If you didn't grow up with it and you're not a fan of soccer, it's
unlikely you'd understand its allure. In my estimation, it's the most
free flowing and creative of professional team sports.

One thing I like over hockey is that they don't have the commercial breaks
and stoppages all the time.
I tune in to the World Cup while doing my treadmill and BowFlex exercises
and the time passes fast... if I'm watching normal programming, I'm
constantly reaching for the remote to mute commercials.
Today I saw the first half of Greece & Nigeria.
I didn't think you had a room wide enough to set up a bowflex machine.

They are in separate rooms, little schitt.
