Yep you are right Kenelly. Evidently the war wasn't totally over a socccer game but it was the spark. Your question.

What two countrys went to war (actual real fighting war with casualtys) after a soccer game ended in controversy?

I'll have a guess at 3 by the Detroit Pistons back in the 80's.

The Tri Nations is as good as won by New Zealand now. At least some silverware is coming back to where it belongs. 4 tries and winning by 26 points is next to impossible in Jo'burg. No middle aged, fat, mad Jarpie supporters will be needed to come to the Springboks aid this week.

Kemal is right. It was France which is a good guess because of the home ground advantage. You'd think that they would have been good enough to beat the US even that long ago. For a bit of trainspotting Romania got the bronze. Your question now Kemal.

I think Kemal is right about the merchandising side for a club. A footballer is now a selling product for a club and his on field performance is only half of what a club pays for. As the worlds best footballing product at the moment Ronaldo could well be worth the 100000000 that Real will pay...

No it is not New Zealand or England. Both did not even compete in that event.

Because I am a rugby fan it will be a rugby question but the Americans should still be able to have a go. Who did the USA beat in the final of the 1924 Olympics in Paris to win the gold medal?:D

US Open is Flushing Meadows or now the Arthur Ashe stadium I think and Aussie Open is the National Tennis Center or the old Flinders Park.

Yeah, heres one. Women run the country. Three years in a row the Aussies have won the Blesisloe cup like this now. Where is the justice?

God I hope New Zealand wins on Saturday. It will give us a good come back as to why we are so crap at the Commonmwealth Games. We only care about rugby.

Good to see a couple of people discussing rugby here. Here's one more. Lineouts are a problem but the AB's have a bad repuatation with them so other teams are always more agressive contesting lineouts against us. Once that bad reputation has been put to rest (hopefully that will be in Sydney)...

Rugby is my favourite game to play and watch. Especially when your national team (The All Blacks) beat other countries like South Africa, Australia and England . Very Nationalistic but with the violence confined to on the field action.
