95 minutes of gameplay and a score of 0-0? What is so fun about watching a bunch of girly men run around for an hour and a half?
I sometimes wonder what in the -blam!- the world is thinking. This is the most popular sport in the world, and but it is so boring that I fall asleep watching it? But then I realized that the reason the world loves it is because they can't afford to play a real sport.

The World Cup trophy alone is worth an estimated £41,764 ($60,607). [Edited on 06.12.2010 2:27 PM PDT]
