These guys take more dives than pro wrestlers...now there's an idea, maybe Vince should field his own soccer team...The Big Show in goal, Triple H, HBK, bring Nick out of retirement...would sledge hammers and chairs get you red carded? First guy who takes a dive in front of the Undertaker gets tombstoned...that would slow that crap down!

It really is to each their own -- baseball bores me like no other sport, but I love a good World Cup match. It was pandemonium yesterday at the pub when we thought our second goal counted...damn, an upset of Italian would have been amazing. I think soccer's one of those sports that's made better with a good crowd. We had such a blast yesterday: Italians at one table, Americans adjacent, beer flowing...here's hoping our match with Ghana is good, too.

Sorry, but soccer just doesn't do it for me.
Lots of running around yet hardly any meaningful action. BORING.

Brazil and Australia played an extremely entertaining game. Almost every player on Brazil has more skill than any US player. The only way we get on track and compete is really playing as a unit cause we got very little talent compared to the top teams.
I guess if you take a country the size of Brazil, and the choice of sports to play is soccer, then soccer, and after that soccer, and then maybe a little basketball... well, you will have very talented athletes. If a guy like Barry Sanders was born with a soccer ball at his feet, we might have a chance. Most kids in the US quit soccer by the time they start middle and High School. Then its the other football. And if inner city, basketball. The number of US baseball players is dropping off the map with the Latin American influx of really good players.

us showed alot of passion yesterday. italians are a good team so it was a good result esp after the mauling ye got to the czechs.
regarding football being boring, it all depends on who you are. I think its exciting, My friends think its exciting, etc etc. My friends think racing is boring, but obviously we dont.My friends think baseball is boring. I used to be like that but have come to appreicate the sport for what it is!

Born and raised in Texas where soccer is here only because we are next to Mexico and I LOVE THE SPORT. Do you play Brock? I played in a league for a couple of years because my daughter was playing so I wanted to learn. I was in very good shape and I had a great time. I even got a yellow card after running into the goalie after getting a finger in the eye. Had this nice little card and had to take a little exam to get the card to join the league. Had a blast trying something new. And I am officially on record as having scored one goal. Our entire team had 21 goals, one guy had 16, one guy had 4, and I had one on a little tap in after a wonderful cross by the guy with 16 goals. I will never forget that. Like a first little league homerun... on a bunt. What a sad life I live.
