SleepyWhiteSox Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 Well, I wasn't really expecting to see a thread about it, but I might as well throw it out there to see if anybody else watched the game. It was an excellent World Cup qualifier game today between USA and Mexico played in Mexico with Mexico winning 2-1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WilliamTell Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 (edited) QUOTE(Nokona @ Mar 27, 2005 -> 10:19 PM) What is soccer? um I think it's when you skate on ice trying to hit something into a goal, not sure though.

SleepyWhiteSox Posted March 28, 2005 Author Share Posted March 28, 2005 More or less the responses I was expecting... One serious post followed by a couple of dumb ones. I was surprised to hear they're playing in Birmingham on Wed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry about it SleepyWhiteSox, I get the same response when I post something about hockey. Some people don't realize that those two sports are huge in places not named America. And, while I'm not a fan of soccer myself, I certainly respect those players. They gotta be in some real, real good shape -- the soccer field is friggin' huge. And, I saw highlights of the game. I guess it was pretty intense, huh? Didn't the Mexican coach get kicked out as well as one of their players? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't the Mexican coach get kicked out as well as one of their players? Agreed. I've really gotten into soccer, since I've been at IU. I used to really only get into it around the World Cups, or what not. However, I've it's a real solid sport to watch. Crowds are big here for the games. Also, it's not too bad watching a team with back-to-back championships, and 7 championships overall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiSox_Sonix Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 FWIW, the U.S. beat Guatemala 2-0 on goals by Johnson (his 8th in 8 career games) and Ralston.

I missed the first half, but the 2nd half was quality soccer. Not usually something you see when the US is playing Guatemala. A lot of solid attacks for the US when they were trying to get that 2nd goal. It's fun to watch when the US plays these Central American countries and just dominates play pushing to get that goal or 2. This is true of any soccer game when one team is far superior. Soccer is a solid sport, you have to learn what is going on though otherwise it just seems monotonous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFan1 Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 The real news is Serbia and Montenegro tying Spain 0-0 in a thriller. Kezman missed an open goal that bounced off the cross-bar. Serbia leads the Group with 11 pts, Spain in 2nd with 9, and 2 teams tied for 3rd with 7. GO SERBIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holy hell that is a huge upset, but I'm sure the soccer haters are laughing at the 0-0 thriller. The thing about those games is that it's fun to watch them while they are happening, but then when it's over you realize it's 0-0 and think 'aw f*** what a rip, no goals.'
