I thought Fox's coverage of the Women's World Cup was excellent.
I remember the days not all that long ago when critics of soccer in general said that Americans would never watch soccer on t.v. - that the game did not lend itself to television.
They also said that lack of scoring would prevent the game from becoming popular in the U.S.
I found the games truly enjoyable and exciting whether the score ended up 1-0, 3-1, or 5-2. I love the fact that you can watch 45 minutes of play without commercials. Just continuous play.
The NBA playoffs drove me crazy with all the commercials - sometimes four or five minutes of play, then five or six minutes of commercials. Wish college basketball would do the same as soccer - 20 minutes of play per half with each coach getting two time outs per half but no break-to-commercials. Have a 20-minute half time and run all the commercials during the half time break.
But back to soccer. The women are amazing - terrific athletes, awesome skills, great teamwork.
Anyway, congrats to the US Women's Team on a superb tournament.
