What with Team USA in the “group of death”, I’m finding it hard to look forward to the World Cup with anything but trepidation. I’ll still watch every match though. (Must remember to be very nice to my wife…)
Well we’ve lost Rooney and Owen but as long as Stevie G stays fit we have a chance of winning.
COME ON ENGLAND! GERRARD FOREVER!!!
“The World Cup is without a doubt the world’s greatest sporting event”
HELL NO!
Some of you folks need to come experience the good old states where we have the SuperBowl, which is without a doubt the world’s greatest sporting event.
Other events better than The World Cup:
1. The World Series
2. The Stanley Cup
3. The Basketball Championship series
4. Monday Night Football
5. College Football
6. The list continues
Super Trim,
Is SuperBowl that stupid game that Yanks call football even though ‘soccer’ has been around longer, and you guys don’t even use your feet to play? Stop Start Stop Start Stop Start, run over a line and throw a cheap looking rugby ball. No thanks.
FACT: Football IS the greatest sport in the world. It is WORLDWIDE, whereas your crappy version of rugby with pads is a novelty.
By the way, when I say Monday Night Football and College Football, I mean the kind where you use your hands and beat the shit out of your opponents. Not the lame kind they play over there in europe.
well said Jim. I used to love the Super Bowl before moving to Europe, but now I think of it as a synonym for Big Toilet.
“… the SuperBowl, which is without a doubt the world’s greatest sporting event”
Don’t you just love this american ego inflation? Football (and I don’t mean that strange activity that you call football) is the most popular sport on earth. The Beautiful Game’s World Cup is the greatest sporting event af all.
End of discussion.
He he, Super Tim just punched above his weight.

“Some people think football is a matter of life and death. I don’t like that attitude. I can assure them it is much more serious than that.”
Bill Shankly, In Sunday Times (UK) Oct. 4 1981
Super Tim :
all of those sports you list are USA based. this is the WORLD cup as in a sport which is played in virtually every country in the world.
oh and before you try again with the “world series” – that was named after a newspaper and has nothing to do with being international.
I was actually able to convince my wife that a large HDTV screen would be good right about now, obviously just in time for the big show. And it is the group of death because the US is in it. We’re going to do to Italy what we did to Portugal in ’02. Go Yanks!!!
All team sports are gay.
Just a minute iMacUK, The NHL is totally dominated by Canucks. Football is still the most popular game in the world, just not among my fellows over there.
Baseball is international. So is Hockey. And this isn’t a question of which sport is more popular… it is a question of which is better. American Football is much better than European Football.
To extend my point, Microsoft windows is much more popular than Mac OS, but we all know that Mac is better. So popularity clearly isn’t the determining factor of quality. If you all gave American sports a chance (like I have european sports… I am a Chicagoan and we have a soccer or “football” team called the Chicago Fire), you would realize that they are just plain more exciting and fun.
What are we all doing talking about sports though?? We’re supposed to be computer geeks.
Soccer is a communist sport
A.G. Fudgepacker
Soccer, a communist sport? Tell that to the capitalist team owners who pay big bongo-euros to their players!
Although I am by no means a soccer fan, I do pay attention to the World Cup. It is an exciting event. I tend to find soccer a bit on the boring side although many would consider my favorite sport, baseball, to be boring as well. Maybe I just don’t see the strategy that goes into the game.
But please do not compare American football to Rugby. Don’t assume that American football is “sissified” because they wear pads. Because they wear pads, the contact is much more vicious than it is in Rugby. Rugby involves a lot of arm tackling. In American football, there is a lot more body on body. The smallest guys on the football field weigh in at 200 pounds. There are 250 pound guys who run a 40 yard dash in 4.5 seconds. Size + speed = Pain.
Its a very violent game actually. Just look at ex football players who are in their 50’s.
But the World Cup is exciting. Any sport involving many nations is fun. They just had the first ever World Baseball Classic this past March and I watched it alot. I was shocked to see Cuba win it.
The two things I do during the day (while not working) are read the mac forums and the soccer forums. Now I get both in one!
In June I’ll be taking my trusty iBook to Germany to blog about the games. I’m lucky enough to have tkts to the first two U.S. games. Glad to see there’s some content for my iPod as well.
While it’s an interesting analyze the Mac/Windows and Soccer/American Football comparisons, the analogy breaks down for me when I realize that the Mac will eventually win over the world, just as soccer does today. The Mac won’t reign supreme in popularity tomorrow, but its day will come.
Soccer will always rule the sporting world…there’s no doubt in my mind…there’s too much history in every corner of the world save the U.S.

i hate football!
My brother-in-law is a huge soccer fan — can’t wait to show this to him on the iPod.
And I like that the company will email a new version once all the rosters are finalized…very cool.

Remember, folks, Supertim is probably 13 years old and doesn’t even conceptualize of sports outside of the US. As a soccer fan tired of North American sports, I can say that his list is worthless. All 5 on his list were big maybe 25 years ago, but today are tired has beens. Even the Olympics, so huge in America 25 years ago, are barely tolerated here. Today sports in North America can be divided up very simply. if you are rich… golf. If you are poor… NASCAR. That’s it. supertim is probably popping his zits all over the screen now, but once he grows up, he will realize the only true world game is footy.
Go USA.
Someone recently conducted a study in which they tried to see which sport was the most predictable (ie boring) They looked at the NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB and the English Premier (soccer) League. And that’s the order they finished, with American Football being the most predictable and Association Football being the most exciting…
The USA is ranked number 4 in the world. England 10 and Italy 14.
I hope the USA smashes the Azzurri!
Go England…Go USA!!!
American football in the most pedantic and boring sport ever played. A game lasts 3 1/2 hours but there is only 17-20 minutes of actual play. Each play lasts about 3-4 seconds and then they huddle. Meantime, viewers watch a replay from different angles. The Super Bowl is usually an over-hyped boring blow out.
The NCAA men’s basketball tournament is and always will be my number one sporting event – forever.
