World Cup:

_ Might be time to turn auto complete off.

I get soccer, I just don't get women's soccer. If that makes me a chauvinist pig so be it. Why in god's good name would I watch women play a sport men dominate? I find soccer to be enthralling. It's a strategic game that makes people hold their breath anytime the ball gets near the goal. That kind of suspense is unique to soccer. I find women's soccer a poor knock off of the male equivalent. I enjoy soccer, but for ____'s sake I will never be so hard up for it that I will watch women try to play it. That's my opinion. _

Then you do not like any women's sports period except softball? Not saying that's wrong. I can't watch a lot of women's sports, but I can watch soccer and tennis, and men dominate those sports as well.

I'm guessing you haven't watched any of the world cup? There are plenty of bad women's teams out there but the top teams are great to watch and they play at a very high level. The US passes like an EPL team, the Brazillian women play "the beautiful game" even better than their male counterparts, and the Japanese team controlled possession like a great Barca team. I was very impressed by the speed, accuracy and tactics that I saw by those top level teams. And there is still all the tension and excitement that makes Soccer so great. That US game vs Brazil was more exciting than the US-Algeria game where Donovan chipped in the winner in the last seconds. I spent the rest of that day saying "I can't believe that just happened!" I'm honestly not a huge women's sports fan but the women's world cup was a real pleasure to watch. Impressive stuff really.

Naw, US-Algeria was more exciting but I did get hyped up for the women's team.
