I enjoy watching the World Cup, also..how it brings my fam together! It's fun to see the older family members getting so hyped. LOLJTA wrote: ↑Sat Jun 21, 2014 2:26 pmI never was a big sports fan, but watching the world cup is pretty cool.
Those guys take a beating man. Every 10 minutes there's two dudes lying on the ground in agonizing pain like someone just kicked them in the balls and chopped off a finger. Then five minutes later they're up running at full blast again like nothing happened. They must have balls of steel.
It's like watching Nascar only for the wrecks.

LOL! Glad someone else notices the "injuries'"JTA wrote: ↑Sat Jun 21, 2014 7:39 pmYeah I totally agree. I can't watch American football. It's fun to play, but boring as hell to watch. I'd rather watch soccer, hockey, or nascar any day.Vrede wrote:The dives do suck but at least it's 90 minutes of actual play over 2 hours rather than American football's 16 minutes of actual play over 3-4 hours.

The thing about these world cup games that I especially like are the fake injuries. Gives you something to laugh at in addition to the action.

Yeah, maybe I'll start with league and team names. So far, I know in the Premier League there's Man U, Arsenal, and Chelsea. In MLS, I know there are Sounders and Galaxy. Without cheating, I don't know I could name more, though I might recognize some others if I saw them in a list. My interest in soccer (or futbol) is only slightly above reading daily stock reports. Oh wait - I know Beckham's wife's name. Does that count? Or is it a black mark on my man-card that I know more names of Spice Girls than soccer players?

Your man-card is safe. They're the SPICE GIRLS, nothing wrong with that. Now, if you knew all the BTS names, instead . . .

I was flipping late yesterday between Army Navy and got a little caught up in the Portland Timbers and the New York Somethings in extra time and then the shootout.
Maybe I'm a bad American, but every time I watch futball I enjoy it and find it compelling.

Clemson goes up 1-0 just 26 seconds in, then 2-0 14 minutes in. Ut-oh. The Husky men could use some Girl Power right now.

Dark hair, black minidress. She doesn't get a lot of face time in this vid, but became the group's superstar.

To think I had made it the last twenty five years without seeing that video or knowing that.....maybe I do live under a rock.

Re: Futbol
Evil triumphs when good men do nothing.
The Huskies could not overcome your Spice Girls-distracted apathy.
It's difficult to come back from 0-2 at a high level of play. The leaders just put up a defensive wall that the trailing team can't penetrate. Clemson, arrrggghhh!

No help from Lady O, either. She said she didn't know Huskies had a soccer team.
