With their terrible showing against Mexico last night, I have less lofty hopes about our national team. They absolutely buried Norway in a friendly 5-1 in February but have struggled since with a single win in 4 games.
If they get washed out my back-up is Deutchland as well. their style of play is poetry in motion; machine-like precision, strong build-ups and constant pressure. Another wonderful team to watch for the shear beauty of it is Brazil. Joga Bonita! Technical mastery, creative flair and played from the heart. The world has never seen before the likes of Ronaldino, an absolute master of ball handling with an instinct for the back of the net. Here is the US listing for game times and who's showing it. Click Here Does anyone here have a TiVo to record the games that are at weird times? Would be cool to load those files to the file server so everyone can watch what they missed. I am off to support my daughter in the first tournament of her club soccer season which will run until late October and pick back up in January through February for State Cup. Yes... a 9 month season. I love it!

Actually, I love World Cup Soccer. I love to watch Spain or England or (sometimes) Argentina. The way these guys control and pass the ball proves their skill equal or better than any other athlete in the world. I just wish they wouldn't flop and act hurt every time someone touches them, trying to get a call. That bit does bug me.

That annoys the hell outa me too. I think about 10 years ago or so FIFA instituted a rule that if you take a dive trying to draw a penalty the diving player is automatically red-carded (sent from the field of play for the duration of the game) and your team must play the remainder of the game short-handed.
