The actions of the majority of the players in this World Cup was pathetic and made the Cup almost unwatchable at times. If this is the norm for worldwide soccer, no wonder it is a bust here in the US. Whining, rolling on the ground faking injuries, slapping and fighting, hissy fits, lack of offense, shoddy goal kick attempts, etc.

I tried to be the non-ugly American and enjoy the soccer matches, but all I kept thinking is that I couldn't wait for REAL men playing REAL football in a couple months. These crybabies rolling on the ground for 5 minutes (as the clock runs, duh) because they got a kick in the shin is lame. Let "the world" have their gay sport, I'll take my Sunday Ticket and wave the red white and blue proudly.

Who knew there was crying in soccer. Sheesh.

I spent a lot of time watching soccer these two weeks and now I feel the complete fool.

Until today I watched on Univision most of the time.

Listening to the ABC announcers today was more painful then that last headbut by Butthead Zidane.

Bring on football!!!!!
