om Obama won’t offer soccer views

LONDON (AP)—He says he’s taken enough flak for making his NCAA college basketball selections, so President Barack Obama says he’s not about to wade into European soccer—or, as he correctly called it in London, “football.”
He was asked at a news conference Wednesday with British Prime Minister Gordon Brown whether he had a “good luck message” for the team from England, which is playing Ukraine later in the day in a World Cup qualifying match.
Obama says his college basketball predictions, in which he envisioned North Carolina taking the championship, caused “all kinds of controversy.”

And he says although he “didn’t get a briefing” on it, he knows it would “be a mistake” to offer his views on soccer.

Ia mengatakan ia diambil dari cukup untuk membuat meriam penangkis udara nya NCAA college basketball pilihan, jadi Presiden Barack Obama mengatakan ia tidak akan menyeberang ke dalam sepak bola Eropa-atau, seperti yang ia benar memanggilnya di London, "sepak bola."

Dia bertanya pada konferensi berita Rabu dengan Perdana Menteri Inggris Gordon Brown apakah dia yang "good luck pesan" bagi tim dari Inggris, Ukraina yang bermain di kemudian hari di kualifikasi Piala Dunia cocok.

Obama mengatakan ia college basketball predictions, di mana dia envisioned North Carolina mengambil kejuaraan, disebabkan "semua jenis kontroversi."

Dan walaupun ia mengatakan ia "tidak mendapatkan briefing" padanya, ia akan tahu "akan kesalahan" ia menawarkan dilihat pada sepak bola.
