OT: Any comments on yesterday's referee call against Croatia?

Of course I'm referring to Brazil winning the game. I cry foul on the referee and say his call makes him a liar and a dirty rotten scumbag. Croatia was f*cked in the *ss by the various bodies that govern the World Cup events.

Where do you think all the soccer moms come from? It's just another globalist plot to subvert the American way of life by introducing a Eurotrash game. Next thing you know we'll have football hooligans trashing Denver.

Next thing, they'll try to replace baseball, the most boring game in the world, with cricket, the second most boring.

How about ping pong?

rbowman fired this volley in news:c03ms7Fpcq3U3 @mid.individual.net:

Cricket would be FIRST most-boring. A single game can go on for days. Seconds of action packed into a hundred hours of play!

I'm not about to take up ping pong but I have seen the real players in action. They just about need the space of a full sized tennis court; that

4x8 sheet of plywood or whatever the official size is just serves as something to bounce the ball off.

The movie sucked, but iirc in Patrick Ryan's 'How I Won the War' cricket played a big role in foreign relations. The Tunisians would come to bitch to the British Army about something and the officer would interject "That wouldn't be cricket" at some point. The poor third world fools would innocently ask "What's cricket?" The ensuing expanation would go on and on until the petitioners gave up and went home to feed their goats or something.

You're probably right. At least they put a baseball game out of its misery in a few hours.
