the game sucks. run, run, run... nobody scores. and in the end (by modern rules) you have a "shootout" to finalize the event. why not just do the shootout from the get-go. it would save so much time and the results would be the same.

I totally agree--most of my English language learning students are from countries that love soccer. I'm doing my best to educate them about real American sports like basketball and (NFL) football. It's totally a cultural thing. What you were raised with watching or playing, you stay with during your life. My little soccer lovers, though, cannot accept anyone dissing on the "most wonderful game in the world." They almost get t.ears in their eyes when I say I'd rather pull out my fingernails than watch a soccer match. Sorry! I'm an American sports clod.

amen, sister angelica...

soccer is a great game. it gets yout's (...youths) running and that's a good thing. americans should play soccer as children, teens... gets them off their fat asses. a great game.

for children.

but its not a sport for adults. not american adults. americans don't like to play these 90 minute runarounds where nobody wins, and then we suddenly change the game to a completely different game? wtf?

that's great "soccer appoligists." the game is this, and then OH! all of a sudden! the game is something completely different?

sorry.

does not compute.

I admit, I was a little happy to see the Chinese so mad because of their loss at the last minute during diving. It was nice. So yeah, call me a racist all you want. I don't hate the Chinese, I am just glad they lost that last one.

so if the chinese divers did not win, who did?

*i missed it*
