Yes, it was disapointing for you, and your family, but the Brits moved on further than many teams.BE PROUD TO BE ENGLISH! Have a pint in honor of the games, and your wonderful country!

Feel free to beat me with stick for my pennance... Klinsman had some excellent comments in the studio after the game. He said the English team's psyche was poor throughout this Cup. They were tense and unsettled, weighed down by the pressure. As they search for their next coach, England needs to avoid looking for a tactician and rather look for a motivator. They need someone to get the players thinking positively and with team spirit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard that more people around the world watch the world cup than the NFL's Super Bowl, Major league baseball world series, NBA basketball championship, Hockey finals, and other U.S. sports COMBINED! THAT's just how huge globally it is. The Super Bowl is huge here (like a national holiday) but it doesn't have the vast world watching it like we do. The U.S. really doesn't follow the world cup (we don't call it football, we call it soccer) all that much, as it's not been in our culture. However, with more and more people coming to America from other nations, it's slowly starting to gain in popularity. The U.S. prefers the games we invented like football, baseball, and basketball. We prefer high scoring games, and a fast paced game.The world cup is HUGE world wide, and I'm a well read person, so I keep up with it, and everything around the world.Good luck tomorrow!

airtommy Posted June 28, 2010 Report Share Posted June 28, 2010 I like Richie Rich's video of Zidane's headbutt with a Vuvuzela Photoshopped in. I like The Onion's take on the Vuvuzela:South African Vuvuzela Philharmonic Angered By Soccer Games Breaking Out During ConcertsTwo incredible matchups in the quarterfinals: Germany vs. Argentina and Holland vs. Brazil. Both of those games are worthy of the championship game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
