Crissy Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 There are many WC fans here. Do a quick search for Colleen's recent posts and you'll find us. ;) I agree with you, Mary. I won't know exactly what to do with my early mornings when the World Cup ends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

babysparkler Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 I will miss WC too:(. Though, our family typically has 4-6 days of soccer (practice/games) per week... so I guess we won't have too much withdrawl :D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crissy Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 Tour De France started today.. It really has been a big week in sports. World Cup Wimbeldon Tour de France NBA draft Locally, the Little League All-Star baseball tournament began today. My husband's team won 13-1 in game one. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary in GA Posted July 4, 2010 Author Share Posted July 4, 2010 Too funny! Don't come here often. Looking for an outlet. I'll do a search as you suggest. I love the play and the pageantry. Soccer is a game that takes a good while to learn and appreciate. I have had kids playing at select level for past 12 yrs. I understand so much more than last wc cycle. I play on my local over 30 co-ed team. I totally suck, but I love it! I LOVE, LOVE soccer!!! I support the MLS even though they by and large suck (compared to EPL and such!) It's getting better, though (our fields are too narrow!) I am passionate about the game. LOVE IT!!! Mary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have had the opportunity to learn a bit, however, since my husband has been the team photographer for the Seattle MLS team. My favorite matches are the friendlies with international teams. Late this month Celtic FC is coming to town! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love Klose, Scweinsteiger! Wish we could see as much Bundesleiga as we can EPL on tv! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know too much about what's going on this summer, but I have seen friendlies eg Galaxy v Barcelona and in my own town Club America v AC Milan and this summer v Manchester City. Whenever an MLS team plays a friendly in the states v a European club, it's always a sell-out. I am hoping that one day soccer in the US will draw such crowds on its own!

sagira Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 Gosh, I love to watch soccer. Germany is my favorite team! I also root for the Netherlands, as I'm a Dutch Citizen, but don't know what I'll do if Germany -Netherlands square off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am fascinated by the ugly, skimpy tennis dresses as of late. Also, how do the Williams sisters wear such small outfits and stay inside them during vigorous play? I couldn't cross to the other side of a room in such an outfit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary in GA Posted July 4, 2010 Author Share Posted July 4, 2010 The Netherlands upset over Brazil was awesome. And I am so glad that FIFA changed their decision and credited Schneider (sp?) with the first goal instead of maintaining that it was an own-goal. That was just!
