[> [> [> [> ..except when we wuz robbed. And fully into - not into fully.... and who says fully into, anyway? Now I can wrap my head around soccer since basketball is no longer begging for my attention. -- Carrotts - whew, and happy for ESPN radio, 13:58:35 06/18/10 Fri

[> [> [> Now, if Pele were still playing, I'd pay money to see THAT!!! Lucia, you'd be surprised how soccer has gained increased popularity here in the 'States. I know some guys my age who were attending World Cup parties...of course, they were held at bars, so there is a likelihood that the prospects of liquid refreshment being plentiful was a contributing factor! -- Postrider, who couldn't even "look" at a beer for breakfast (when some of these games were being televised!, 15:53:08 06/18/10 Fri

[> [> [> [> [> Nobody could control the ball like Pele. He was that one-of-a-kind talent who was just a magician with the ball. -- Postrider, and Carrotts was right, we WUZ robbed!!!, 05:53:54 06/19/10 Sat

[> [> [> [> [> [> [> We "wuz" robbed when we scored against Slovenia and it was called a foul on us when WE were clearly held and thus fouled! We wuz robbed again today against Algeria when we were called offsides scoring a goal where the Algerian defender and the goalie were behind the ball--but we won anyway in the additional time; so, the U.S.A is now in the round of 16, too. Let the fun begin!!! -- Postrider, watchingthe U.S.A. win its group for the first time since 1930--we've come a long way, baby--but it took a loooong time to do it!!!, 12:19:46 06/23/10 Wed

[> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> And I have to learn that I am not in a private office any more and I can't YELL when we get a goal. They don't take kindly to that in a cubicle village. -- Carrotts - missing her old haunts, apologizing to the other meerkats, 12:34:01 06/23/10 Wed

[> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> Don't worry, Carrotts. My eighteen year old cat was watching with me, intently listening to the drone of those horns when I let out a howl. He looked at me, looked back at the television and must have thought in his wise, catly way, "These humans!" and walked off sedately. (He's probably a little hard-of-hearing...) -- Postrider, waiting for Saturday and our next game..., 17:52:50 06/23/10 Wed

[> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> Well, we "WUZn't" robbed...we just threw up our hands and gave up two goals...better luck in FOUR years...to borrow the Chicago Cubs saying. Now, as to Brazil? Good luck, Lucia. Argentina and Germany look pretty good to me. -- Postrider, who'd a thunk that at my age, I would have rediscovered soccer (er, futbol, er football). NAH! Soccer!!!, 12:11:53 06/28/10 Mon
