Nico (Who is ashamed for the 'German like' soccer which is now played by Orange, the Dutch team and the former Brasilians of Europe. Every soccer loving Dutch is. It looks like someone dressed 11 robots in Orange and black and programmed them to play awful soccer, yuck) nah, you need 22 over muscled gorillas running around a field with dead animal skins slapping each other on the butt. |

Orange, the Dutch team and the former Brasilians of Europe. Every soccer loving Dutch is. It looks like someone dressed 11 robots in Orange and black and programmed them to play awful soccer, yuck) I know this will be jumped on, but...... "awful soccer" I mean how could you possibly tell? That is, in such a game as this one. Like some one has said recently if God had wanted us play soccer he would have shaped our feet like our hands. Paint drying or grass growing comes to mind. |

[snip] Haha, it is awful soccer when the ball is played around and around and around... AND no serious goal attempts are made. Then everyone gets bored and complaining. But then again, maybe it is a difference of culture? I don't like to watch baseball (ouch!) or American Football (double ouch!), nor do I amuse myself by watching an icehockeygame, so I don't bother and don't watch it ;-) I think you might be right about the cultural difference. I remember back when I was in high school, 30 or so years ago, being told that it was going to be the next big thing in American sports. I've tried watching--I really have (not just the current World Cup). I just can't get into it, which is odd, because I enjoy ice hockey, and there are some similarities. I know it's not just a "not invented here" bias--I've been known to get up at 4AM on a Sunday to watch an F1 race. I can certainly appreciate the skill it takes to play at that level--how somebody does a bicycle kick and not break their neck on the landing is beyond me. Maybe there's a lot of stuff going on away from the ball that would allow me to enjoy it if I saw it in person. Baseball is a lot like that--what you can see if you attend a game is about 10X what you see on TV. No matter what, the USA team hold their own at SOCCER at this world championship. And the people who like the game are amazed and truly delighted how the USA team did just that. Mainly because soccer is not a 'great sport' in the USA like baseball or American football and the USA are relatively 'newcomers' to this game. And so, the appearence of Team USA at a world championship soccer should be something to be proud of, because teams of the whole world have been competing to just be there. Looking back at our history, about half the time we get in, we exit after the first round (which is about average, since the first round cuts the field in half). Since there isn't the kind of following in the US that there is in other countries, once we're out, it's hard to get us interested in South Korea vs. Uraguay :-) I'm proud the Dutch team is there, in spite of the play they have shown the first two games they we're engaged in. You got through the first round--now you just need to roll over Cameroon, and not get anybody hurt*. *Which brings up a question--once a baseball or American football team has clinched a playoff spot, it's common to rest the starters so that they'll be fresh for the playoffs, and most importantly, not get hurt. Would the Dutch team (or any team that knows it's going to advance) do that? take care, Scott |
