world cup

It finally ended. I was once a big fan of soccer. Ten years ago, I stayed up late for Italian League on Sundays, I got up at 3am for Euro Cups and I played soccer with my friends very often. Even 4 years ago, I watched China's world cup games with my friends at midnight. However, this time, I only watched 3 games. US vs. Italy, this is for the country that I live in. Netherlands vs. Portugual, this is for the team that I love. Italy vs. France, that is the final. 2 hours' running with the same group of athletes for one or two goals, that is no longer exciting to me. I feel like football more. Offensive team, defensive team, special team, coaching staffs, everyone is involved and every play is crucial. Also, the judging system in NFL is much superior than the soccer rules. Referees can review the plays through cameras to make sure plays are fair. That's why US people are so into their own "football" games.
