Nope, not watching. Though I did catch Vietnam's first match.

Sports is the opium of the asses.

Team sports that use balls. But not all sports. Reason being, once a sport becomes so wide spread and popular as to become a commercialized product and acquire whole sub-cultures into a following of fans, it becomes very obnoxious and the art of the game (whatever it is) is completely overlooked by the cynical no-sport-playing intellectual and social critic.

I have absolutely no more interest in the concept of football, soccer, baseball or basketball. Where once as a kid I thought the idea of the games were intriguing in their own right and actually enjoyed playing them. Played football mighty mights, tee-ball (lol), and soccer for four seasons during adolescence.

Today i can't get it off the TV fast enough and would rather watch a Jacuzzi Bath Remodel commercial over and over and suffer Christina's maddening monotonality as she reads the script and keeps hitting that same f****** note at the end of every sentence.

The concept of grown adults making multimillions playing a kid's game is ludicrous, I agree. That's why I like college ball more than the Pros and sports that aren't the big 5.

Really? Donkeys like sport?

[attofishpi]

Honestly. Spain were clinical and deserved the win, the skill level was amazing.

To the idiots that have posted with their pretentious twattery - if you think I am going to watch a football match around the corner, local and enjoy that level of skill, more than million pound footballers of the highest skill level - well,...f*** off clueless twats.

I don't care how commercial it's become. The fact that a player from Africa where the villagers saw potential and all chipped in to by the lad a pair of football boots can have a career where he can play the sport he loves and make a shitload of money at it...bloody good on 'em!!

..and I benefit from watching those players at the highest elite level of the sport...it's a win/win.

(even tho my team Southampton got knocked out of the Premier League last season !!! ffs)

Spain's goalie caught the ball after a final corner kick

Spain wins... I might have been watching a rerun but it was a good game

Nah, you can't drink from this world 'cup' - they probably snort cocaine off of it. (sad pricks)
