Who else is watching World Cup? [View all]

[Jilly_in_VA]

I've been laid out with a horrible cold, so I'm using that as an excuse. I'll usually watch soccer, or as I prefer to call it, futbol, if I can get a chance, so this is fun for me, especially before it boils down to the "favorites". I like seeing the teams that haveessentially NO chance, especially if they can put up a good fight ar even score against a stronger team, the way Curaçao did while getting clobbered by Germany yesterday. I found the most exciting match to be Scotland and Haiti, which Scotland won 1-0 in a great defensive battle by both teams; I probably appreciate those sorts of games because my daughter was a defender for most of her 12 years as a player so I know how the game works. (PS: Scotland plays a bit dirty, but don't tell me mam, OK?)
