Soccer

I'm a soccer fan and player, been playing since I was 5. One of the ways I like to unwind from "the grind" is watch the nightly recap of international games on the Fox Soccer Channel. Occasionally I'll record some games on my Replay TV to watch when I have the time. I prefer the Seria A (Italy) and La Liga (Spain) games over the English Premiere League.

Anyways, on to another matter in the same subject that I felt like posting about.

"FIFA Mulls End to Anthems Before Games"

I think FIFA has a point. How many people know their national anthems? How many people know the national anthems of other countries? IIntl soccer games are definitely emotional events so we'll see how they decide, I'm still undecided myself.
