    Most aren't fat. Baseball is relaxing & fun. And there is no flopping (almost).

    Like your chances vs Belgium, they played like crap in all their matches.

    Every game I'm waiting for Bradley to show up.
    Really hope Altidore is back by then.
    Belgium is weak for a 1 seed, but that doesn't mean they are a joke.

    i think the weather is getting to bradley to be honest. hes never had to deal with this weather when he was at roma and then in canada he obviously doesnt. bradley is a player that uses alot of energy so maybe thats it? hes only played in the south once with the MLS and thats when he came to dallas and even so that was in april....

    iono but hopefully he learns sooner then later.

    Schmelzer was on the provisional team, thats what I meant when I mentioned him-that maybe he should've been selected.

    Yeah I guess Durm at LB and then Lahm/Boateng or Großkreutz on the other side would seem better than trying to fit Howedes in at LB.

    Bradley hasn't really played well at all yet, but he has gotten better every game.

    I'll say soccer is more exciting than baseball, but baseball isn't boring, has more scoring, and has stats like a mofo. More stats than any sport by far.

    For the life of me I would never understand why someone would think that baseball is a more exiting sport than soccer. It is without a doubt the most boring major team sport in the world.

    I love baseball but it is definitely much more boring than soccer. Way too much standing around for me. Which is funny because in my experience it's the baseball lovers that have always been the biggest soccer bashers. Never understood it.

    If you don't like baseball, you don't like it. Not gonna argue with you.

    But as far as soccer goes it's the lack of scoring and ties that most of us detest. The ties especially, its no coincidence that american sports have all but eliminated ties. And while true they don't stand around in soccer, 95% of the game is just guys jogging around with no chance of scoring.

    Yet people watch golf.

    Maybe goals should count as 7 points each.

    I actually love baseball, you must have missed the part I said that. Even so I can admit it's really boring for the most part.

    And people watch baseball, the standing around doesn't bother people. I said that more to oppose your point about all the standing around in baseball making it unwatchable.

    I don't see the purpose of the football scoring comparison. There are usually at least 6-8 scores in every football game, not 2 or 3. And more importantly somebody always wins.

    Are you counting field goals? Because field goals are lame.

    Also, there's like 5 minutes of actual action in an NFL game.
