3 hours !!!! 2 goals !!!!
( I think it is my Attention Deficit Disorder - baseball is lost on me as well. When i was a child my father got me an electric train. I watched it go around in the circle once and said "And ...?")
On the plus side, with a surge of illegal immigration since 2006 TV ratings here are up from 1 million to over 2 million ( this is almost up into the numbers for re-runs of "Gilmore Girls" or 7 year old episodes of Law and Order <bg> )
( Okay, 17 million watched France-Italy in 2006 but I think they were really really drunk )
You would think they'd at least point the cameras at the crowds once in a while so we could see some violence!
And yeah, I'll watch today, cheering for *both* of my native lands to score - or do *something* <bg> Putting a mix of benzedrine and Ritalin on an IV drip ...

>Both games where individually relatively poor but in the scheme of things interesting. Especially Frances poor performance and the inability of their manager to react to how things where going. The bringing on of Thierry Henri especially showing a complete lack of imagination. The only problem I see is those bloody trumpets.

>>After all the excitement of yesterdays 1-1 and 0-0 shootouts I'm not sure people with heart conditions should be allowed to watch. ( baseball, however, remains quite safe <g> )

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin
Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
