I am going to be so sad when the WC is over. I'm going to have to figure something out to fill the void. I don't think MLS is going to do that.

James Rodriguez?  probably real madrid.  i think picking a champions league team would probably be a fun/accessible way to dip your toes.  all the best club teams of europe in a long tournament

it's an ages long debate, but several champions league-caliber teams would win the World Cup if that's how it worked

some other team (real madrid?) will send a dump truck full of money to snatch him up in the next few weeks.  (but don't adopt real madrid)

Well so far I'm going with where ever James goes. And of course all Scottish teams.

:emawkid:

so to really simplify it, it's pretty similar to the world cup but is stretched out from mid-fall to late spring and fox sports has tv rights

I'm excited. This will be fun. I'll have to get the soccer package for cable if there is such a thing.

I like the third place game because I don't want this to end. Holland should be thrilled to have a chance to play Brazil in Brazil. Such a weird thing to be butthurt about.

I'm more mocking than butthurt.

Also the Royals still have 72 games left if you're looking to fill a World Cup void. I know its not soccer, but you'll feel right at home. We'll leave the door unlocked, beer is stocked, and we'll even have a plate of brownies for you upon you arrival.
