Well, I did a 1st yesterday. I was flipping channels and just happened upon a Soccer game between US and Brazil in the 69th minute. The score was 2-1 Brazil. I watched the US score a beautifully set up goal to tie it 2-2. The crowd was going wild. I turned my head because my wife was saying something to me and the next thing I knew Brazil was lining up for a penalty kick which they easily made. Then I watched as Brazil just toyed with the US and made them chase the ball all over the field as the just played keep away. Finally some US guy dragged this Brazillian guy to the ground for yet another penalty kick that was made with ease as well and totally deflated all hope. Final score....

4-2....

Somewhat entertaining but could really use some blocking and/or picking to knock people on their ass.

Soccer really needs to be like Hockey (same game really isnt it?) Bust somebody in the head and get the ball in the goal. Yeah...just like Hockey. Instead...if anyone looks like they came close to hitting me...I fall down.

Was a much better game earlier on in the game. I think the referee took the US out of the game. He was clearly calling the game Brazil's way. US had a similiar play where the US player was headed for goal and was dragged down from behind and no penalty was awarded. Even the announcer's were upset about that one. Also Brazil took a nice shot on our goal keeper, he made a beautiful save but he knocked the ball into this defender chest and right in the goal the ball went. As far as I see it, that should have been a 3-3 tie. Not bad seeing that Brazil recently demolised Argentina 3-0 in the South American tournament finals.

Except last night was the last and the worst episode.
