We we hate Soccer...in the USA
America wins...when they lose?
The clock runs forward...instead of counting down?
They add...minutes to the game?
There are no...."TV" timeouts?
This...is ...us. We need structure.....4 quarters....a halftime show. A shot clock! Instant replay.
"Fut-ball" just doesn't do it.
AMERICA WINS 0 - 1

Things....Learned....From the Week-end .....that was...
A rather....uneventful couple of days....but ....it was a week-end just the same.
And.....what did we learn?
Soccer.....will always be a second class sport....in our beloved USA. Face the facts.....We're just not as good as the other countries....in this sport. Why? Simple. Our best athletes play football (pigskin style), baseball, basketball......and hockey. Soccer? No TV time-outs.....No half time......the clock runs up--not down....Soccer? It's just un-American:
This wasn't 2006 Team USA. The American soccer team that landed in South Africa all those weeks ago was supposed to advance to the second round with ease, ... |
Baseball......America's Pastime? Maybe.... MLB has made an impressive come-back this year. The inter-league play has been exciting....to say the least:
There were plenty of high fives avaibable on the Chicago bench during interleague play as the White Sox held a 15-3 record against the National League in June.

Serena....is still winning.......across the pond:
LONDON, June 28 (UPI) -- Serena Williams claimed a tight straight-set victory Monday over Maria Sharapova and reached the quarterfinals at Wimbledon.
Michael Vick.....This is not good....you have to be smarter....and more careful:

Why Soccer will Never be accepted by the USA
Imagine..........100,000 football fans.......
The rest of the world doesn't really get our game of football.......but we've never had this:
Witchcraft rumor sparks riot at Congo soccer game
KINSHASA, Congo (AP)—Accusations that a soccer player was using witchcraft during a match in eastern Congo sparked a riot that killed 13 people, a U.N.-funded radio station reported Monday.
Most of the victims were between the ages of 11 and 16, Radio Okapi said. They were suffocated as panicked crowds ran for the exits during the mayhem Sunday in Butembo in eastern Congo’s North Kivu province.
Radio Okapi said police tried to control the violence at Matokeo stadium by firing into the air to protect their commander, who was hit in the head and wounded by fans.
The two local clubs involved were Socozaki and Nyuki System, the radio said.
Dozens of teenagers marched through Butembo’s dirt streets Monday in protest, and the regional governor, Julien Mpaluku, paid a visit to the hospital.
Mpaluku said the government was investigating.
He made no mention of witchcraft, but confirmed that soldiers had fired into the air to calm angry crowds. The shooting prompted panic instead, which became fatal “when the crowds all tried to leave at the same time.”
“Most of the dead were children, only two or three were adults,” Mpaluku said.
North Kivu has been the epicenter of violence between Congo’s army and rebels over the last year which has displaced hundreds of thousands of people.
I think we'll stick with that old pigskin game........
