    Thank you very much to everyone for the nice messages of welcome. I am not quite sure what “there goes the neighbourhood” means, but I wonder if the writer is a bit worried about an invasion of the forum by football-illiterate newcombers.
    My initial post was really only a reaction to Connie-Jo’s good work for Callum and the fact that I had to give her upsetting news about the parcel. I am still much too ignorant of AFL to take part in forums and I will leave that part to my offspring.
    I know a lot more about soccer (as I grew up in Europe) and at the moment it is soccer fever which has some Australians in its grasp. In about two weeks NFL talk in our house will probably go on the backburner a little because we will be preoccupied with the soccer World Cup. To our dismay our two favourite teams – Germany and Australia – are in one group and are playing against each other in the first match. Also South Africa is not in our time zone so we will have to get up at 3 or 4 am to see some of the matches live. It is such a shame that Beckham and Ballack (German captain) are out injured. I imagine in the US David Beckham is known more for his wife, but for us he is just a good soccer player and a good captain of the UK team. I really feel sorry for any good player who has to miss a big event like this through, be it soccer or AFL. I imagine there have been quite a few football players in the same situation and missed the Superbowl, which I suppose is the same as missing a World cup. Oh, I hope I didn’t violate the rules by talking soccer. But it certainly is handy that the soccer is on now and not when it is regular NFL season.
    Cheers from Sydney, and thanks again to all of you.
    Aussie’s mum, Barbara

    That was just a small attempt at humor; can’t take what some folks say here too seriously. :bananen_smilies046:
