"That's all I will say on the matter as this thread is about an Afghan soccer team, not about politics. Too bad you didn't comment on what is really important." - unprovoked comment
". and please stop trying to bait me into a political argument" - unprovoked comment
"Are you drunk?" - unprovoked comment
"You're worse than a beach hawker." - unprovoked comment.
Klister - If you insult someone or are rude to them (unprovoked) do you expect no comeback? If your polite then no problem - but every post you make you are rude. I just asked a simple question which you answered but you added your snide remark. May be you need an anger management course? (chill out man) |

Jockey, when you make your posts, half the time I don't know whether you are on a wind up or being serious?
Do you? |

I’ve just had a look around the net during an idle moment and I can now tell you that there are over 500 women registered as players in Afghanistan with 23 female clubs in Kabul.
Last year the women’s national team lost 1-0 in the final at a competition in Pakistan where they were playing as guests. |

I found that as well - but nothing about the European Tour. However, it is quite enlightening to see them moving out of the dark ages.
A colleague of mine returned from Afghanistan only this week. He has told us how things are really coming together over there now, and the basic infrastructure has improved dramatically. _________________ Green Army position 21

Thanks Steve
It was nice to them, some without any headgear at all. Absolutely loved photo number 7 - I think somebody airbrushed out the horses  _________________ Green Army position 21

They definitely look like they need horses in that shot, it must be from playing that Afghan game where you play polo with a dead goat.
Incidentally did you notice the sub-heading-“Bend it in Baden-Wurttemberg.”
Almost a sense of humour from Der Spiegel! |

You noticed too huh? It does seem like someone here has a bit of an attitude problem.
