I'm not all that much of a soccer fan but I appreciate sports that this level no matter the sport. When I was a student in Mexico City several decades ago, I was dating a soccer player. Actually, he was mostly a rich kid who dabbled in graduate school, soccer, and auto racing. He and I attended many soccer games and my major recollection about that experience was that I never once saw a goal scored. I was always talking to someone or sipping my beer. I never got the hang of the game enough that I could anticipate just when to pay attention. Now, with instant replay, I have a fighting chance. I must say, though, that I watched every minute of the replay of the game between the US and Mexico and was spellbound. I've always adored Kornheiser and I especially like the Kornheiser/Wilbon pairing. They keep me in stitches.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but many Germans rank soccer behind only "full scale war" as the favorite sport of the country. (Hey, how about France, huh? Talk about gagging on the fromage! Three games, no goals. Au revoir, Pierre. Isn't it just like the French to go out early and leave it up to us to beat the Germans?) ................................................................................................................................................................
