    OK so after watching the USA/England and most of the Germany/Australia match I still don't get the "excitement" about soccer. Mostly kicking the ball around between the goals, with occassional shots on goal. Heck that 4-0 win by Germany was a huge beat down, similar to Texas beating Louisiana-Monroe 75-0. 0-0, 1-1, 1-0...those are some exciting scores. Maybe we should bring back the tie to real football!! :)

    If they don't ban those damn horns (vuvuzelas) I'll go crazy. It sounds like a million bees. I'd rather watch the games with no commentary than listen to that ****.

    Watched a little bit of Brazil vs. North Korea. I thought the North Korean cheerleaders were pretty cute.

    If the damn horn noise wasn't enough, if watching time after time euro-floppers rolling around on the ground hiding their face in feigned agony wasn't enough, the officiating was just terrible....no flat out dishonest. It would be interesting to know what the call was that negated the US's apparent winning goal. Possibly offsides except the asst ref. who would signal that didn't. It could have been a foul on the US but replay only showed Bradley the coach's son who scored the tying goal in a bear hug from a defender. Near as I can figure, the ref just didn't want the US to win so he waved it off. Complete horseshit. :twisted:

    If they are lucky, Terry. A story that circulated after Iraq lost a critical World Cup qualifier was that the players were forced by Sadaam's son to practice by kicking large stones resulting in every player having fractured toes, forefeet, etc.

    Dear Leader seems to be even more vicious and depraved than Sadaam's devil spawn given his refusals, at various times, to allow food to be sent to his country during times extreme famine, resulting in mass starvation. I hate to think what is going to happen to those players.

    Wow! That was one of the most gut wrenching, exciting paint drying sessions I've ever seen. :D :D :D

    I'm surprised that those assholes in Congress don't hold a hearing on the whole World Cup competition.

    Speed, that's what it looked like to me...Ghana just looked faster. I wonder if the american black community will ever embrace soccer and give us an counter to the speed of the teams like Ghana.
