One thing I noticed at the end of every match is that one player goes to one other player in the opposing team, they both take off their jerseys and trade them. It seems that every player does that, and they walk away. It also seems like a tradition that has been going on for years. Does anyone know where this idea of exchanging jerseys originate from? I think it's a pretty cool tradition as well, especially playing for a national team because you get to collect all these free jerseys around the world that are worth a lot of money (well not a lot if you are a professional)....

Another tradition is the Jocks either don't qualify or they do shite... If they spent more time worrying about how well their own team was (under) performing than how their superior southern neighbours were getting on, it might increase their chances a bit.... some things never change.
Come on England!

Don't you just wish they'd that in the women's world cup as well. Or the Algarve cup too. ;)
