    1. There's more to life than just software. 2) Soccer, when played well, IMHO, is a beautiful game to watch. Watch Ronaldinho, Zidane, Pele, Maradona, et al, and watch the skill as they move the ball through player after player at full speed. The grace, fluidity, skill, and athleticism is, in my opinion, just incredible to watch. Players like this make playing the game something akin to art. 3) It's the Lounge - get over it! And if you hate the soccer rants wait till people start posting about the Tour de France - because this year is the most open field in 7 years, since Armstrong retired! ¡El diablo está en mis pantalones! ¡Mire, mire!

    My, you have certainly framed me as a wretched soul. In the future, please refrain from applying such heavily weighted members of your lexicon to my innocuous statements! I'm merely stating my opinions here, man! Hate has nothing to do with it. Josh

      I know that. But thanks for taking the time to point it out. I don't come to CodeProject for life's other stuff. Why post about soccer (or baseball, or bicycling) over and over and over on a site that has nothing to do with it. That's all I'm saying. I think it's great that people are really into soccer and think it's the best. I just don't understand why people slam the CP boards with rants about soccer. josh

      Well, this particular game was extremely frustrating to watch. So there are a lot of pissed off folks and we're just seeing people vent :) ¡El diablo está en mis pantalones! ¡Mire, mire!

          Being the American which I inevitably am, I cannot understand for one second what on Earth is so damn appealing about soccer. Why do some many people keep posting soccer rants on a web site dedicated to software?! Aren't there soccer (football, whatever) sites to which you can post these rants? Let's get back to business here, people. Software. Software. Software. :doh: Josh

                                      Hey, don't get me wrong. I consider biking like that a SPORT. I just find it a bit boring to watch. Unlike NASCAR. I don't believe making a bunch of left-hand turns is a sport. Otherwise if I planned it right I would be sporting my way to the grocery store. I actually like to watch soccer and have watched a few matches.

                                        I work over in Jersey City these days, with easy access to the PATH train that leads into WTC. I'm a bit new to the city, but I believe that Wall Street is pretty close to there. I'm not sure where William and John is, though. Let's meet up sometime this week after work. Know any good bars around there? Josh
