UncleSox,,,,yeah,,,,i will be keeping track of Bayen Munich that's one of my favorite teams. I try to keep up on the English teams...I was a QPR fan for a long time,,,but also like the Spurs. so there will be something to watch. yeah, i have no idea why i'm ignorant about Henry... I would like to have that Italian I mean Buffon! goldie somewhere over here in the MLS huh? wow he is amazing ...must have the best eye to object or whatever they call it coordination i've ever seen...! but to do any of the viewing i still have to look into what Direct TV has to offer to watch these games. I don't want Sendanta (sp) because I think that's in German only.

Live online streaming... that's the way to go. Most of the channels available are in Chinese (ocasionally they'll use Sky Sports' feed), but you get just about every big match in the Premiership, Spanish La Liga and Italian Serie A. I also noticed quite a few Bayern Munich games as well. And all the big Champions League ties!! But if you don't want to watch from your computer screen, DirecTV is the best choice as they're the only available outlet for Setanta Sports at the moment. Setanta is an English language network and the only reason why they're doing the World Cup in German is because ESPN/ABC has the exclusive English-language rights to the World Cup in the U.S. Between FoxSoccerChannel and Setanta, you're Premiership fix should be more than satisfied. GolTV is another sawker network and has La Liga and Serie A. (You can watch in either Spanish or English) Bundesliga will likely not be available in the U.S. for at least the first half of the season. (FOX feels it costs too much) DirecTV also has ESPN Deportes, which is Spanish language but OH! all those Champions League matches they show! In August I'll try to remember to remind you about live online streaming and how to go about it. It's how I watched all those friendlies the month leading up to the World Cup. The whole thing has become so addicting that it's almost become a bit of a hobby for me.

Tetra?! Sounds like you're saying that you don't want them to win their third World Cup. Too late for that. They won their third in 1982 (following 1934 and 193 2006 would be Italy's fourth World Cup... and put them one behind Brasil.

Sorry. ops: Tetra sounds like three. Cuatra (if that word exists in some language) sounds more like four.

Tetra, as strange as it sounds, is indeed four. I think it's Greek, no? Quatre (French), quatro (Italian) is also four.

Penta does to me. A pentagon has five sides. Like the Pentagon building in Washington DC. Hexagon has six sides. A _quad_rilateral or _quad_angular has four.

Yeah, the rest sounds similar to English. But I'm used to the word quad to describe anything of four.

Well, just like a pentagon is a thing with five edges, and a hexagon with six, you have a tetragon with four edges ("-gon" being Greek for "edge"). These are the Greek numerals, while quadra-, quadro- etc. is Latin. The only odd thing about Michelle's list is the number 2, because "bi" is again Latin and not Greek - that's "di", as in "digraph", "dipole" etc. Following the Greek pattern, 7 should also be "hepta" and not "septa".
