I enjoy soccer, but the diving and falling down like you've been shot in the head is embarrassing. Soccer penalizes for dissent but most sports give no room for argument...

I do like a good match...


But you can find me at half time asking which team has the blue shirts...

I don't find the results interesting.. But the tactics behind good football is fascinating...

Contrary to what my posts may portray me as, I have seen many soccer games and I can honestly say that these guys are the best floppers out there. Just a touch and their on the ground holding their legs and as soon as the penalty is given their running like nothing happened. Yep, seen that many times.

I love college basketball (duh) and the NFL (Skins season ticket holder :cussing: ), but there's something about football/soccer. The whole damn world watches it, and there is no bigger sporting event that the World Cup. 's

0-0 at half time Mexico and South Africa...

Already have a blown offsides call or Mexico would
be up 1-0...

Congrats Rick for a nice win over Denmark..

-----------------

Hard to say because round 1 isn't over...

US was lucky but Green came up big on Altidore
so in the end, they got the result they needed.
US should beat Slovenia..

Definitely impressed w/the way Germany attacked..
Podolski and Klose (both Polish) were unstoppable..

Argentina beat a decent Nigeria team--Messi is the best...

Those Germans played nicely, I had a feeling that they would do that against the Aussies. As for the US v England match, both teams made a mistake each. It seemed the US wasn't ready for the attack and were scored on early. England was attacking a lot more though.
