I am still watching ALL the games! Today, England got massacred by germany...and Mexico lost to Argentina while putting up a valiant fight. Like us, they were robbed of a perfectly good goal by the FIFA refs (who seem to be drunk, blind or asleep most of the time) Regarding the US, this is the closest we have gotten...and our boys played very well. Every 4 years we get better. If this country pushed it's star athletes into soccer instead of the big three (football, basketball and baseball) then we would be a force to be reckoned with! Imagine if Kobe Bryant was into soccer....it would be our team winning the world cup, and ending the South American domination of the game! As far as the thread dying, many people either treat soccer with utter derision, or ignore it because they think it is "boring" (it's not, of course!).. There are not many of us on this forum that are into it, but one of our members, Soccertiki happens to be a goalie in the minor league! And since my upbringing is European on both sides of my family, of course I am majorly into soccer and have played it my entire life. [ Edited by: lucas vigor 2010-06-27 16:09 ] |
