Me, well I'm not so into it.The games I'm "most" interested in are the ones that England and Germany plays in, if I'm lucky there'll be a England vs Germany one 28+ years of training - and knowing the more I learn, the less I actually know...

June 30, 201412 yr Personally i don't like the sport, because of all the acting that the players do just to get penalties. If they were serious and didn't decide to act the foul just to get a penalty, then i would watch it. Considering the size of the pitch I am surprised many penalties are given. Also what puts me off the sport is the spectators, because those who attend the matches do go overboard with their celebrations and the amount of violence that i've seen at them. I prefer basketball, rugby (Union + League) and Australian Rules Football (AFL) because players take the games seriously and not act fouls/penalties. The Spectators as well behave themselves, with the exception for a few matches where the spectators get out of hand. And Basketball is one of the hardest to officiate because you have to make split second decisions and everyone has a different view on things where they think it is one thing and another has a different view on it. Plus there are so many official interpretations given by FIBA and interpretation of the rules by the referees.

June 30, 201412 yr Author Holland's first goal was a good strike.Costa Rica played well with 10 men; I thought their forward Cambell was brave to take a spot kick. I always follow underdogs that do well. Look to the far mountain and see all.
