I wonder why this deserves a thread of its own, didn't we have a football (soccer whatever) official thread?

I, for one, didn't even know that the US was playing Spain today. But I did see that the US did lose to Italy last week.

Look at it this way; first, we have our own football. Second, the game is supposed to be entertainment. Which of the following seems more entertaining to you?

The second one I think cos all us footie fans are like that. They seem to have lost the ball though.
No reason not to have both 'footballs' we have our own rugby football too!

Spain lost the game when Fabregas was brought down the pitch. He was easily the best of his team today, Xavi and Torres should've been replaced.

Good game, that goalie was a hero.
Spain is famous for entering the the tournaments as favorite, with a dream team and never reaching the finals.
