World Cup
Sunday morning we had some fun bantering at church about what the greatest sport in the world is. But just to give you an idea of how big soccer (football - the more accurate name) is, besides the billions+ people that watch the world cup final - Trinidad/Tobago have declared a public holiday so that their people could stay home to watch the England vs. Trinidad/Tobago game this afternoon. What a great sport!
UPDATE: Trinidad/Tobago lost, but they got a holiday to mourn the loss. Because after all, who could work after that.
Isn't that Cup just gorgeous? That's the holy grail of football, for those of you not as familiar with the sport.
Posted by edGeeesh, how could you chat about soccer at Sunday church. Spirituality has sunk so low these days. Hockey would be permissible but technically soccer isn't even a sport is it?
Posted by: TrishI know heresy at it's deepest! :)
Posted by: edEd- What is this game of SOCCER? Is it really a sport? Now FOOTBALL! That's a really sport! But this SOCCER? Why waste your time? =)
P.S. Why is the Brazilian flag flying high above Portugal and Canada? Is Vun picking the her football games by colours again?
P.P.S. Please don't tell VUN that I said that... she know where I live! =)
P.P.P.S. WHAT'S HOCKEY?
At least we agree on one thing :) What's hockey? And who are the Carolina Hurricanes?
