They're still playing?I say the same thing every time I see a bunch of foreigners running around a soccer field in a thrilling 0-0 corker. Please, is it over soon???? Can we make it, oh, TEN years between world cups? Please?Second Thought When Hearing About Lebron James:He's playing basketball for money...so why does getting more money make him a traitor?Actually, he's making less money than if he'd stayed in Cleveland...Third Thought When Hearing About Lebron James:They did not hire him because they are nice people. If he gets hurt, or if he cannot produce, they will all turn on him, ridicule him and then cut him from the team...so why is he supposed to feel loyalty to a city or a team?Basketball salaries are guaranteed anyway. Regardless, there is a right and wrong way to do things. I think you do owe a modicum of loyalty to an employer that has just guaranteed you, your children, your grandchildren, and maybe even your great grand children will never have to work again.Fourth Thought When Hearing About Lebron James:Someone watched an hour long show about a professional basketball player going to a new team...and they are publicly admitting that they watched? I actually don't know anyone that watched it except for sportswriters and fans from Miami, Cleveland, Chicago, New York, and people who enjoy seeing blood at train wrecks and multi-car accidents.Fifth Thought When Hearing About Lebron James:Oh God. I am more interested in the worst offensive lineman playing for the worst NFL team than I am in the best professional basketball player.LeBlow hasn't won anything, until then Kobe has that title....Mike B.

Shoddy officiating, boring games, low scoring snorefests, worse acting than the "Twilight" trilogy on the part of diving players, stubborn insistence on not embracing any sort of technology despite an urgent need for same, and to top it off, you can CHEAT and win! (Uruguay's handball that won the game for them....what the fuck was that? You gotta be kidding me...). Frankly the WWF holds more integrity, excitement and talent. The good thing? After tomorrow, I can pretend for four more years that this crap doesn't exist...because despite it's "popularity" I won't have to watch a match as American sports TV wisely concentrates on showing baseball, basketball, and REAL football rather than this pile of poop. Good riddance, and get it off my TV. Mike B.

With the exception of Robben, I wouldn't expect to see too many theatricals and with the two best passing teams in the it could be a 3-3 draw or a 1-0 win, but either way, it'll include fast attacking end to end football and should be a belter!
