No goals, but how exciting!

Watched the three World Cup games today, and I must say that the most exciting one was the nil-nil tie between Trinidad & Tobago and Sweden. T&T being such underdogs, holding the Swedes scoreless in the first half, then getting one of their players sent off. It was packed with drama.

The England-Paraguay game was a bit messy, and Argentina-Ivory Coast had action but the second half was mostly boring as Argentina was ahead by 2-0 and Ivory Coast couldn't pull one back until late in the game.

The T&T-Sweden game was telecast on ABC, which was a curious choice of teams for them to show, but it was the one that fit their schedule. Hopefully some Yanks watched and saw that a 0-0 game can still be fun to watch.

I'm sort of getting into it, but the major road block for me is watching grown men act like they've been gored from incidental contact.

Ok, the last guy I saw did have a broken leg (Cisse), but still.
