JettsPapa Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 I absolutely don't mean this as criticism of people who enjoy futbol (or soccer, as we refer to it in the US), because I know not everyone enjoys baseball as much as I do, but when I hear it mentioned I'm often reminded of a comic strip I saw in the newspaper years ago during the World Cup. Two of the characters were sitting on the couch watching television when a third person walked in the room and asked what they were watching. One of them replied "The World Cup." "What's the score?" "It's tied at zero, but they've only been playing for six hours." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some sports I cannot bear watching for one reason or another. Golf comes to mind… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The announcers relatively low key commentary is nice background noise for naps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, fun fact...soccer was invented, the word, by the British. Hence the reason we adopted it and it also is used in Australia as well. Also, I dont think I have ever seen a 6 hour match. LOL, maybe in baseball or american football but never in football. Edited August 12, 2023 by Shadow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't get to watch any La Liga, I usually spend most my mornings watching the Prem. I did watch the replay and no surprise he scored on his competitive debut. They prob have the best midfield in the world atm in Bellingham-Modric-Kroos-Tchouameni-Camavinga-Valverde. The youth players are just too good to keep benched, so you see goated players like Kroos and Modric getting close to their end there. I have a feeling they win the CL this season, not City. Maybe even Bayern. The Prem will be beating each other up the entire season, so I don't think anyone else other than City will challenge, even my lads. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
