Back on topic - Argentina or Germany, but I'll be rooting for Holland. Bouchard is cute to me in a fatherly sort of way - she'll have a career without serious injury. Only Canadians think I hate Canadians.

That's truly off topic, Sparty.

I'm dating myself but I loved him in some ways. If someone did that sort of thing now they'd be suspended. You almost like to watch him for his outbursts, but he was great near the net.

I cancelled hbo before watching the McEnroe-Borg documentary. I'm said about that.

I know what you mean. I've always liked the controversial athletes. Ali my favorite from my childhood.

One of my favorite sportsmen of all time. Great player and an absolute hoot.

I don't think I've seen that in it's entirety. You see, I'm dating myself, but the funniest thing to watch was Connors and John. They couldn't really stand each other.

Aggression isn't always bad, but stay off my lawn.

McEnroe was suspended for that, and fined. It wasn't the only time either.

I'm not a fan of soccer, but I've played the sport (gave up for skateboarding for 9 years. Which gets no respect for the technical and physical aspects) and I have respect for it. There is a lot more than meets the eye. Schemes and ball work etc. same can be said for rugby. I've watched many games and still really can't get into it based on. It knowing the sport on a personal level. Football appeals to the masses because on the surface it's in your face all the time with plays. It's goes way deeper than big hits and highlight plays, but the way the sport is designed visually sits well with USA masses.

edit: skateboarding and many extreme sports at the highest level are as hard or harder than mainstream sports.

edit 2: I refuse to change my typos on the excuse to get drunk and blow shit up day

Ali is still in his own class. He beat a bunch of guys that you'd think he'd have no chance at.

I didn't cite an example. There are plenty. I could always relate to McEnroe because I was always hyper-competitive.

Not necessarily, Brazil will now play bunker ball and will have the refs with them
