| World Cup 2006
Well it's big news across the whole world. Even bigger news for the UK as it's the first time we've been able to watch a sporting event live in HD. And it rocks.
But, this is aimed squarely at our American friends:
1) Are you watching it? The World Cup gets world wide viewing fiquers that look like telephone numbers with international dialling codes attached. Yet football (yes, football NOT soccer) is still a minority sport for you. You're in this competition and have made great strides in your recent appearances. What's the interest level like.
2) If you are watching it:
a) How are you coping with a sport that doesn't stop for 45 minutes?
b) Does the American psyche grasp a sport where drawing, ie not winning can be good enough?
c) Can you understand the off side rule? This is to weed out the fakers.
This is obviously tongue in cheek, but I'm interested all the same.
