Saturday's Quarter-finals

Well this last Saturday I watch the 2 Quarter-Final matches.

First England vs. Portugal, to be nice this was kind of a waste of 3 hours. While I try to be a new ambassador for the game of Soccer I have trouble enjoying a 0-0 game with very few quality scoring chances. The PK's were cool, but that was about it. Having my boy Beckham leave the game early and Rugby player turned Soccer player Rooney get a Red Card didn't help matters.

Second Brazil vs. France, at least had some quality scoring chances. I guess I don't understand off-sides yet, because I thought Henry was clearly behind the defense before the ball got there. Anyways I really enjoyed watching Zidane from France, he's got some great moves, and from my understanding is fairly old now (for a soccer player). The last few minutes of this game were great with Brazil trying to get a last second goal to tie the game.

I'm looking forward to the Tuesday Semi-Final. I'll have to miss the match on Wednesday because of stupid work.

Here is a link to a fun little website that has how-to's for a whole bunch of things. The link is for how to Appreciate a Soccer Game on TV.
