I’ve got the Fever

Thursday, June 15th, 2006

…World Cup Fever.

I don’t know what’s wrong with me. Yesterday I watched with bated breath the Saudi Arabia vs. Tunisia match. I didn’t even know where Tunisia was until I looked it up (it’s a small North African country boardered by the Mediteranian, the Sahara, Algeria and Lybia).

As most of you American’s know, Soccer or “Football” isn’t really big in this country. Which actually sucks. I can’t imagine people would rather watch something as horribly boring as baseball over soccer. Maybe it’s because people are jealous ’cause there’s no way they could run non-stop for 90 minutes (ok so there’s a half time but it’s still damn impressive).

And I’m not a pot calling the kettle black here. I like soccer. I always watch it if it’s on TV (not often) and flip by it. And I’ve even been to a DC United game!

Soccer really should be more popular in the states, I mean what is there not to love?
