  • Well, by golly, it's a start!  The Big-City-to-Fort-Worth's-East Mavericks won their first-ever game in the NBA finals.  e-cheerleader

    One down....three to go.  e-thumbs

    Turns out there's another sports event going on now, though it's not one I'd ever follow, i.e. the World Cup.  It's simply astounding how a-twitter other people get about it, however, based upon the stories in the news regarding English hooligans having their passports collected to insure they can't leave the country, etc.  What has caused what is largely viewed as a kiddie game in America to be such a rolicking big deal to the rest of the world?

  • You got it backwards, sweetie. Soccer was big stuff in the rest of the world long before it became a kiddie game in the U.S. It's their answer to football. It IS their football, for that matter -- that's what the rest of the world calls it.

  • I've often wondered about the attraction soccer has in the rest of the world.  To me it's a lot of endless running up and down the field to little avail.  Of course, I've never seen a game played by people older then 12.
