Yeah, I love it when they kick the ball back and forth for hours and the end score is 0 to 0. Excuse me, nil - nil. What excitement! What emotion! What... ZZZZZZZZZZZZ.

You didn't see the game, did you? There weren't any zero-zero ties. When I lived in Brazil I tried to explain American football to them. They didn't understand it, couldn't see how a bunch of overweight guys falling down and jumping on each other in big piles was all that entertaining. I told them there was strategy involved, like chess but physical. Out of respect they accepted that there might be something there they didn't understand. I never tried to explain baseball because it's too boring even for me.

One of the nice things about soccer is that it's played everywhere, so when you have tournaments it isn't city against city, it's a competition of country against country. We see that maybe in the Olympics but that's about it. It adds a dimension that's difficult to over-estimate, is very cool, and we don't have anything else that's the equivalent. I guess you'll need to take my word about that, but I'd like to point out that there are a few billion people around the world who already understand. I suppose it's POSSIBLE they're all wrong, but...

And hey, the U.S. women are in the final, playing against the team that beat them four years ago. This is incredibly cool, they're doing heroic shit representing the U.S. and playing their hearts out. Even if you're unimpressed just a little respect for their effort would be nice.
