Congratulations to Italy for winning the World Cup. I actually watched the game, and I do have to admit that soccer is pretty neat to watch. What surprised me was how fast the game moves along. They play 90 minutes in...90 MINUTES! I am so used to American football with all its clock stoppages and time-outs and commercial breaks. But it does allow you to at least take a bathroom break without missing too much. I was also impressed with each team being allowed only three substitutions, and if a player gets injured after they have used up their allowable subs...tough titty. They play a man short. That's pretty awesome.
Anyway, I will be watching more soccer (soccer dammit, not football or futbol) in the future. Variety is the spice of life...except I will not watch golf.
