football, U.S.-style, the latter being little more than NASCAR racing in
sneakers, with bits of action filling in between the commericals.

It doesn't matter, POS. If I don't like something, like to watch
something, own something, no one else should neither. Take football. I
was always too obese to play it, and besides, I was taking practice
tests after school while the other kids were playing. So, I hate it. And
because I hate it, anybody who would watch it is a right wing moron.

If you didn't grow up with it and you're not a fan of soccer, it's
unlikely you'd understand its allure. In my estimation, it's the most
free flowing and creative of professional team sports.

I'm sure you are right. Soccer to me looks like a great game to play,
but it sure seems boring to watch. Thousands of kids around here and
everywhere else, I bet, are involved in school and after school soccer,
and if they didn't like it, they'd be doing something else.

One thing I like over hockey is that they don't have the commercial breaks
and stoppages all the time.
I tune in to the World Cup while doing my treadmill and BowFlex exercises
and the time passes fast... if I'm watching normal programming, I'm
constantly reaching for the remote to mute commercials.
Today I saw the first half of Greece & Nigeria.

I didn't think you had a room wide enough to set up a bowflex machine.

Don't 'think"....it's not your strong suit!
My BowFlex Ultimate has been in three different rooms of my house, and the
wife is planning to evict it from the back room where it sits now.
