Well, the Celtics lead the finals 3-2, the United States Draws with England 1-1, and Australia loses 0-4 to Germany, and yet the world keeps on turning. The sleepy days of summer are just ahead of us which was making me think of drive-in theaters, and how there is still one here in my home town, I suppose I might have to check it out this summer and catch a flick or something. Whilst thinking about this a few weeks ago I had a strange clarity dawn upon me, kind of like a nostalgia but I can't really explain it well, kind of like trying to describe a sunset, so limited by words, oh well...for those of you wondering, yes the 80's top 100 list is already completed by me and has been from the beginning, however it remains fluid as I am open to changing bits and pieces here and there, but the same basic structure remains. Back to my previous topic though, the United States will now take on Slovenia for their next match on June 18. I read in the local paper that there have been large gatherings of US Soccer fans here in the USA, which actually surprised me a bit, seeing that we have always been so...well "domestic" about our sports, so I think it is a positive sign, seeing that most of the US soccer fans are probably under the age of 35, and one a willingness to participate in the world on the global scale, minus the whole attitude, because no matter how "nationalistic" or "patriotic" you are, as a US soccer fan one must maintain humility amongst the soccer-legends from all the other parts of the world. In truth we Yanks are just infants in a global sport that's dominated the rest of the world scene for decades, but do not get me wrong, I am stoked to see young Americans getting excited about the World Cup, and making a stop at your local casino and placing a bet or two always makes the rounds a bit more exciting and personable.
