I hear alot about Brad Pitt's baby, George W's goal to ruin Western civilization, and why X-Men III is lacking compared to Superman Returns. I have yet to hear one word spoken on the soccer matches of the day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24264973.post-1152216812843300432006-07-06T15:13:00.000-05:002006-07-06T15:13:00.000-05:00I'm so pissed (no not drunk).

Baseball: a game where men are too scared to play a contact sport, too lazy to play a game where you have to actually run, too uncoordinated to play a game where eye-to-foot skill is required, and too stupid to know that football is THE international sport. <BR/><BR/>I always had a question for baseball players. Why do you wear a glove to catch a ball that boys and girls are totally capable of catching with their bare hands after a home run or foul ball? I mean, the ball is traveling at the same velocity, right? Yet, you don these huge webbed gloves. And you make mindless, comments about how difficult it is to score a goal in football?! I've never been able to sit through a whole game of baseball. Yeez. <BR/><BR/>And American football? I don't even know where to begin so I'll just say, "Stop calling it football." The only time it is ever touched by the foot is when the ex-footballer-who-is-now- playing-American-football-because he-can't-support-himself-on-a-MLS- salary kicks it through the chicken bone.<BR/><BR/>But every World Cup I have to endure the usual, mindless football bashing by brainless Americans. I'm living in the wrong country.<BR/><BR/>Lastly, all of my teams have lost: England, Brazil, Portugal. I too spent the weekend cheering and then booing. I'll still watch the final and I do agree with your choice. <BR/><BR/>Desidera l'Italia in tensione!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
