Were Americans watching anyway?  The answer to that is no, unfortunately.  I am a massive hockey fan, but I also happen to work in the television industry so I understand how ratings work and why ESPN dropped its coverage - it's hard to fault them for turning their back on the NHL (bowling was getting higher ratings... BOWLING, people...).  Americans don't particularly care about hockey enough in general, and while an All-Canadian final is unlikely (only Calgary and 8-seed Edmonton are alive out West), it would certainly turn off a few more televisions in the States.

I look at all the tournement and the really deserve it. Those girl are unstoppable right now. Think about that they only had 1 goal scored against them in the preliminary round ans they score 36 time. The best team after that is USA with 18 goals for (GF) - 3 goals against (GA). In the final round Canada had 10 GF and 1 GA. Sweden, the finalist had 4 GF and 6 GA. In his forst match Team Canada could have play without goalie and still score three time what the other team did. (Canada had 16 goals and Italy 5 shots). \nI know this is only statistic but I can assure you that Team Canada deserve this medal.

I watch every day and i wait 4 years for this ..to me it is my favorite time of year. My wife is Brazilian and I am American...so I obviously watch those two...but I also watch the other big teams to see who our potential opponents COULD be and much like March Madness..I hope they fall...I was happy that Czech fell today...not because I want all the good teams to fall..I want to Beat Germany on its own soil...I want them to KNOW that 2002 was NO FLUKE...AND TO AVENGE FOR HAVING LOST TO FRANCE ON FRENCH SOIL...THAT WAS MESSED UP..

Women's sports are a colossal bore.  Sorry, but with the exception of tennis, and maybe the occasional golf tournament, that's true.  Women's basketball?  Please.  For men's sports, I'd watch hockey before any NBA game.  The NBA is just a bunch of strutting, overpaid prima donnas.

Well, Moon, as it's still only the first round, it is far too early to tell. That said, I do like what's been happening so far. As correctly predicted here, the loathsome fat-cat red wings of dread detroit -- the #1 seed in the playoffs -- were unceremoniously dumped by the underdog Edmonton Oilers last night in six games! WOOHOO!!! Also, over the weekend, the Colorado Avalanche took out the hated dallas stars, another favourite, so again: WOOHOO!!!\n\nWhen my glorious Buffalo Sabres remove the utterly hateful philistinia floaters tonight (or Thursday night, either way, they go), the happiness trifecta will be complete and my three most hated NHL teams will have been eliminated in one fell swoop (I'll save that last WOOHOO!!! for later, lol). I love nothing more than to revel in the victory of the good and triumph in the defeat and abject humiliation of the evil -- and this applies to EVERYTHING! :)\n\nBut I digress... One reason these could be the greatest Stanley Cup playoffs of all time is that we missed out on ANY hockey all of last year because of the NHL lockout. Hockey came back in its full raiment of glory this season with rules changes which have directly correlated with a vastly improved on-ice product. Hockey has never been so good! Another reason -- indeed, THE reason! -- this could be the greatest playoffs ever is that my Sabres are so awesomely talented that they could conceivably go all the way and WIN Lord Stanley's Cup! Were that to happen -- and it's far too early to say now -- I would die and go to heaven on the spot! (OK, not literally... I don't even believe in heaven.) ;)\n\nAs for my expectations, well, I'm quietly confident my Sabres will continue to advance after defeating those despicable goon flyers tonight in their hellhole home in philistinia (Can ya tell I hate that godforsaken place and their truly horrible people?). But can they go all the way? In the East, where my Sabres play, Ottawa and New Jersey will be tough opponents and they may have to defeat both to continue (Carolina is struggling badly with Montreal and I'm not worried about facing either of them). If they can get out of the conference, I like their chances in the Cup Final, no matter who they face from the West. But again, all that is a long way away...\n\nLet's Go Buf-fa-lo!!! Let's Go Buf-fa-lo!!! Let's Go Buf-fa-lo!!! :)

Wow same!  I'm American and this is the first year I've even watched a soccer match without just taking a glance and dismissing it with boredom.  I don't know what about this year caught me, but now I'm really into the WC.  However, I think once this dies down, I'm not sure if I'm going to continue sating my apetite for soccer w/ national games (mainly cause I'm a staunch supporter of European teams).  Too bad the rest of America is too intrigued by our own brutish version of football to care about soccer.  It's merely a reflection of us as a country I guess, and it fits well with our war-mongering image.

Hockey? They play that in the us?

Nope. As a fan, I'd love for them to move on to the next round, though. \n\n***(06/23/06 17:00 EST, USA)\nSorry, I was wrong. France has done it de bonne grâce! \nViva les Bleus !

I would try to watch the Women's World Cup if I could. Apparently, though, it doesn't even air on our television channels. From the short clips I've seen on the news, though, it looks about the same as the Men's World Cup, only the genders of the players are different, and different teams are the successful ones.

Yes, Major HOT.\nThe last game they played was full of flaws across the board.\nFinally a game that was a joy to watch!\nI am not an early riser, but I am glad I got up to watch this one!
