I am sure I look blank when Jaclyn talks about Los Ticos and El Tri. I guess one of those teams is Mexico and maybe Costa Rica, or possibly Panama, the other, but I don't know. However, her talk of Spain, Portugal and Cristiano Ronaldo makes more sense, although I don't agree.<br/><br/>"For myself, I prefer the blood and thunder aggressive English style game rather than the tippy-tappy Spanish style. You have reminded me; I saw David Beckham before he was famous, playing against my local club, although he was never as good a player as Ronaldo. I saw Paul Pogba as well; after the game he was sacked by the Manchester United manager, who objected to his dress sense, although later they spent millions of pounds to resign him!"<br/><br/>"I do agree with you about ignoring the pundits, or talking heads, and just watching the game. I think Robbie talks more sense than they do! However, because the World Cup in Qatar will be in the winter, it will be only 25 Celsius or so, similar to what it was in Russia. One of the customers here told me that - Mike, you know him? I was very doubtful, but checked and he was correct."<br/><br/>OOC Actually I was corrected on a football forum
