´óÏó´«Ã½

I've been watching the WC best that I can, here in the US.

Try as I might, I cannot seem to get any of my friends to be even remotely interested.

Their lack of interest in soccer lie along the lines of "the field is too big", and "too low scores, it's boring".

I cannot disagree more, but I also can't seem to convince them to even give it a try. Personally, I'm pulling for England (win win win!) and Italy. Those are "my" teams.

The other problem with soccer here in the US - I find it HARD to find the coverage. I spent today on the FIFA website (okay I was at work but that's when the matches are - its not my fault!) hitting refresh every minute to try and keep up.

Eventually I found my way to the EuroSport website where they do a running written commentary on the match! That was actually the best because I could basically follow what was happening, rather just the goals (as with the FIFA site).

Coverage here in the US really isn't pervasive or even convienient, so that makes being a fan harder. Maybe if the US does well this year, it will come along and be more popular, but after the last US match...I can't see that happening. Oh well. Go England! Go Becks! Go England!
