The essence of the “beautiful game” is two strong teams trying to wear each other down and score goals.

Argentina and the Netherlands were poised, aggressive, graceful and dynamic. The 120 minutes of pure football in this semi-final was the most memorable World Cup game I’ve seen.

They gave the fans a real treat with superb play from both of them. Its been a great tournament the past month.

Now we all look forward to the final on Sunday. I predict Germany gets that fourth title!

its foot hockey in essence. at my lab in the breakroom theres ESPN and about a dozen people “getting sodas” so
its addictive among a lot of the tech workers.

sports are a funny thing, either people are wired to like a given sport, or they’re not.

Yeah, it was like watching a two hour minute porn movie where no one scores.
But I am looking forward to seeing the Deutschland blitzkrieg again. Those boys aren’t shy about putting the ball in the net.
The US held the Huns to, what, one goal? And with no wiffle bats or weeping at the end.

There was too much “clear the ball out”
