Haha. It was a good game for both teams. Glad to see some English posters giving respect where respect is due.

Status: offline 		I find soccer a bit too slow paced for me. Same with baseball. I am still trying to watch and enjoy the World Cup, however. I just watched Serbia vs. Ghana, which, as far as soccer goes, was a pretty boring game. Regardless, the World Cup is a great thing for sports and for the world. I love the competition and the nationalism for every country. Soccer is getting bigger and bigger everyday in America. 30 years ago very few people in the USA played soccer. Now in my generation almost every child plays soccer and many more continue to play throughout high school and college. I expect the US to get stronger and stronger each year as soccer gets more popular here.

If the foul was bad enough then you get a red card and are sent off the pitch and will have a further ban from future games.....

That's what we Europeans are afraid. A combination of a large population and plenty of money could easily make the USA the greatest team in the world. Hopefully the majority of you will find it boring and stick to rounders....

I swear, sometimes I think I'm the only American that can't stand American sports...

Everyone I know finds soccer boring, and even my best friend only cares about about American football and Ice Hockey. Plus the word "soccer" sounds stupid anyway, it should be called football here in America.

I always thought "soccer" was an American word to distinguish it from their style of football. Alas, it's an English invention - an abbreviation of the word "Association" as in Association Football (Britain's term to distinguish it from the original Rugby Football - amongst others).

What is the Pitch? The playing field and if so why is it called the pitch?
