The weekend and time for some relaxation and just plain fun……..

The world is watching the World Cup….the very essence of what we Americans call soccer and the rest of the world calls futbol.  A great sport if one takes the time to learn a few things about it and gets over the fact that they cannot touch the ball with the arms or hands……we Americans cannot understand the concept of a tie in sports….we are programed to understand wins and loses……but ties are beyond our comprehension.everyone was all tingly because the USA v Portugal was the most watched soccer game in US history…….but let’s be honest….it was all sports nuts had….football over…hockey over……NBA done…..all that is left is B/ball and you can watch soccer and go back to b/ball and not miss much…..it was not a preview of more interest in soccer……

I watch futbol as often as I can…..my team in pro soccer in the US is DC United……UEFA it is Barcelona….English premier league it is Swansea….and now the World Cup…of course I am pulling for the US of A….if not them then Espana or France….so far this Cup Spain is out and US and France are still hanging in there.

But one of the benefits of watching the World Cup is just one thing……the action on the field is amazing once you understand what is happening….but there is another benefit……..I could go on esoterically about the beauty or the purity or the explosiveness…….but……

 

 

 

 

Okay, you may think me a dirty old man and maybe I am……but these young women are far superior to some hairy fat guy painted green with a foam cheese wedge on his head……

Think of me as you wish but with fans like these I will take Futbol over any other sport 1000 times over.

GO USA….USA…..USA!

PS……..USA lost to Germany 1-0 but they still qualified for the knockout round thanx to Portugal beating Ghana 2-1….next opponent…. Belgium on 01 July……..
