That's normal. I remember, when I was at highschool I saw an announcement at our school : "USA seek for good girl football player students.". If your people will like football one day, your team can be champion at man world cup. You have money and 250 million people. Your people can do sport easly... Just one of our university has swimming pool there. I know even your elementary schools have... My daughter at elementary school. We're in Istanbul!.. There isn't any sport room or field at her school...

>>I refereed this afternoon and one of my ARs was a woman who was tremendously excited about the outcome. A few years ago when many of the women on the U.S. team were juniors she and her husband served as chaperones while they were playing in a tournament in Chicago. She said they were delightful young ladies and surprisingly like male athletes -- self-confident to the point of cockiness, raucous, amorous. She said one of them (she said the name but I'm not going to repeat it <g>) who had a boyfriend back in California said if she didn't see him again soon she was going to burst. Terri said they were doing Indian leg wrestling on the rug.
