this is the definition of soccer now, the play is so fast that it is guaranteed a few calls will be missed and the ball and player are flying simultaneously -- the day will come when they'll finally figure out a better way...

Yeah i agree. Spain is a strong favorite, and I wouldn't put the house on Ivory Coast, but they can hurt you. I get the chance to watch a lot of Futbol, and there are only a few players this year that have been capable of playing at a level at times during the season where they are just simply unstoppable - Rooney, Messi, and Drogba. On days when Drogba wants to play at his highest level (which isn't necessarily all the time) he is as good or better than anyone in the world. Throw that in there with Yaya, Kolo, Kalou, etc. and you are definitely right - they could be something amazing.

got yah. but if Portugal and Brazil come to play (esp. Portugal)......the I Coast won't even advance.
I agree and I also thought France got a few iffy calls go their way. The red card on the player from Uruguay was deserving. He came in late and high. I hope the reffs call all those that way.
Come on Portugal? They barely qualified. I would not bet any money on them right now.
BTW...They are showing the USA game all over town in SF. They are even opening up the ball park and showing it on the big screen for free. :-D

I went with #4, if there was an option for Bradley soccer and Olympic soccer I would have definitely voted for that. If the USA makes it to the final World Cup game, I might watch it - I just think it's boring - JMHO, so don't be mad. I hope all our Bradley players make a ton of money playing it!
What turned me off several years ago was that in Europe they had to build fences in the stands to keep fans from different teams apart because they all came to the games drunk, there's no such thing as a happy drunk at European soccer games, and wanted to fight each other and then after the games it got really ugly. So I don't care about soccer. Why don't they play baseball or American style football in Europe, what European is playing MLB or in the NFL other than the ones born here over the generations.

I can understand all of that. It is all personal preference afterall. I find soccer amazing, yet find baseball is terribly awful to watch. I played soccer growing up so that probably contributes to my bias. I know for me as well, living overseas changed my views of the game. I found it nearly impossible to not get swept up in the emotion of the games in those environments. And you are right, there have been cases of terrible hooliganism at times with fans, but if you do manage to catch any footage of the world cup, you'll notice that there have been no attempts to segregate the fans and that they are all largely there having a great time together. In my experience, Europeans and Africans tend to ask me why americans "bother playing baseball or american football" as opposed to soccer. Cultures are just different.
As you said JMHO but have you ever gone to a baseball game in Philly, NY or Boston. They should have police protection for opposing fans. The fences is a good idea. I'd hate to see what it would look like if Philly fans went to Yankee stadium in droves. ;-)

I'd put Futbol ahead of Football depending on whether I could go to the games, and where exactly in the world I was, hehe. And if I got free tickets to a baseball game, I would 'probably' move it ahead of Professional Cup stacking - Difficult to tell.
