The World Cup

 I don't get soccer (or 'football' as most of the world calls it).

It goes on forever and there's almost no scoring.

Yet the crowds chant and cheer and sing to whole time.

And videos from Spain showed what must have been 3/4 of the country on the streets in the middle of the night celebrating.

Nevermind the penalties--they run into each other and kick each other all game long...what makes some of that a foul?

But I did like this about the World Cup Championship game--how loudly and long they boo-ed our 'so-called president'.

That may have made soccer my favorite sport....
