I'd rather have my wisdom teeth pulled without Novocaine than watch five minutes of the World Cup. But hey, that's just me..

Ditto.

I remember when the US team was playing in some big deal World Cup match back in the 1990s (1994, I think). It was on July 4 and the media made a huge deal over it. I went to a friend's Indy Day party where we all planned to slam back some hot dogs, gather around the big screen and enjoy the game.

That lasted until about 30 minutes into the snoozefest. Two people fell asleep, and everyone else just wondered off to do something else. It was like watching mold form on the side of a building. A test pattern has more action.

I remember that game, against Brazil, we were in a bar on Miami Beach watching the game (with a lot of Brazil fans) and we had a great time, though the US did lose the game. But it was a great run, that set the stage for the US gaining prominence.

And nobody even knows how much time is left.

My plan: Let all players use their hands, carry sticks, and put an official clock where everyone can see it...

Wait a minute. That's already called Lacrosse.
