Never say never - I watched it for the first time with an open mind just last week.

Rugby looks interesting, and the North Americans look uncomfortable playing the game, with no lateral mobility, poor acceleration, poor teamwork, and few ideas.

The World Cup game yesterday was so good, with such amazing skills on display, that it has made the whole tournament worthwhile.

Try spending five minutes with a soccer ball to understand the speed, balance, agility, conditioning, strength and creativity you are exposed to in World Cup action. Amazing.

Was just joking. My kids are really really into sports. Between them they have probably played every sport on land.

Both played rugby in college. Talk about a blood sport.....yikes. Never did see so many blood soaked shirts.......and broken bones too.

But of course, soccer is king!

Both kids have been to Word Cup games.....my son just spent a week in Germany......getting to see England, Portugal, and Iran play.

The most intensity I've seen so far as well as being the best game overall. The first goal was a thing of beauty.

Today's game OTOH...
