THE WORLD'S GAME??

Okay, so I thought I would give the world cup a chance and watch the championship soccer game Sunday afternoon on tv. Besides, I needed a nap and knew soccer would put me to sleep. I was right. I tried. I attempted to give it a chance, but give me a break. The two teams played for 90 minutes with a whopping 1-1 tie at the end of regulation. Some kind of action, huh? Then they go into two 15 minute overtime periods. Guess what? No one scored. Surprise. Surprise. And they call this drama? Then the game is decided on five free kicks per team. Mano a mano. Italy wins because they made more free kicks than France and the champion is crowned. Oh, be still my heart! They could have skipped the whole game, gave the 2 teams the free kicks and it would have been over in 10 minutes. Oh well, to each his own. But give me American football anyday!
