Yup, and Pro Women’s Tennis. French Open is going on right now. I got to watch Anna Kalinskaya win today. It was an eventful match
Well, there is that. I was happy to see a couple days ago that Serina is trying to make a comeback.

I asked myself if I was crazy, and we all said no.

I'm with ya', brother. Watching paint dry is more exciting than soccer (or football to the unwashed).
Edit: Guess I should have read the post above mine.

sourdough44I feel that way about most any sport on TV, though nothing against those that like them.

Lt CHEGIt just started today and I’ve already grown tired of hearing about it. I have dear friends that love the game and have even played the game at a high level but I just cannot get into the game. I don’t watch much of any sports nowadays but I find soccer particularly dis interesting.
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” June 11, 2026, 08:14 PM
spunk639There is nothing American about Soccer it's a 3rd world sport.

I've got to remember that line next week!
Politicians seem to have forgotten that they work for us, not the other way around.

preten2bSports were meant to be fun. Nowadays the salaries, hype, expense, and celebrity opinions have ruined much of it. This certainly includes soccer.

trapper189I watched a little, maybe 5 minutes, ping pong on TV a few days ago. I won’t be devoting that much time to the World Cup. In fact, this post is all the attention I’ll have devoted to it.
Two days ago while driving through Atlanta, GA, my son and I saw a sign over the roadway that said something about expecting additional traffic for a week or so due to a sporting event and I wondered out loud what sporting event could screw up traffic in Atlanta? Fortunately, yesterday’s drive through the Elk Capital of Michigan, Atlanta, was completely uneventful except for the two cars when I arrived at the four-way stop that were trying to figure out who goes first. The locals call it Spaghetti Junction.

Don't forget the entitlement, arrests for various offenses and the teams/organizations trying to cover up for them.

mindustrialFriend is going to Toronto, cheapest tickets he could get were $1000. Said they were face value 600 ea. and taxes fees etc.
Don’t know how “3rd world sports” can demand such insane prices.

smschulzLess than zero interest. Never liked soccer, never liked the characterization as "football" which it is not.

egregoreI care just enough about the World Cup, soccer or almost any other sport to write this post about how I don't care about them.
