Good to see a new post. To bad its on the most boring thing I could think of.
That banner pic is how I picture all soccer stadiums in the US.
Sirius listeners with best of . Just like Major League Baseball, Sirius listeners get screwed,unless we shell out more .
Was able to watch the last period of England and USA match. Too bad it was a draw. lol Wondering about the next matches results.
God help me, I listened to the Germany-Australia "contest" on 236 this afternoon. Curse you and your meddling website, Saaaaaaaghiiiiiiirrrrrr!!!!! (/echo)
How can a sport end up tie, that makes no sense to me, they should play until their is a winner, maybe that would make this sport more interresting, at least for me.
What's more boring on the radio, soccer, golf or NASCAR?
American Football can end in a tie too. Ask Donavan McNabb. He just learned that last year.
USA will play the runner up of Group D, everyone is alive in this group even Australia
