So our cocktail party on Saturday night was fun. I did not make Panty Dropper Punch as promised, and instead made the slightly tamer Pomegranate Champagne Punch. It worked.
An interesting argument made by one of the attendees: we were talking about the Euro 2008 finals on Sunday and how Americans dont recognize the full majesty of this historic occasion blah blah blah...i.e. why do Americans not like soccer? I tried to make some watery bullshit argument that loads of kids play soccer in the US so it must be gaining traction. To which he responded, loads of GIRLS play soccer in the US. "Women DO NOT PLAY football". He argues Americans are inherently sexist, so any sport that women are good at will inevitably fail in the US. Hmmm.
Incidentally, the game was awesome. I am currently shopping for my new Fernando Torres jersey.

Or perhaps the reason is Americans don't like to play games that they aren't that good at.
Games Americans Like:
Baseball
American Football
Thermo-Nuclear War
Games Americans Don't Like:
Football
Rugby (Only wimps wear pads and helmets.)
Prolonged guerilla warfare combined with the need to support nation building efforts.
