Of course I want to. They have skillful players. They will be definitely in quarter Finals. If the team wins there would be  a soccer uprising in Iran

I actually am not interested in football.  I think it is the best time to go shopping because so many people are watching it and the stores are not crowded!

It is a sport, by any definition. People can say they don't think blue is a color either, but that doesn't mean they have any real facts to back up their assertions.

Since the Washington Senators are no longer http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington_Senators  I can only assume you were referring to the Ottawa Senators and I believe their officials certainly are honest and hard-working and call the games as fairly as possible.  They're playing quite well this season and I believe it's simply due to skill... and big sticks.\n\nI know you weren't talking politics...

It's not a major sport, and it's definitely isnt the NFL's minor league, NFL EUrope and college plays that role.  It's a fun little niche sport that really isn't to bad.

you make a good point here. it makes no sense to argue over which sport is better. different people enjoy different sports, nothing wrong with that. \nwe should appreciate the spirit of the sport which is  fair competition and achieving performance through effort and self improvement\n\ni also like a lot of other sports beside football

I watch sports usually when my teams are playing.  Sometimes I will watch even when my teams aren't playing, just to see to what is happening.  I really don't think it makes you less of man.  Not all men watch sports the same way.  As for the education level, I am not sure, but it might have an influence.  Generally, those with a higher education usually aren't interested in sports, while those with lower education are ravenous for it.

It's because they are not politically connected.

No ... keep sports and politics separate. Didn't we learn our lessons when the USA didn't go to the 1980 Moscow Olympics and the USSR returned the favor in 1984 in Los Angeles.

well at first I will say that there are no good sports vs. bad sports but some people think wresteling like wcw is a bad sport and mostly uneducated people take part in watching it. I watch it though for John Cena because he's hot stuff.

You are right. Unfortunately, despite all it's wonderful qualities, The World Cup is the modern version of war for some people who prefer to hate the other teams  than to enjoy the game...

I DONT THINK ITS A SPORT AND HERES WHY. IF YOU WIN BY BEING JUDGED, NOT BY SCORING POINTS LIKE IN FOOTBALL OR BASEBALLOR FROM BEING TIMED LIKE BOBSLEDDING, I DONT THINK IT CAN BE A SPORT. JUDGING IS TOO SUBJECTIVE. WHILE I THINK DANCING AND ICE SKATING ARE VERY ATHLETIC EVENTS, THAT DOESNT MAKE THEM SPORTS

You make a great point. Club football is their day to day living. It is about money and they have to live up to their contracts or lose them. Country, well that's about heart and pride and to me it would always come first. Australia has suffered from this problem in the past, with International clubs they play for not releasing them or qualifiers or other International games in case of an injury that would impede or stop them fulfilling their obligations to their contracted club. It's a pretty sad situation. I think it's more of a problem for countries who are smaller or have no political influence in the football arena. It would be really sad to see club football become so important that country meant little or nothing. If that ever happened, goodbye World Cup Soccer. It would cease to exist.

Politics as usual - both sides have a lot of problems, unfortunately.

No, sport is a direct competition of fastest, strongest, and other physical activities. Not who can lie the best, not who looks the prettiest as in other sports. Sport should have to be something that you sweat for.
