[20:02] <switchgirl_> anyone watching the match England Vs USA? (we're so ganna whoop ya :P ) anyone watching it on twitter? and are youtube streaming it? :s
[20:03] <JanC> switchgirl_: Belgian TV are streaming it  ;)
[20:03] <IdleOne> watching it o/
[20:03] <JanC> (with commentary in Dutch)
[20:03] <Pendulum> I'm also watching (not online)
[20:04] <JanC> the US doesn't play too bad BTW (e.g. their keeper)
[20:04] <switchgirl_> JanC, i know
[20:05] <switchgirl_> JanC, i used to live near Whitehaven.... still at war with the republic of america
[20:06] <switchgirl_> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitehaven#History
[20:06] <JanC> switchgirl_: I think that's a bit silly  ;)
[20:07] <JanC> England has more players with high level experience, so in theory they have the advantage
[20:07] <switchgirl_> JanC, behind the irc/tcp/ip/ monitor i am smiling and laughing at myself
[20:07] <switchgirl_> JanC, we invented many games (including baseball)
[20:07] <switchgirl_> i'm glad it brings people together
[20:08] <switchgirl_> the Ubuntu is strong with people :)
[20:08] <JanC> I'm not sure who invented baseball really...  ;)
[20:10] <JanC> according to wikipedia, the oldest mention of a similar game was played in France  ;)
[20:11] <JanC> woops 1-1
[20:12] <JanC> seems like one of the US team's strengths is the England team's weakness (the keeper...)
[20:12] <Pendulum> that's gotta feel vindicating for Dempsey who gets really dumped on by Americans
[20:17] <switchgirl_> wikipedia is wrong i asked my friend - a Dr in History
[20:18] <JanC> switchgirl_: wikipedia makes clear it's a game that bears some similarities to baseball, it wasn't baseball of course
[20:21] <JanC> Pendulum: it was a lucky goal really, but maybe he deserves the luck  ☺
[20:22] <Pendulum> JanC: yep, totally a lucky goal. but a goal nonetheless.
[20:23] <JanC> for the tournament it doesn't matter of course
[20:26] <JanC> there is a keeper in the TV-studio here in Belgium who talks about how it must feel to be that keeper making that mistake...
[20:27] <pleia2> switchgirl_: I invited you to -women (so this conversation can go there ;))
[20:27] <JanC> yeah, maybe that's a good idea
[20:27] <JanC> ;)
[20:28] <pleia2> I mentioned this in the other channel but not here - we're working with the sysadmins regarding the wiki, looks like they'll be moving it to another server so a couple of us can have shell access to it \o/
[20:29] <pleia2> which means we have more control - like to lock down the whole thing - than regular web-based wiki admins have
[20:29] <pleia2> plus we'll be able to read access logs
[20:29] <pleia2> and still, if you see something that needs to be changed until this is sorted, just nudge me, elky or akgraner (I'm also willing to add more admins)
[20:33] <JanC> switchgirl_: please join #ubuntu-women  ☺
