    Well I guess I'd better hope that your 2nd point is true, because the Vuvuzela isn't going anywhere, and the fields aren't going to get any better.

    If 80-90% of baseball games were pitchers duels, would you find baseball compelling? How about if pitchers duels ended tied? Maybe once they get past the round robin portion it'll be better for me.

    Makes me almost wish he was here for the last couple of weeks. you're a mod, make it happen I said almost.

    The reason I'm in here, and have been....lets call it "less than supportive of soccer"....is that I really want to like it as much as you guys do. I like sports. Many of them to varying degrees, but I like sports...and it bothers me that this is the most popular sport in the world by a long shot, and I just can't enjoy it like I want to be able to. This is the biggest event for the biggest sport in the world, so by my thought process, there should be no better time for me to try to enjoy it...and the fact that I'm not doing so bothers me...and frankly I thought talking to you guys about this might help me get there. Thus far, it has not.

    Heard of? Maybe. But if you asked casual sports fans to name as many non-US soccer teams as they can, I bet they wouldn't come up with more than a couple of those. And really, someone being a household name means that they transcend the casual sports fan. Non-sports fans know who Tiger Woods, Michael Jordan, Shaquille Oneal, Kobe Bryant, Lebron James....etc are. Outside of maybe David Beckham, do you think there's any soccer players or teams that meet that criteria?

    Becoming household names, and growing tremendously in popularity are two hugely different things. I'm not denying any popularity growth...but I still think you're overstating it.

    He seems like every 21 year old party fiend I ever went to college with. The difference is, none of them had a Stanley Cup to tote around. As long as he keep doing his job well, I don't care what he does with his off time.

    I think saying that the teams are "household names" is overstating it. Judging by relatives and co-workers, I'm a pretty sports obsessed person, and I can only probably name a couple of soccer teams. Hell, I could probably name more MLS teams than I could EPL or SPL.

    The local morning show host just said that the number one ringtone right now is the Vuvuzela Horn. I can't verify that, but I might just punch someone with that ringtone.

    Burish and Bolland apparently hit several of the rooftops last night... http://www.chicagobreakingsports.com/burish-blackhawks-cup-620.jpg

    $100 million is insufficient!

    I'm not familiar with that one. http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Own%20Face

    Boers and Bernstein were talking about this yesterday. There's nothing wrong with partying and having fun right now but it sounds like some people are a little concerned. He could probably do without the cab driver and shirtless jokes also. He starts owning faces next season, and nobody will even remember this crap.

    What's that crooked number on the scoreboard?
  19. Banedon
    Political pressure?

    Average MLS ticket price in 2008 was $22.47 according to this blog. Average NHL price in 2009 was $51.41 according to this NYT article.

    So...basically Texas could decide next week to leave after all?

    That was one game. Compared to 3 of 26 teams scoring more than one goal in 13 games. True, but it was arguably the most exciting game of the year. That's fine, and if a low scoring soccer game was an anomaly, it might be considered exciting as well. The problem is the regularity of low scoring games...or at the very least, the perception of their regularity.

    You only hear "nothing" because the Vuvuzelas have deafened you.

    Is Doc Emerick available for World Cup announcing duties?
