World Cup
I've been following the 2006 World Cup in Germany, partially because I spent $20 to join a pool (currently in 1st place!), but also since I played for my school team in junior high school. I wasn't really good at it; I think not enough people signed up or something. At the beginning of the season, I didn't have soccer cleats so I was slipping and falling all the time. I think my uncle Charles bought me a pair of cleats later on. I did buy an illustrated book on how to play soccer, like looking at diagrams of free kicks helped me play better.
I still don't have cable in my apartment but I did buy a cheap VHF/UHF antenna this weekend. The signal for ABC comes in pretty well but they don't show that many games (most of the games are on ESPN/ESPN2). However, every game is shown live on one of the many Spanish language TV stations. I got up at 6am this morning to watch the Korea vs. Togo match. I also watched part of the USA vs. Czech Republic match; I don't think the US will make it to the 2nd round.
did you watch the brazil vs. croatia match today? man, that was a great match. croatia pretty much played brazil head to head, had lots of great chances but just couldn't convert, otherwise they would've been 1:1 tied. you should go to a sports bar to watch (that's where I go w/ my friends) the atmosphere is way better than watching it at home.
