I watched a bit today, now that I am quickly becoming an expert
on World Cup soccer. It was SO COOL!!! I had forgotten just how fun it is to watch!
Sorry for beginning a separate thread on this, MM--I searched, but only in a couple of forums--I didn't look in Travel:Food, Drink, and Entertainment (what IS this thread doing here???).
As for my own soccer/futbol career, it ended at age 9 when I got knocked unconscious while trying (I think!) to hit the ball with my head. Maybe the ball was trying to hit me.
And I ended up a perpetual spectator, not much of an athlete!
In exchange for getting me hooked on World Cup soccer, I am going to get all of you addicted to watching the University of Florida Gator football (American-style) team!
