This is a man who takes his statistics very seriously

I'm guessing a few people will have seen this before, but it's an interesting read nevertheless.

France aren't the women's champions anymore, I saw them get battered by the Germans in Warrington this afternoon.

hmmmm... they never were! this would have been their first time out of first round, but they really left their chances in the norway match, where they should have won but clumsily let in a late equalizer...

hmmm... now i see... that site wouldn't open for me at first...

now some things are a waste of time, others are a complete waste of time, but this fellow has discovered the limpid and unadulterated waste of incommensurable oodles of time! hats off!

France were lucky to hold onto a draw against Norway- for the last twenty minutes the Norweigans bombarded their goal much the same way the Germans did, but with less success. if Norway had a finisher of the quality of the Germans, then France would've lost that one too. They are a good side, but unfortunately not quite good enough at the moment. Better than England though.
