OK I stay out of the Soccer threads in the sports forum, it'd be trollish of me to go into a thread that doesn't interest me just to dump on it. And TBPH I think that football, even though I enjoy it (especially college ball) is substantially overblown (it's a good game but it's way too popular IMO). But I have NO IDEA what the rest of the world sees in that IMO gawdawful boring game. I've tried, I've really really tried, to watch that game, up to and including the highest level of the sport, the World Cup, but it was just the most dreadfully dull non-event I've ever witnessed. I would rather watch the
Winter Olympics Biathlon than World Cup soccer. If I had to choose between World Cup soccer and the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show I'd be faced with a difficult decision unless there was a third option of turning off the set and twiddling my thumbs.
Now, having said that, if anyone likes that game, power to you. I utterly hate the game but it doesn't make me right. Notice, I didn't say that what you guys call football IS dreadful and boring, I only said that was MY take on it.
