World Cup Fever
I’m not much of a sports fan, yet I’m at a loss to explain why I find the World Cup compelling. I’ve been watching along with some people at work (full disclosure: we have a TV in the office that’s fully wired for cable), and I’ve found the clash of nations on the soccer pitch to be exciting and enjoyable. I was seriously invested in the USA/Ghana match today, only to despair at the stunning incompetence of the US players. Now I’m watching Croatia take out Australia.
Huhm, maybe I should pick up a copy of FIFA World Cup 2006 on eBay and see if I find video game soccer to be as fun to play as the real thing is to watch?
