I hate it when someone says something that I do not understand. Then I have to go and look it up.
A game closest to modern football was invented by the Chinese around 250 B.C. The English version started around the 9th century. It became more popular and schools had teams, by the 17th century. After FIFA was formed, the first World Cup was held in 1930.
"The Roast Beefs" is a mild demeaning term for the British. Just as "The Frogs" is a term for the French. Sometimes people refer to people in other countries based on what they eat. I do not know what you call Americans, we mostly eat junk food. Now you've had your daily dose of TMI (too much information.)
I live near Washington DC now, but have lived in several states in the U.S. But none of us on this forum should give out our true identities. This is a great place to feel free to talk about sex and the beautiful women that Pierre brings into his lair. But I have found that our conversations show up in other places on the internet. You may have an employer that is not as liberal as you are. If you are like me, you want to keep your job.
As to knicknames. During our Revolutionary War, There was a popular song: "Yankee Doodle". The British derisivly called us "Yankee Doodles". The name was shortened to Yankee, and it stuck. During the First World War there was a popular song "The Yanks are Coming". Also the British had a saying about what they did not like about the troops that we sent to England before they went to fight in Europe.

Great, because I seen the match and i WILL see the casting, so I am in a great situation!!
It was a tough game, Germany got quite under pressure from Ghana (far more than I expected) till good old Miro Klose saved the team.
And Good old Miro still is able to do the goal celebtration flip!!

It was a great game. And I am amazed at how they are able to kick a curve ball and have it go right where they want.
I understand why the stars are paid so much money. They are worth it.

Germany 1 USA 0.
But because of the rules we still advance. At least Germany did not kick our ass. It was pretty close.
We Americans have come a log way since I was in high school, (back in the Dark Ages). We call it soccer, because there already was a game called football. During gym period the teacher explained the rules of the game and how teamwork was very important. I understood and stood near the sidelines ready to go. As soon as he blew the whistle, everyone else made a mad dash for the ball. The crowd around the ball was as packed as a drunken crowd at a "Heavy Metal" concert. The ball did not move as everyone kicked each others shins. I waited for the ball that never appeared. I and the goalies had nothing to do. Another hour of my life wasted.
