rmered Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 The Australian soccer team had a curse put on them in 1974 by a witch doctor in Africa.They had already won their way through to the World Cup, but didn't win a game, and haven't qualified for the World Cup since, despite being consistently listed as being in the top 30, and currently top 20 countries in the world at soccer. Oh, and I've got a site.Footy Jumpers Dot Com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess FIFA doesn't recognise Palau, Niue and 16 other nations. Imagine not recognising that soccer giant Palau!!(They've played one game of soccer, ever, and lost 2-15 to Guam)I say rate the Aussies 20, not 64. FIFA doesn't know soccer.PS One day a few years ago we beat the Eastern Samoa 31 - 0, and that was two days after we beat Tonga 22 - 0.53 goals in three days!

GeorgesL Posted November 4, 2004 Share Posted November 4, 2004 Chicago has the two longest droughts in baseball, and the longest in hockey... good times in the windy city. Thank God I'm not a Chicago fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STL FANATIC Posted November 4, 2004 Share Posted November 4, 2004 3. St. Louis BluesNoneThe Curse with No NameMaking the playoffs each of the past 25 years and never even reaching the Finals? It's no wonder Blues fans refuse to even mention this curse. That's a sad one. Thirty-six years of existance, no Cups. The first three years we made the finals, but were swept every year. Some people think maybe it's the curse of Scotty Bowman. I believe he was let go after those three finals appearance. Of course he's had great success since including a lot of beating up on the Blues. The thing is, there is so much crazy and unfortunate stuff that has happened to this team, and we've got nothing. It's really weird. A radio station was reading off all kinds of stuff that's happened to the Blues after the Mike Danton incident, and it does seem as if something's up.Yet, I don't believe in this curse if any. We're gonna win some day. JUSTIN STRIEBEL | PORTFOLIO | RESUME | CONTACT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OMMF Posted November 4, 2004 Share Posted November 4, 2004 Chicago has the two longest droughts in baseball, and the longest in hockey... good times in the windy city. But 6 NBA championships in the last 15 years. They haven't been exactly starved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
