KRC Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Congrats Netherlands!I watched the game last night and I predicted Netherlands 4 Spain 1, so I wasnt that far off!Once the dutch scored their first goal Spain fell apart and couldn't compete with the pressure from the Netherlands, but I'm sure Spain will bounce back! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tthurman Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Okay, who will be lifting the trophy?I'm not a huge follower of this sport, but it seems Argentina is pretty tough. Then there's Germany and Brazil, and it seems some think Germany is the most well rounded team of the bunch.I was having a martiini at the Bonefish bar Thursday, and was shocked to see so many coming out to watch this event at the bar.<EDIT> a bar in the US Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hansolo77 Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 . . . really?Why can't I get into this? I know it's "football" although in the global term, wherein you moslty play with your FEET. The US term is "Soccer" whereas "football" is a bunch of guys in tight spandex playing with a ball that's not round, and is played mostly with your HANDS. I've tried to watch it, but can't get into it. It looks like a really slow version of hockey, the timer ticks UP instead of DOWN, and theres always some spanish guy yelling "Gooooooaaaal!" So yeah, am I American enough for ya? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So yeah, am I American enough for ya? Actually you seem un-American No offense to my State-side buddies but you wouldn't believe the amount of run-ins i've had with regards to "football". The clue is in the wording for those that need it pointed out, and i know some of you do, Foot> Ball. Football. This is a sport where a "ball" is controlled by a "foot". Only Americans call this "Soccer". Why? God knows. Let's examine "American Football": The primary tools for play? Hands. What is the definition of a "ball"? Most would say "round". Yeah i dunno why you guys name things the way you do, but you do So what do you call a sport that primarily uses hands, with a prolate spheroid object? Football! what?!
