Soccer Not so Much

I have zero soccer picks. I mean I guess it's the biggest sport in Africa as well as in the U.K. and elsewhere throughout Europe. And it's getting a lot of attention in America now.

Truthfully speaking, I find it a bit boring. Like hockey and unlike basketball, it's a really low scoring game. But unlike hockey, it's really dull to watch, mainly because the field is so huge and there aren't any good fights--normally anyway. So it's sort of like hockey but without any head banging or body checking or jersey pulling and for a spectator well that's just no fun at all.

I grew up with hockey on in the background of everywhere I went. And it's honestly the only real organized sport that I like. Baseball is slow moving and loses my interest. With hockey if all else fails you can watch the guys skate. And that's always a lot of fun. And when they bang into the boards--well that's pretty dang cool. Especially if you're sitting up close.
