Yeah, definitely in agreement with you on both counts. Since Toronto got the Toronto FC in the MLS, I keep hearing "Canada's really starting to accept soccer as a big-budget sport" and "Expect to see an increase in all aspects of soccer broadcasting".
But no.
CBC airs the Toronto Fail Jays games instead of the Euro Cup. The only way I can watch it is in Italian, in low quality picture....And that channel doesn't even broadcast the games that matter the most!!! I don't have cable BTW. I don't watch anywhere near enough TV to justify it...
/Rant
Go Deutschland!!!!

well the italians got it from the spaniards...
the penalty kick procedure is painful to watch! kinda takes away the spirit of the game.. the best team wins. but then again, im a (wannabe) musician, i really shouldnt like any sports

Nah, it's OK for a musician to like sports, as long as you suck at playing them...
So, it's safe to say Germany will make it to the finals, right? But will thay play Russia or Spain?

How the hell did I miss this thread??
Oh, well. Anyway, before the tournament started I predicted Germany as champions.
That can still happen, although Spain looks really strong.
Germany has not played at their highest level and still gone to the final.
Typical Germany. They (almost) always go very far.
Lots of great football in this tournament. Espesially Holland and Russia played a couple of very good games each.
Really nice to see that there are some americans (canadians too) that like "soccer". I'd really like to see soccer becoming a big sport in America and have it's national team go far in The World Cup. They played some really nice football in 2002 when they reached the quarterfinals.
Soccer needs America and America needs soccer! Let's make it happen!

Our (American) Womens team does quite well. Olympic Gold medal winners, and although I can't recall how they did in the last world cup, I believe it was respectable.
We're fortunate in that many of these women players go to college here in Portland. The two goals scored to win the gold medal came from University of Portland players. So, our favorite game on a Friday night or Sunday afternoon is womens college soccer.
I don't have a favorite team for the final this Sunday. I typically root for the underdog. I do like the way Spain plays though.

That would be 3rd place in China in 2007. Beat out Norway
in the bronzefinal. I do not watch much women's soccer, but I did watch that game.3rd place is very respectable.
