Ger vs Swe

12 minutes in, Ger - 2 Swe - 0. This really isn't even a game.

I havent followed the World Cup, but I am surprised not to see the US there. Its a bit depressing actually.

Why? Soccer isnt a US sport, really.

I guess because I live here, and it would just be nice is all.

Well if we didnt suck, we would still be up there

I know, but it still would have been nice.

Besides, unless you actually watch ESPN daily, if you hadnt wandered into this forum, you'd probably never had known it was World Cup time. US cares that much about broadcasting and advertising.

This isnt the Olympics. We arent good at soccer so we dont watch it.

We WERE there, we just didn't do very well, and didn't make it past the first round.

I actually knew it was World Cup time because my brother watches it. It's annoying really, he watches it on the Big flat screen HDTV when he has a perfectly good 19 inch tv in his room.

Gidan is PMing me to change the TV at 2 when the game starts. He has it set up that the satalite runs through his computer so he can watch it at work.

Hailey and I are having fun watching Cartoons.

As he should be. The world cup is probably the biggest sporting event in the world. It really does rival the olympics. He should be watching it on the big screan HDTV.

On a side note. The riot police are out again in germany following the game. Eglish and German fans are going at it.

Bah, quit whinning. The world cup only lasts about a month. After that you can go back to watching Ashlee Simpson and Paris Hilton videos. :wink:

The Kizzy · Post by **The Kizzy** » Sat Jun 24, 2006 11:54 am

I don't watch music videos, I watch important stuff like General Hospital, Hell's Kitchen, Grey's Anatomy, and South Park.

Post by **Gidan** » Sat Jun 24, 2006 12:27 pm

HAHAHA and I almost said the world cup is far more important then your soap operas.

I have to have some sort of outlet for drama, or I bring it here, which would you rather have? :wink:
