Awesome goal….

Still not a fan of the sport, but definitely a fan of the USA. Of course when it gets down to it, I am usually just a fan of my team and don’t watch random games of other teams playing (if France played Albania I wouldn’t be tuned in).

Take the NFL… For three full seasons the NFL was banned in CardiffBaseball’s household. I don’t care if guests were over visiting if you turned on the NFL on my TV, you were under threat of immediate expulsion from my house. Since I am mellow, peaceful and generally not passionate about any damn thing, most people gave me rope on this one and knew that I was damned serious about it. You turn on the NFL you will get run and I didn’t watch a single Super Bowl though I do recall being stuck at a SB party, I just stayed away from the tele…

(The 1996-1998 seasons).

I know what bone bruises can be like because I USED to (not anymore) pitch to boys without L-Screen protection. In general I stacked two buckets because I can always project myself frow waist up but the bat speed off of juice up composite bats was too much to get to the low ball. One time my foot was dangling and didn’t make it back, and it hit me so hard I had a second kneecap for about two hours. Never saw such swelling and no break, just a deep bone bruise that took a few weeks to heel. In fact about 2-3 months later I had a vein burst down in my foot which was a result of that impact. So I am sure this stuff can hurt….

I just mean the fake stuff, and guys acting as if they are hurt. I really don’t like that.

By the way iforget let’s not cherry pick your great us athletes. Do you think it’s any coincidence that your typical HS 100 meter stud is also the running back on the football team? Have you checked the vertical leap on these guys which is a indicator of the power contained within their posterior chain? I didn’t see any centerfielders in your list. Do you see many guys on the US team you’d thrown in for Rickey Henderson?

And let’s not forget the way Barkley embarrassed the rest of the world despite being a few pounds over ideal weight. Strange that none of the prissy Euro basketball players could handle him despite the fact that they “looked like athletes”.

Don’t forget hand-to-eye coordination, depth perception, reaction time, etc. The US team is comprised of our best soccer players, but not really our best athletes. Regarding the weight my feeling is there is a certain amount of weight in anaerobic (i.e. power/strength) sports that seems to be ideal for each guy and for that player it’s an individual thing. Certain positions you don’t want to lean out excessively.

Sophisticated? Hilarious.

Look I am doing my part. My foreign born wife was just impressed that I understood what it took for my Americanos to advance (win and in, or various other scenarios). My guess is you wouldn’t understand the implications of the West Coast offense vs. standard drop back.

No matter I really freakin’ hate comparing sports. Either a sport stands on its own or it doesn’t. There are very kids out there who actually learn how to hit a baseball who think it’s boring.

I am fine with World Cup right now it’s a nice diversion since the NBA (greatest overall athletes on the planet in my opinion) is over, baseball is in early stages and football camps are just getting underway. Perfect time for some world cup action. College baseball and that damn “ting” is not that appealing other than deciding whether I should push the kids a little harder to play post-high school.

I guess we are going to have to say screwing with the refs has become an art form. Maybe FIFA can consider adding another referee to the field?

I take back everything I said about Pau Gasol being a puss.

I watched more soccer yesterday as I was forced to at BJ’s with the direction I was sitting.

As an ugly-american I am going to speak for all americans. If the world ever wants us to love this sport, these grown men better grow a pair and quit acting like ballerina’s when they get touched. It’s disgusting to see men act this way.

If you’ve never laced up football pads you cannot possibly imagine how violent the contact is. Yet, running backs often take the contact and keep playing through it. Yes that is part of the game, but that is WHAT WE LOVE. We love seeing Bo Jackson blast through Bosworth, not seeing some sissy flopper flail about trying to draw a yellow card. This is a country who appreciates MMA fighters, and standing tall not tail between the legs guys trying to get one over on the officials. I’d like to see the US do well, but man I hope our guys don’t act this.
