If you want to talk about fútbol, you can do it here.

¡Viva Honduras!

How 'bout that ref yesterday, amirite?

[TheGreatErenan]

The sport is mostly about falling down at the most opportune moments, right?

[.Memories.]

Seriously.

Even in today's game they are making some pretty poor offside calls..

One of the many reasons I can't enjoy soccer, even though sometimes I try.

Another reason: yesterday Brazil pulled ahead 2-1 with about 30+ minutes left, and the announcers have already started "it will take a miracle for Croatia to come back now". I'm thinking 'there's still 30 minutes left, that's an eternity!', but unfortunately it's true, it's too easy in soccer to sit back on even a 1 goal lead.

[.Memories.]

Yeah, unless I have a stake in a specific team playing, I'll always root for the one who's not in the lead.

Wow! Was anyone expecting Netherlands to beat Spain 5 to 1?

I actually had Spain pegged as a favorite to win it all . . . now very much doubting, though Netherlands is a great team that may have wanted revenge for 2010.

How bout that group of death? Looks bleak as far as USA escaping group rounds this year.

Did you really expect them to beat France?
