Well my sport is basbeball but it is hard to really follow it from this distance. It is on tv once, sometimes twice a week but in the middle of the night and never a team I care about. They are always west coast teams because of the time difference. Which is great for those people but not for Philly gals like me.
I played footie when I was a kid and my sister is just plain awesome at it (coaches now but was very good at school). It wasn't until i moved to Europe that I saw just how it dominates so much of the life outside of USA. I can't even say North America cause Mexico is footie mad too. I truly love it now and whats more I love knock out competions in general. So, the world cup is the perfect combo for me.
Btw..anyone in the UK needs to go to this link and down load their own mini motty.
