The Zidane Incident

Maybe some ARENA league soccer?

Buster - I do get your point. And if soccer's not your cup of tea, so be it. I think some of my hostility came from attacking Zidane (deserved) and then the French as a whole (undeserved). As you are entitled to your opinion, I am to mine.

I also have to remember that for the casual fan and the average person, attention spans are short lived. The one thing Soccer has going for it is the lack of commercial interruption. Games are played in around 2 hours, and you're not constantly watching 73 Cialis commercials. Will soccer ever be as popular as football or baseball in this country? Probably not, and I can live with that. But I'll try to educate those who blindly stab at not liking something.

A side note - the World Cup final drew almost 17 million fans, on pace with games played during the NBA Finals and the World Series, which benefit from being at least 4 nights long. The 3rd place game on Saturday morning almost drew 10 million. While I'll agree to more watching NASCAR, I'll have to disagree about poker.

Not to be confused with the depressing "I can't get it up!" smilie!

Edit.

BDBohnzie · 07-13-2006, 10:08 AM

while I agree it hurt like a b!tch, Materazzi did flop to make sure that Zizou got tossed.

TheMalcolmConnection · 07-13-2006, 11:13 AM

Shitting.

I know, I know. It's one of the greatest third grade jokes ever. Tell that to a 8 or 9 year old and they will laugh for at least a week.
