Country BearsWe're not really into sports, but I do like to be patriotic, so we are watching the match (well he is, I'm half watching!! 
) Are you all keeping track?? 
Are you into any sport??? I love tennis, not to play, only to watch!! :crackup: :crackup: Wimbledon soon!! YAY!!! :dance: :dance: :dance:
Soccer, more soccer and more soccer !!!!!!!!!!!! need I say anymore till the final game is played. Both hubby and son are watching as many games as they can.
Friday the 16th was the Ultra distance Commrade's marathon and that I enjoyed and watched while hubby completed his 18th run.

Bears-a-Bruin!We're watching the footie tonight Clare - I'm just taking a break during half-time. Did you see that goal in the first-half???! We cheered so loud you probably heard us!!!!!
:dance: :dance: :dance:
PS We're not normally into football but the World Cup is something different - better atmosphere, more of a tradition - so I always tune in for the World Cup 
West Sussex, EnglandHi Clare
We're definitely watching the footie in our house. I love it......Hubby used to be the manager of our local team, it's how we met so I've always been a big footie fan.
It's half time at the moment and England are 1-0 up, Hope it lasts 
Really looking forward to Wimbledon too, starts on Monday :dance:
:hug:
my husband is being very 'know it all' about the game ....I've come to bed.....I don't know why they don't let him manage the team when Sven leaves....apparently he knows everything there is to know about footie!!!!
Bears-a-Bruin!LOL Jenny! My hubby has become an overnight footie fan - he normally keeps away from the matches on TV but you should have seen him jumping around tonight :crackup:. Wooooweeee, it was a nail-biter!
Claudia's KnuffelbaerenMy husband and I watched every game

Newcastle, OntarioI just spent an hour at my neighbours house, while our house was being shown to prospective buyers. Our neighbours had a very small TV and no cable until two weeks ago. They went out and bought a big screen TV and got Satelite TV just because of the World Cup - I couldn't believe it! They are soccer crazy! We're not into it at all - just give me a NHL playoff game instead!
hugs,
Brenda
I love watching professional and college football (American, not soccer) and basketball. My university won the national championship in basketball this year, and my university is good in football every year - Univ. of Florida - Go Gators! I cheer for the Miami Dolphins and the Miami Heat and other South Florida teams. We have season ticketes to the Dolphins games. I also like watching the Olympics.
I don't watch soccer. I always root for the USA in whatever they play though.
BrisbaneWorld cup fever has hit my 12 year old in a big way. He loves 
his soccer, but unfortunately we can't get the station the games are on so he has to wait for taped copies.
I have just returned from a two week tour of Germany and Austria and I can tell you that the fever is everywhere over there. Huge TV screens in the streets and fans all over the place as well as the usual merchandise to go along with it. It was an experience to be there while this was going on
Those two countries are rich in history and many of the buildings we saw were 13th century- even touched the Berlin Wall and travelled up to the Eagles Nest. Our Mercedes bus ran on canola oil, had 450 hp and had no emissions or exhaust. Time North America looked at alternative energy supplies

DoodlebearsEvery single match has been on the TV in my house and not in just one room. My husband and sons sit in one room and Sarah and I sit in the lounge room. WHY...well I need my hearing... 
the guys get so loud that it's best to stay clear of them. I'm sure they could be heard in outer space last night when Sweden equalised right at the end of the game against England. MEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hugs Jane. 
YES CLAIRE
WERE ALL WATCHING TOOOO
I HATE THE FOOTBALL! Always have, always will!! Actually, if I'm honest, it's not the actual game I hate, it's what it does to men. Somehow, watching a few men chase a ball around a bit of grass turns them into grunting cavemen! They completely loose the art of conversation, don't even hear you when you ask something as simple as 'would you like a coffee', and even connive their way out of family activities!! Shame on them!! 
Nope. Footie is banned in my house and anyone who dares to make a move towards the TV has to get past my evil eye first! :twisted: The only exception I make is for my son ... but even he has to accept that the tv downstairs is for family viewing and that means having something on that everyone can enjoy! So, he takes himself either up to his room to watch, or across town to his father's house!!
I've even told my partner to stay at his own house for the month the World Cup is on ... I don't mind not seeing him, in fact, I'd rather not see him while he's grunting and groaning at the TV! Heaven only knows how we'll cope when our house purchase is completed ... we'll have to have separate tv's in separate rooms!!
Newcastle, OntarioPaula,
Separate TV's are good LOL! My husband and I do not like any TV programs remotely similar. I'm a BBC, Discovery Channel, Mystery type of person and Neil is Action and what I call "his tacky, wacky, old Cowboy" station. We have a nice dinner when he comes home from work, and usually socialize for a while, but when he turns on his programs, I quickly exit upstairs to my studio for bear making and "good TV". Must be working as we will have our 35th anniversary this September.
hugs,
Brenda
