Woof !! a draw !! whodathunk ?! All played real good. Ok, so Green screwed up, but other than that him and Howard were on the bounce. Brits seemed to slow down second half. Oh well.

Gosh all hemlock those vu-vu-vu-vuvulas are anoying arent they? They sound like demented honey bees in the background. Wnat's up with that?

If anyone was going to score for the US it was going to be Dempsey, especially as I decided not to have a wee bet on him scoring

I'd have to say it was a lucky goal rather than a good one, from that distance they all fall into one of those categories.

Not a bad game, certainly there was potential for more England goals and the US could (should in fact) have scored when Altidore got his head to a good cross.

They've already started pointing out that we drew the first game of the '66 World Cup

I enjoyed the match. Much more so that we got a (gracious gift of God) point out of it. Altidore should have scored on his breakaway that hit the post. I was less impressed by the header.

Anyway, England has a solid side with real striking power. Our keeper had to make some serious saves. One thing I must say is that against pace in the front, England's D had exactly one play: the takedown. Must have counted 10 of them.

As much as I love listening to football commentary in a nice brogue, I'll be watching the rest of the matches silently because of those butt horns.

Teddibly sorry, England... it appears that we scored when you weren't looking. Was it tea time?

Saw The Departed last night. I was not all that impressed. Perhaps I it was because I was expecting something deep and philosophical.

Back from a weekend getaway with the wife. Very nice respite.

How're our Limey friends doing with the draw? No one opening up any veins (yet), I hope?

No, that's an excuse. They'll praise a 1-0 baseball game for being a masterpiece but curse a 1-0 soccer game as boring. Don't worry. Once the baby boomer generation and their stupid prejudices have died off, America will become a football power. Just about every kid born after 1970 has played soccer growing up. It's the 40 and up's that don't like the game. Because they are idiots.

Nah. I don't agree with this.

While I agree that playing (good) futbol requires a great deal of skill, I don't think that it (futbol) requires any MORE skill to play than jai-lai, lacrosse, cross-country equestrian, BMX racing, competitive gymnastics, NASCAR, NHL hockey, etc., etc.

It's not necessarily a prejudice, but a forced popularity contest that has turned many people off. Americans are told (by those that enjoy futbol) that they *should* enjoy futbol because it's very popular elsewhere in the world and that we're missing something by not appreciating the popularity of futbol. *We're* in thr wrong somehow-seen as primitive knuckle-draggers for not liking what the Europeans and Africans do.

Much like I *tried* to get into NASCAR to appease some of my Southern friends-but I couldn't. Not that I'm prejudiced, it's just not my cup of tea. I've tried it and found it wanting. So be it.

I'm allowed an opinion, am I not? Vive la difference and all that!

Oh, lastly...don't suggest that my parents or I are idiots for not finding this to our liking, please...
