I've got a sore head but nothing can wipe the smile off of my face right now :D This is something I did not think would happen in my lifetime and this is one of the greatest things I've seen happen in this great city I'll be at the parade tomorrow!

Yes...I think it did give them an unfair advantage. In a general sense, if you max out your credit cards you can get some nice things that a more fiscally responsible person would not have been able to get. I think there has to be some sort of major penalty imposed on clubs that will not...

Call me biased but I don't think that a club declared insolvent and auctioned off in bankruptcy court should be allowed to participate in the playoffs. Soccer teams that go insolvent are penalized a massive amount of points. MLB needs to take this type of stance as well

The San Francisco Giants have never won a World Series and they have been around much longer than the other two teams Giants are an absolutely soul destroying team to be a fan of but if the Red Sox and White Sox can shake off the history then the Giants can too. I just don't know if I'll...

Typical Dodger Fan....:rolleyes:

I can guarantee that many more people know the Old Firm rivalry than the Ohio State-Michigan rivalry. ;)

Good thing about living in the US is that once the match is over you can get some peace.

I can't really say that I enjoy the 'rivalry' that Celtic has with another team in Glasgow

Actually that is a very impressive number. Too bad the Dutch had to turn it into a kicking contest instead of playing the way they had throughout the tournament. In 10 years I have never seen my local bar as full as it was for the finals.

The US doesn't have the youth system in place that these other countries have. Even a nation like Ghana will have full time youth academies with players as young a 9 years old. There aren't any serious programs in the US until the college level and by that time it's too late. Most players peak...

I always wonder how these threads become so emotional. I am still trying to figure out which media outlet is forcing 'soccer' down everyone's throat as well. FFS, BBC America doesn't even put up the results on their news broadcasts. ESPN just started showing results on the ticker but only during...

Oh FFS....:rolleyes: The CL is padding it's numbers on the backs of the downtrodden to beat the Superbowl. Oh the humanity I could really care less if America embraces soccer or not. All I really care about is making sure it stays on the airwaves but even that is becoming less of an issue...

Too bad they are best at things that polite society frowns on

I'll set my DVR :) I didn't even watch it when I personally knew someone that was getting drafted. It was much easier to YouTube it

Ray 'The Geordie Shakespeare' Hudson is an absolute parody but I can't stop laughing at some of his commentary. There were a few incidents were I thought David Villa should have considered a restraining order because Ray was just a little bit too in love.

The Champions League Final (on a weeknite mind you ) pulls in more viewers than the Superbowl each year and that is played once a year by club teams. According to a study by Initiative Futures Sports and Entertainment in London, the Champions League Final was the most watched annual sporting...

ESPN still shows the NFL draft OVER 2 DAYS!!!! At least the WC draw only takes 20 minutes

I don't know why I bother with these threads but to go back on topic I'm still trying to figure out who would rather listen to O'Brien and the other clown over the fairly good announcing team ESPN put together. The worst part of the WC in America has always been the moronic announcers they tend...

:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: I hope you don't teach history or geography :D

RIP Worldsport HD :(

Missed this topic throughout...:( Oh well. A few observations after reading through the thread. 1. The horns are a not a normal thing. They have done everyone's head in and FIFA better reconsider a ban on them for the World Cup or else it has the potential to become a ratings disaster.:rant...
