kegtapr Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 I wouldn't say average. Italy's national team is the most expensive roster in the WC. 718541[/snapback] So they're the Yankees of "soccer." Like I needed another reason to hate them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linksfiend Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 I too concur that France would be a stronger opponent...As I watch the Portugese play all I can think is that Greg Louganis must be a national hero....that and the 'crybaby' attitude of the Portugese makes me say "viva la Bleu..."

ajzepp Posted July 5, 2006 Author Share Posted July 5, 2006 I think the Dutch have something similar to the non-fruit version. It's called 'ollie bollen' (not enirely sure of the spelling --- that's just how it was pronounced by my grandparents when they used to make it over the stove). There's a mix of batter, to which they usually put in some raisins and it's rolled up in about meatball-sized balls and fried in oil. I think it probably does call for powdered sugar, but my grandmother has diabetes, so that means no one else can have sugar in their house either. I'll have to get that recipie. That was always a special day when they made those. 718430[/snapback] Yeah, that actually sounds pretty damn good too And I'm betting that if we get a hold of the recipes, you could try to make yours and I could try to make mine until our heart's content, but they'd still taste nothing like when "grandma" used to make it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meazza Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 In other words, you wouldn't say "average". You'd say "average and overpriced". 718544[/snapback] Would you say that Buffon, Cannavaro and Zambrotta are worth every penny though. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
