CHOOSE YOUR OWN AMERICAN (SOCCER) IDOL
I love soccer and am excited to watch as many games as possible...with the sound off. I'm making my own list of favorite player-idols, too. Who will be in the finals?
The vuvuzela may be THE most horrible sound in the world. "It's been compared to a deafening swarm of wasps. Or a herd of flatulent elephants." Pardon me, but WTF? Is this sound actually pleasant to someone? I definitely don't get it. FIFA clearly does not get it, either. This excruciating sound should be banned.
I really thought Jozy Altidore would score near the end of the England v. USA game. Al-most! So much for his sprained ankle. Oh, and did you know he was born in Livingston, NJ? Home town of the one and only, Drew Magnusson! The USA will get much confidence from this tie game result. Tim Howard, goalie extraordinaire' from North Brunswick, NJ (x-Man U; now with Everton) showed his talent with most amazing saves, including taking a boot to the ribs, but a save, nonetheless.
I am a fan of all great athletes that play with class and grace. Not a fan of the stupid vuvuzela played by obviously sophomoric, rude and probably deaf numbskulls.
