Up early to catch the U.S. ladies play some soccer.

Another exciting TIE.....

In soccer, it's called a draw.

Besides, there would've been a moment of US panic there at the end, as Portugal hit the crossbar in stoppage time and nearly sent the US team home.

Yea, but it was 0-0 so it's like it didn't even happen.  How can you get credit for a game where no-one scores?

No Clemson football game ever ended in a tie?

A quick Google search says this has happened at least twice. Assuming the games actually took place, since there was no scoring.

Those were back before it was really football.

Best I can tell, last was 1933.

That was the last one I saw as well, as far as the 0-0 variety go.

And considering that's before Dean was born...

Dean used to run the buttonhook with Jesus as QB.

Actually 44 of them (out of 1274).  Last was in 1991.  We have moved on from that sister kissing silliness.

Soccer isn't for everyone. Though, it's the most popular sport in the world, so it must be doing something right.

No, drinking is the most popular sport.  They just do it during all the down time at a soccer match.

Oh please, football is just as bad with that. An NFL game (which doesn't take nearly as much time as a college game these days) is almost always over 3 hours, despite only 60 minutes on the game clock. And of that 60 minutes, the ball in actually in play an average of 18 minutes. So don't give me the downtime argument.

I got nothing...

Although when there is action its usually good as compare to dribbling the ball around midfield for 70 of the 90 minutes (plus super secret mystery extra overtime time)

The ball isn't the point of American Rules Football. The game is about two teams beating hell out of each other. Without a ball to give an occasional diversion, it would be wrestling.

Any day on the water.

Clear skies! Is this your annual sailing trip?

Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale,
A tale of a fateful trip
That started from this tropic port
Aboard this tiny ship....

Soccer lull?

I still watch it every week, but I have to admit, my taste for it has waned a bit in recent years. And no, it's not the shittiness of the Browns, that I'm used to. Just doesn't appeal to me like it once did.

Strike the bell, Second Mate
Let us go below
Look ye well to windward
Ye can see it's going to blow
Look ye at the glass
Ye can see that it is fell
And we wish that you would hurry up
And strike! Strike the bell!

[razgueado]

Underway.
