It'd be fascinating to see Marta give it a go in a men's league. There's always the possibility that she'd be physically manhandled (no pun), but she's so talented. The goal she scored against the US a couple of years back where she flicked the ball behind the player was just ridiculous.
Excited to see Neymar play for the first time.

Don't really hate the team but definitely dislike all the "die-hard brasil fans" who have 0 connection to the country or have never even visited there.

Club fan=Country fan?? By your comment should I assume your favorite team is in the MLS? Maybe my Barca fanhood is an example of "bandwagoning" but it's no different from any other American soccer fan, or foreigners whose favorite teams are in the NBAOriginally Posted by babam11218719

Japan couldn't attend

in some respects the womens game is better from what i've seen so far in the world cup - i mean less diving, whining, arguing with ref etc. the spirit of the game is better. i was surprised how hard these girls were playing, i mean i was watching the usa play the other day and both teams were going hard into the tackle - not giving up anything. and fair play to both teams, they wouldn't make anything of it and just get up and continue playing.
