You know you love football. You love watching the players racing across the field with the smell of cut grass setting fire to your team spirit. You sit at the edge of your seat when the players get the ball down the field, avoiding the opposing team as one good whack against the ball with a head or foot sends the ball past the goalie.

I don't want to sound hyperbolic. I keep reminding myself that this is just a game- a simple and athletic form of entertainment meant to distract and please the masses from the day to day hardships of life. After a long, hard day at the factory, the conference room, the construction site, the school, or the hacker cave, everyone is entitled to sit down, grab a beer/juice/bottle o' water/Faygo, sit down on the couch, and watch your favorite team engage in 90-120 minutes of some good old football/soccer.

Sunderland set to gain a Brucey bonus? We live at a time in which constant improvements are deemed necessities. More reliable cars, faster computers, cheaper travel.

In this author's humble opinion, the last truly great Brazil team. The flair and sexiness of their play was orgasmic. Their haircuts and facial hair, not so much.

I've watched football (soccer) for almost 30 years. My first real exposure to world football was the 1982 World Cup, the one everyone thought Brazil would win, and I watched with the eyes of an awestruck 6 year old.

Gold Cup 2011 – 'Handicapped Soccer'
Dr. Joel Rookwood
The beautiful game known globally as 'football' has a patchy history in America, barely permeating the sporting world so often dominated by baseball, basketball and American football. 'Soccer' (allegedly taken from asSOCiation football) has become a reference to a lesser sport, distancing language employed in USA and in other countries with a more dominant national variant.

Finally the second MLS victory has come.

Or perhaps instead of branching off from one main descendant, the game spontaneously evolved at multiple points in the world.

I want a classy shirt. Is that too much to ask for? This season's kits are far from the worst that we as Bolton Wanderers fans have ever had. The 2008/2009 kits take that honor for me.
