Jim Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 That US-Italy game today was really exciting. I had no idea soccer could be so interesting! The Italians are a lot of fun to watch. If they win our division I think I'll "root" for them the rest of the way. No offense against our UK friends -- I'll root for you guys too. I was the same way Pangloss. I found myself actually caring about soccer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pangloss Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 By the way, I think World Cup TV coverage is actually beating coverage of the basketball and hockey finals that are also taking place right now, except in the markets that host the competing teams.

Pangloss Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 Hey guys, I have a question. France is a socialist state, right? So... when they score a goal, do they have to give one to the other team too? Just curious! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
why? Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 I didnt like brasil's match at all. I think i expected too much from them. I mean today's match was a bore. And korea vs. Australia sucked too. I hate when teams make goals in the first few minute. I just lose interest then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srh Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 What are you on about? I presume you're talking about Australia and Japan, and that match couldn't have been more exciting towards the end...3 goals in 8 minutes...sensational. btw, a few posts too late, but a comparison. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-4804555374987665855&q=NFL http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-2038858658548114385&q=rugby+league http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=8670961340288273492&q=nrl I don't see much difference...except for a mountain of padding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would have been better if Americans knew proper sportsmanship. They played a nasty game because they were too scared. They were doing too many fouls that were capable of breaking the legs of the Italian players, why do you think the Italian elbowed the American? Perhaps one of the worse games I've seen. The american team needs to grow up and stop playing cowardly games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
