wooo whoo world cup!!!!

wait... why am i cheering that much?

i guess its just because i am north american that i don't really care all that much... soccer, or, 'futbal' or 'the boring football' is a world wide sport that other countries can kick canada's ass in. i'm sure much of my lack of interest in the sport is what you would call 'sour grapes'... but for me... soccer just doesn't do it. to find a north american parallel to the sport, what you have to do is put american football and cross it with hockey... remove all the scoring, fast pace and body contact and there ya go!!! soccer! those three things to me are what makes a sport enjoyable...

don't get me wrong about the athletes... they are in top form. after all, they'd better be... the sport pretty much is kicking and chasing... kicking and chasing... that takes a lot out of you. it actually makes me understand why the other two things that players do besides kick and chase is dive and fake injuries... hell... i would be too if i meant i got to take a damn break.

one thing i can say is that the fans are damn impressive... they cheer hard. whether their team wins or loses (usually by a score of one-nil) they go hard... set the stadium on fire, riot and trample people to death, shoot a player... well.. the last one is generally only if they lose. the first two... meh... win or lose.

well.. now that we are getting a little further on most people are realizing the true reason canadians don't mind following the sport... we get to see something that the US doesn't dominate. back to that original woo whooo!!!!

	soccer is boring....thats what my world cup blog said. I just don't get it, there's no tackeling or checking. Therefore I'm not interested. Plus I'm american....and that pretty much explains it.

	lol dude, don't be so hard on yourself for not understanding it, you can't really if you weren't born and brought up with it... think of it as a disease you can only inherit ;)

	i have no interest in soccer, its so wierd how once every four years everyone and their brother becomes a soccer nut. Its also funny how you learn every single friend's nationality...or should i say, the nationality of thier dead uncles mothers brothers father. i was wondering today, is soccer really about the sport or is it about piatriotism? damn i should write my own blog
