With the World Cup going on, I didn't even know that tonight is the NBA draft, crazy cause I usually enjoying reading up on the trade rumors of the day. Just found out from the front page of clutchfans..... BTW congrats to Japan fans, those were great free kicks that y'all scored from, rare during this world cup, nice to see as I enjoy watching goals like that.
That was....EPIC!!!!! :grin: And I'm quoting the video so it's seen on the next page. insane. Thanks.

Spoiler In response to posts from page 123 JayGoogle - No, no, no. Constant timeouts, stop and start play, a smaller playing field with fewer players, it's just not comparable. There's no way to quantify imagination and this scares you. You need a numerical value for everything to establish a comfort zone. To sleep at night. To brush your teeth in the morning, you need to know you spent atleast 30 seconds in each molar region. Otherwise, you feel unworthy and inefficient. FYI, Chung Le, I was talking about the mentality of a nation and how it plays into the farm system, not the genetic makeup. The beauty of the sport is hard to understand for the spoilt brat generation and athletes who are not expected to think for themselves; as a result young athletes in the suburbs are much more inclined to go towards popular sports where they can be spoon fed directions and rely on size alone like football, basketball and baseball. But full marks to the media for shrewdly spinning the World Cup saga over the past week in an attempt to gas up the game. "Us against the world", "defying the odds", etc. after a week of b****ing and moaning and trying to Americanize the game with time outs and instant replays and who knows what else because they were the victim of 1 bad call. The US was lucky enough to be in the easiest group and they scraped through with an injury time winner in the 3rd and final game. They are definitely a better team than Algeria, but let's try to maintain some level of objectivity. It's understandable the media wants the fans to be carried away in a wave of sentiment (and sitting goats like Uprising have taken the bait), but this is still by and large a game that requires tremendous amounts of patience and not always getting a result, which Americans cannot relate to. It is for the artisans, not the pragmatists. So the real foundation for it to take off in this country is lacking. There will be no more discussion by me on this subject, because the point has been made. You can either choose to accept it and admire soccer for being something you are not, or conveniently ignore it and continue seeing things your way. These are the options I'm presenting to you at the expense of going around in circles trying to drill something into your head through repetition, which ppl here probably respond better to. Just call me, the anti-DD.

I'd LOVE to be in a moment with those guys cheering somewhere. I was at work. Hell, I would have love to have been in front of a tv with random strangers in the tunnels downtown. I remember a group in the 1100 Lousiana Building watching it. I'm sure people in the Allen Center grouped around. I bet people at the Houston Center were watching it. The closest moment like that for me was game 6 vs Portland. Rolling down the escalator chanting Beat LA was was pretty fun.
