I've just recently gotten into soccer in a big way and went with 4 friends. Absolutely awesome experience, for those that say it's too boring. I counter with....baseball.
I thought it was boring too but realized the amount of skill, balance, finesse, power, all the attributes blended are necessary in order to be any good at this game. Goals can come at any given second, my two buddies each left once to go to the bathroom and they both missed a goal. Belgium is a damn good team and I was really encouraged by the first half we seemed to control possession and their goal was more of a lapse on our defenders not clearing rather than them doing anything special. My friends and I had the same argument as to why we aren't as good as other countries despite being powerhouses in basketball, having the football player etc. I agree it's the level of competition and financially accepting that the best are playing in other countries and that's where we need to go in order to raise the level of play for our citizens and youth.
I'm so pissed I had a perfect picture of Kompany and my finger blocked the picture at the last second. That guy is a fucking monster! My friends and I have all been drawn in by World Cups, 3 of my friends in 06, myself in 2010 South Africa and we're actually planning to go to Brazil next year for a week and catch a game or two. Here's pics of my friends and I tailgating.
