  6. Oh the fun in this house starts again in August. Louis is probably leaving Liverpool, Moyles was sacked by Man Utd. It's an open playing field this year people. You're all invited round for beer and crisps every Saturday and Sunday afternoon.

  13. I have cousins who've played professionally. One of them was in the Jr Olympics. Football (soccer) is big in our family.

    I frankly can't be arsed about it though.

  14. I'm ready for football season!

  15. I'm ready for the Tour de France!!!

  16. I agree Enty, I care only during championships of most sports except American football. I buy the DirectTV football ticket and watch as many games as possible.

    ReplyDelete
  17. The Dutchies are still in, so I'm still in.

    I watch Toronto FC games on the TV occasionally.

  18. I have friends who watch Formula 1 racing early Sunday mornings, the price you pay for being fans of European athletes

  19. It'll be salt and vinegar flavour crisps Sandy. We go the whole hog when we have guests.

  20. Nope. Next year is the women's World Cup and I'll care about that a hell of a lot more than I did this years World Cup.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Never cared about it now.

  24. More like 'till the twelfth of never at my house.

  25. Uh, I never cared and never will. Playing it in school made me hate it. Team sports are a definite nope for me. Well, except basketball, love to watch it.

  26. I'm on board with Omar - Real FOOTBALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    E A G L E S!!!!!!!!!!!

  27. Kaká is not really the biggest deal. He has been a former player for a couple of years. He will probably be great in the US (as Villa will be in NY), because your league lacks real quality, but in Europe he has been like a crippled dude.

    Now you Americans can watch sports where crackers are just tokens, and the players are criminals in their main percentage (not related to race, just to nationality) like basketball, your football (best named as hand-stewiegriffin, or baseball).

  28. There are far more people who do actually watch and care about footy than you might think.
    USA did fantastic yesterday. I was hoping they'd go all the way to the final, with the Dutch winning, but it wasn't meant to be.
    In fairness, the Belgium team all first team players. A lot of champs on that team.
    My weekends revolve around footy. I grew up watching it.
    GGMU and the reds go marching on on on!

    ReplyDelete
  29. Was dead impressed with the US footie team but at the end of the day they lacked that end product in the box. Belgium absolutely deserved to go through.

    But yeah, 'mon the Netherlands and Man Utd in Aug!

  30. We could talk about wrestling, specifically about Kurt Angle returning to TNA! I am unreasonably happy about it, now if only RVD would get on over to TNA then my life would be complete!

    ReplyDelete
  31. Nope. We love soccer in my house. For those of us who live in the NY/NJ area (Count, I'm talking to you), you really need to hit a NY Red Bulls game. They are a BLAST!

    ReplyDelete
  32. Orlando does have a team... but no one in Orlando really cares. I'll be interested in the next World Cup should the USA win a couple games. Until then... basketball has my cheering section.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Not me.........Premier League, La Liga, Ligue 1 and Serie A. August to May.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Nope. I love football (both NFL and soccer-type) and will watch it every chance I get. So do two of my three sons. The third doesn't like any sports at all.

    ReplyDelete
  35. I didn't care this YR and I won't care in 4 YRS either.

  36. Women's World Cup is next year in Canada. Maybe Hope Solo will stay out of prison long enough to participate.
