." He looked slightly abashed. "I don't mean to be insulting to them, just..."

Re: Half-time! connernotconnor July 1 2006, 18:13:24 UTC

"Don't worry about it. I thought the same thing a few years ago," Conner replied. "But yeah, they're really good. And then there was the '99 Women's World Cup, and Brandi Chastain taking her shirt off after they beat China, and . . ."

His eyes glazed over briefly before he shook himself. "Sorry. Anyway, yeah, they're good. There was a women's pro league for a few years here, too, but they just couldn't get the support to keep going."

Re: Half-time! once_a_king July 1 2006, 18:30:14 UTC

"So they'd play next year then?" Peter said thoughtfully. "If their World Cup is the year after the mens? It would be interesting to watch, at least."

He grinned at Conner's reaction. "Sounds like they are very good."
