Thoughts About World Cup Soccer
The thing I like least about World Cup soccer is all the flopping about they do. Seeing these people fall so easily explains why international basketball players who play in the NBA are notorious for flopping. They learned it from their countrymen on the soccer field.
What I like about the World Cup, besides the excitement of rooting for your team and winning, is the sportsmanship. Sure the flopping is unsportsmanlike, but when someone legitimately falls down, you’ll see teams helping other teams to their feet. You rarely see it American football and basketball.
Another form of good sportsmanship is the tradition of swapping jerseys after match. It dates back to a 1931 match between France and England.
So they swap jerseys in the World Cup. But what about Women’s World Cup? I will let you know on June 26, 2011: FIFA Women’s World Cup Germany 2011. It will be on my DVR.
Or you can catch it on E!SPN.
