World Cup 2010

holy [expletive], I flipped from the Texas/TCU baseball game and saw the much talked about but rarely seen soccer goal. I've heard of them but never seen one before. Unfortunately it's the wrong team, do we have any chance at all if we gave up a goal in the first 3 minutes?

And what is a "friendly"?

A "friendly" is the international soccer equivalent to an exhibition game.

Hah... lol.

Is it Kazoo day at Rustenburg Memorial Stadium or something? That [expletive] is giving me a headache.

Do we have a chance or is this over?

instead of the "extra time" nonsense, why don't you just stop the clock when the game stops?

Jim the whole allure of a great soccer game is much like hockey. You have to watch the whole game, miss the exciting chances at a score, and when your team gets one, its more exciting than just about any single play in any other sport (buzzer beaters etc aside).

The bar I'm at has about 100 fans all shrieking and yelling, and if/when we even this up, the place will absolutely erupt. its an incredibly satifying feeling.

Soccer is world-loved for a reason. Watching casually at home will never get you 'into' it - its a communal fan environment.

NOW BACK TO DRINKS AND THE YANKS! The Brits are showing some weakness and our D has saved some dangerous chances! Go USA!
