I'm aware of the anticlimactic nature of championship finales. It's a common theme in many sports. This does not prevent me from hoping for a well played tightly contested match.
I've enjoyed the world cup. It's been highly entertaining. I had hoped for a better showing for the U.S. but feel they played as well as they were capable of. I don't pretend know a great deal about football having not grown up with the game. I simply enjoy the sport, unlike many of my countrymen. This starts by giving it a chance.
The game is growing here but there will always be a segment of this sporting population finding it boring. They can't be helped. Many feel the same about my game of baseball.
