So I love soccer!
Watching the World Cup was the highlight of my summer. That was all I did -go ahead, ask my mom, she couldn't get me off the couch even if the house was on fire- there wasn't a world outside my house and TV when the games were on!
I have to say though, I'm highly dissapointed.
These are MEN!
Why couldn't they act like it?! Every contact they made they were checking their body for any form of blood or injury. All they wanted was a foul or a card for the other team. It was pathetic. It got old fast. These are the best in the world and they were playing the rules. They train for 3 years to be here. Their country is standing behind them, cheering them on and what do they do? Trip themselves and roll on the ground like they were shot or something. (can you tell it bothered me)
Last saturday was the Germany - Urguay game. They were my favorite teams so of course they didn't win. Isn't that how it always goes? Anyway I had to record the game (Horror, I know) it was the Scotish Festival in Payson and if you're a Hancock, you're at the park all day long. Last night I finally had a moment, ok 90 moments, to sit and watch it and I must say I am so very proud to call Germany my favorite team of all time! They actually played the game!!! There were what, 2 yellow cards, not that many fouls and whenever someone was knocked over someone was there to help them back up! I'm proud of those 2 teams and THAT game was how the final should have been!
Now, 2014 Germany better win!!!!!! GO GERMANY!!! WOOT WOOT!
PS. isn't it kinda scary how annoying those horn things were and by the last 3 games you couldn't even hear them....maybe I'm going deaf....
I have always hated seeing athletes take a fall in a game. Basketball stars are notorious for it. Someone bumps them and they fall to the ground sliding back like it was enough force to take down a wall. Not manly.
