Is anyone else watching?
I typically detest soccer; however, I have been watching the World Cup.

No, my detestation for football remains undiminished.

I was watching but since France played so bad Ive only been following scores. The US is doing well even with the bad call by the ref.
I cant stand those stupid horns though (angry bee swarm) so when I do watch a game I have to mute the sound.

I don't understand that angry bee swarm, either.

Haha, I love how the foreigners bemoan the Vuvuzela. :lol: Don't worry after a while you will get used to it. Yesterday when England played Slovenia, the stadium was filled with England fans so you could hardly hear the drone. I must admit I have become so used to it, it didn't feel like I was watching a World Cup game.

I would generally rather watch paint dry than watch soccer.

I haven't watched a single game so far during the competition, but I do sometimes 'do the math' to work out who CAN'T possible advance to the next round and what goals and results are required for teams TO advance.

I will sometimes watch games when it is down to the last 4 teams.

I will usually watch the final if either team is from South America or is an undergdog

If Brazil is playing (I am not Brazilian), I will be cheering for them regardless of who is playing against them. :wink:

Enjoy the competition or watching the paint dry :lol:
