Totally agree about the rolling around part.  Wow.  Soccer boys are pansies.  You want to watch good soccer (which, I know, you don't), watch the women play.  They don't roll around and cry for the ref's attention- they rip off their shirts and jump on one another.

I've played all my life, like the game, and this is the first world cup I'm kind of paying attention to- mostly b/c all the crying turns me off.  Maybe I've gotten used to it?  But when the women played their World Cup here at RFK- I was there.

I'm definitely an American Football fan, and it and baseball are my two
favorites. I played a bunch of sports growing up - including soccer -
and while I was actually decent at soccer, I'd rather have been a bench
warmer in football than a starter on the soccer team.

I don't doubt for a second that those guys are great athletes. That's a
lot of running around, something like 2+ miles a match per player
(excluding goalies)? That requires incredible stamina - that, plus
rolling around on the ground each time you get bumped. Lots of energy
there.

Seriously, Nancy Kerrigan didn't cry and roll around as much as some of
these Euro-Mulletheads playing soccer, and she got hit on her knee with
a frickin' lead pipe! She's got more moxie than half of those one-named
buggers playing soccer.
