You mak...You forgot to mention who said hotty is! <br /><br />You make such excellent points for why soccer is a great spectator sport, even without the hotness factor. I never thought about how you won't have commercial interruptions and when a goal is actually scored, it's special because the players have to work so very hard for even one point. <br /><br />I used to play soccer (a little) and was surprisingly good at it when I was younger. It is a great sport.Cathy Keatonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18356112948372149785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7530705972708152378.post-52781192215895123112012-02-28T22:48:41.326-07:002012-02-28T22:48:41.326-07:00Football hasn't really caught on where I live,...Football hasn't really caught on where I live, so I don't get bitten by the bug until the World Cup rolls around again. And then I just end up cheering for another country's team because my country doesn't have its own. That's changing, though, and football is slowly building a bigger profile here. <br /><br />(A friend once told me about a World Cup "map" he had seen, in which every country was filled in with its national team colours. There were only two grey areas: the Philippines and Laos. I felt left out and pathetic.)Enbrethilielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03414765854670926854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7530705972708152378.post-25435042683647506422012-02-28T21:08:57.158-07:002012-02-28T21:08:57.158-07:00LOL!

When we were in Edinburgh at a restaurant, there was this group of really good-looking, very muscular guys sitting in the middle at a big, round table and people were looking at them like you look at people you admire. Occasionally, someone would approach them and get an autograph. It turned out they were soccer stars, but I don't recall what team. But, man . . . in person? Those guys are definitely HOT.Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7530705972708152378.post-79891346538908054652012-02-28T16:01:39.291-07:002012-02-28T16:01:39.291-07:00Hahahahaha!

I'm not much into sports in general, and it's mostly because of what you mentioned--all the timeouts and hours upon hours when the clock keeps on stopping... I have little patience for it.
