Hello Ward,
WD>>> So why is the USA organizing the next World Championships then?
DC>> I don't know. Maybe it's just "our turn".
WD> It's a very very very expensive venture, I can't imagine a country making
WD> money out of it. Just prestige.
The USA has hosted the FIFA World Cup before. Thanks to Dr. Henry
Kissinger. So the USA does know how to do it.
WD> To get awarded the organization is a very tedious project, corruption,
WD> kickbacks...someone must be providing the money. So there must be some
WD> gain..
Dr. Henry Kissinger is a German Jew. Served as Secretary of State
and National Security Director under President Richard Nixon. However,
unlike Nixon, Dr. Kissinger is not a crook.
WD> For the record, the world championship football is a bigger event than the
WD> olympics...
That may be. But this is Dr. Kissinger's baby. And given he has been
retired from politics for decades, he has all the time in the world ...
DC>> Well, that's not completely true of course, and one could argue that the
DC>> king of boring is..... soccer. I mean, seriously. The actual *goals*
DC>> are semi-exciting, but the interminable minutes (hours?) between goals
DC>> are the very definition of boring.
WD> It's in the way how one views the game. For example the USA's opening game
WD> in the current world championships against Wales ended in a 1-1 but was a
WD> good game of tactics and moves. Even the 0-0 against England was a good
WD> game.
The USA had the youngest team, and did extremely well given the
competition. Will be a real contender in 2026.
WD> A football player runs between 11 and 15 km during a game, an NFL-player's
WD> performance is measured in yards, then he needs a break, a rest and a drink
WD> of water. That's the difference between a sport and a game.
Several teams in the NFL have had kickers who kicked the round ball
long before the oval one ...
WD> But through the years I started to appreciate the game and tactics, in the
WD> mid-19704s I saw O.J.Simpson play and that was something...
Sylvester Stallone played the game. But only on camera.
WD>>> Canada's better at ice hockey ...
DC>> Here you are CLEARLY mistaken. It's been 29 *YEARS* since a Canadian
DC>> team won the Stanley Cup.
WD> The Stanley-what?
Nobody knows. Been too long for Canadians to remember.
WD> Meaning to say, at the world level of sports it is so unimportant...
The USA actually won a gold medal in curling.
Just like the USA will actually win the World Cup.
If only in my dreams.
For Life,
Lee
