And my husband tried to argue with me that the Superbowl has a bigger television audience than the World Cup. Ha. Even the televised draw determing the first round opponents drew over 1 billion viewers, and that was months before the tournament started. Superbowl? What's that? Sounds like a massive chowdown

nope
How about that brutal head butt by Zidane? He's lucky the other guy didn't drop dead from a heart attack.

I'd rather have my eyes sewn wide open and watch Roseanne Barr do a striptease than watch that crap!
we are cooking Italian sausages again for the whole family to celebrate
The Dago's won, whoopee do............... My wife will be happy anyway.
Italy won!!

Originally posted by seatonheating Soccer is ridiculously boring, only fun for those who play. I can watch hours of golf on TV but not that garbage. And to whoever called it real football....lol...I think not I hear you seaton. I feel sorry for billions of people on five continents and few thousands in North America. Watching faces of soccer fans in German stadiums tells how painful is their boredom. They need four years of qualifying games before World Cup. We are football world champions every year without single game with a different country. That is what I call the ultimate fun.
Gateway makes shoes ?

US plays Thursday morning, got-a work.
I think they could fix the game if they would let one guy flash into the area near the goal and catch and throw the ball into the goal with his hands. Hey the goalie uses his hands, why not even it up a little? Watching grown people try to bounce the ball off their heads is really stupid. HELLO, YOU HAVE HANDS!!! Use em
Originally posted by tinner73 Brazil vs. Australia...NOW on ABC. Brazil is great to watch, makes me sick with envy.
Korean fans were in mass against the French, clearly out numbered them, and on European soil to boot. The final 16 we will have some world class soccer to be sure. I just wish I did not have to work during the day.

Your ignorance could be very painful, I guess that’s a good selling point> No ignorance here, just being logical. It's the same with hockey. Why should we sit down and wait an hour in between scores. If I wanted to watch guys running around playing with themselves I have the internet.
Brazil vs. Australia...NOW on ABC.
