I was on yahoo.com lookin at all the latest world cup scores when I seen this quote from an American commentator describing USA's second goal against mexico;

"... Mcbride caught the playball under his soccer shoes and scanned the left zone for a wide open playman. He swung the soccer ball over the far left danger area where Reyna ensnared the ball closely to his feet, then played the soccer ball in at a horizontal angle where it was met by mr Landon Donovan and he upper bodied it into the back of the score bag..."

what a laugh... SCORE BAG!

that was probably a direct traslation from another language. probably spanish since the game was against mexico.

granted most of us dont watch soccer...but we arent THAT stupid about it

yer, but Mexican's call a goal a goal, not a score bag... it can't be a translation.

And Mexican commentators normally just shout goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaalllll!
