World Cup 2006
Created | Updated Jun 26, 2006
I am not into it as much, but because of an English Friend I did keep an eye on the games here and there. With my background from Europe I am familiar how to play a soccer game.
In the US just recently got into the sport's inventory. The big interest here is the baseball or the Football what is very differnt from Soccer.
Anyway I watched the game LIVE on Sunday: June 25 at noon time: England vs. Ecuador. England won with 1 goal.
I don't know about the set up of the teams against each other.
But the "Boys" from Ecuador had a great disadventage coming from living at 9000 feet over sea level, and the extreme heat in Stuttgart also gave more difficulties to deal with.
The "English" team was not very far from were they live though the heat also gave them an unconfortable environment.
But they were able to time their energies to the second half when the opposition got a bit tired! The speed of the Ecuador team lost some strenght as time went on.
It was long ago when I was in training for various sport activities, but my trainer told me about the clever "timing".
It always works if an athlete does not blow the best part at the beginning of a sport activity!
Yet on both sides of the teams I could admire the fantastic endurance under the unfavorable climate conditions.
The games have more to go: till July 9, 2006.
My note is based only on my opinion and I am not an expert in this field, but enjoyed to watch a very eventful sport activity with congratulation for the team of England. :-) Blue Bird
