When I was a kid soccer was the most popular game. I played the game often but tennis was my most favorite game.

I began playing soccer in the late '60's, and had always enjoyed watching the English Premiere League as well as the German Bundesliga. But for some reason, I never really paid all that much attention to the World Cup, whether the U.S. was in it or not. Right now though, I would say that Germany looks pretty tough to beat . . .

I saw a feature about how the new ball design has made the

thing more aerodynamic so that it moves in a truer path and flies faster. I guess that's part of the reason the score was so high - but 7-1 certainly makes it clear the victory was no lucky turn of events.

Yes and I still cannot believe the loss of Brazil. I am rooting for Netherlands Kabu but you can never say, they have a force to reckon with Mr Messi and Argentina

I'm not an english football or soccer fan myself, Grandmummy, but I'm glad you're enjoying the game.
