So the World Cup kicked off today, already Mexico and South Africa have tied 1-1. It was a good game too. Futball (or soccer for us Americans) is the one thing that I really wish that I had a TV for. When I was in college, I used to watch the Spanish channel not because I understand a word of what the commentators said, rather because it meant that I could watch a game while I was doing school work. Or pretend to do school work. I would scare my neighbors, because I would be jumping up and down screaming at my TV. (my roommate would get as excited about Stealer's games, which I might add should not be called football because the ball is carried most of the game.)
What I find so amazing about Futball, is that no matter what language the game is being broad casted, you can watch it and understand what is going on. I usually know what all the calls are for (there aren't that many of them.) Also might I add that Futball is a game that is played around the world. And unlike the Baseball, where in the World series, America wins every year... Futball is really a world game, played on the world stage.
