How about that Mayan team sport of Mesoamerican Ballgame.
Losing team was sacrificed.
The scull of the captain of the losing team would be used as the core of a new ball, bound by new rubber, and used as a ball for future games.
I'd fork ouk out a few bucks to see that on pay-per-view.

Well, I thought it is appropriate for a "bump".
The US have to beat Ghana by more than 2 goals - which they should do... and wait for The Czech republic to beat Italy by a number of goals (which they should also do)
The US did well to draw with Italy
Argentina are looking very strong as are Germany and England... the sleep deprivation continues...

Far more people play soccer than play football or baseball. Baseball is even more boring than soccer, but at least something is going on at all times. You never see a fat guy play pro soccer and even in baseball some of them are kind of on the chunky side and if they had to run more than the bases would be out of breath.

There was about 30,000 people (I was one of them - I didn't take that photo though) at Federation Square at 5am to watch the game...

It's not that boring once you get into it, although I could stand more scoring, or fewer players out on the field to make it more wide open (or both!).
What's getting to me about the World Cup is the so-called "officiating" as well as the number of dives taken by the players. Both are pretty bad. In the refs' defense, some are much better than others, but no team was exempt from the completely gratuitous dives.
