Well take satisfaction that he was a big part in destroying my team The LA Dodgers.   Looks like he is going to go the WS.

It is doing quite well.  The pro league does just fine (MLS).  I know here in Southern California the Galaxy are pretty big.  Ist it going to be our national sport of choice? or is this going to reach the level of NBA, MLB or NFL?  Not for  quite a while. THe NHL does OK but is a step below the big three. A lot has do with what you grow up playing. WHile youth soccer has grown over the years when you get to High School  and college the big spots are American football and basketball.

I wish Euro Football were more popular in the states. Competition itself is great, until the dollars get involved.

Since we're on the discusion of baseball I thought I would mention that Ken Caminiti died yesterday at the age of 41

Having a bit of a problem right now. England v Wales,just kicked off. Im English but with strong Welsh blood ties (and Y chromosone) GOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAALLL!!!!!!! ENGLAND SCORE......Back to the TV....... don't worry...scoring in soccer happens so infrequently ya probably won't miss anything until...hmm....about Tuesday zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz..... It's about patience and anticipation G. I realise you guys stateside are greedy by nature, have no attention span, and are far more interested in quantity rather than quality, which is why all your popular sports have score lines that change by the minute ( ) but we don't mind waiting 90 minutes to see just one or two artfull goals (Beckam's goal yesterday was pure art, executed with the grace of Nijinsky). Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way, but the rewards are far greater. The Irish too, know what I mean. Yesterday they managed to hold on to a nill-nill draw against France, probably the most talented team in Europe. This earned them a point in the World Cup qualifying round. Well done Ireland.   short attention span...heck I couldn't even read through your entire post

 

I guess he has never watched a baseball game. It doesn't even have a time limit. 

But the game he is taking about does.  Maybe we should start talking about the short attention span of the soccer fans.

I enjoyed the Republic Of Ire game.Goals don't have to be going in left right and centre for it to be interesting.Football is a battle that takes you through more highs and lows than you can ever imagine.In a word it's about PASSION.The twenty five thousand Irish fans at the the game in Paris had that in abundance!

Football is 'the beautifull game' ,especially when Beckham scores!

Unfortunately some one had stitched an image of 2 beautiful young men caressing each others glistening bodies, onto the original Jpeg where Nebraska was. So I deleted that bit, so as not to cause offence, or unnecessary titilation.
