Just one of those soccer nuts. I been involved with this game for 50 plus years. This is truly the only world wide championship sporting event. Every country has the opportunity to qualify a team and go to the FIFA matches. Whether you like soccer you have to admire the skill and stamina of these players. There is also some really good acting jobs put on by some players, a little bump and there dying.Remember this is a non contact sport( yea right).About the England/US match great game. This just proves good play and a little luck make it eventful. This was almost as good as a win for the USA. Thanks for your time reading my opinion.

Tennis maybe world wide, but there has never been a chance for all nations to have a team in major competition . As for speed I think soccer requires great stamina and continual running, along with speed, when the play dictates it. Having played both sports, I found soccer to be tough and tennis to drain me more emotionally, that physically. To much thinking for me in tennis. Come to think of it I'm pretty well spent after both. Tennis is considered a gentlemen s game. Soccer is a hooligans game played by gentlemen or is it a gentlemen s game played by hooligans. Who really cares, you either like it or you don't.

Jimmer I wish you haden't made the last statement, our local sports head line " US beats UK" just because they tied. they get a half a point each right ?

I'm not a football (soccer) fan, but if you haven't tried to play it - you have no clue how much running players must endure during 90mins. TV shows only a cluster of players around the ball, had you seen it in flesh or played a game you would get it - they all run to reposition almost all the time. Only brake they get is for outs and fouls, and even then - they run to reposition. Unlike american footbal where they run 10 yards, fall, everything stops, they huddle, line up, chit chat for a while, and there we go again... No offence guys.

Mick
Each team got one point in the standings for the tie. Know matter what the out come, this was a great match to watch. I did not mean to upset you.What I should have said was, to achieve a tie with England was a great pick me up for the our soccer programs. To be considered on a even keel with English soccer is a complement to these players,even if for only a short time. Glad to see there some soccer fans among we Savage riders. Well put dasch this game is about constant movement.

Hey Star, you mentioned curling earlier... I know you were kidding, but I actually got into it during the winter olympics. I found the strategy involved very interesting...

Personally, I'm a fan of college basketball & football (US style). I can't stand professional sports with all the corruption & over paid cry-babies & crooks. At least most the college kids are playing because they love the game & are getting an education as well...
