Who's everyone rooting for? Would you rather play Lolla in the championship or the Suckeyes? I want the Suckeyes because that would feel so much better saying we won the title against the "big" Ohio school.

I'd rather play Louisville. Because OSU is better than them.

OSU is better than them but i believe we have something to prove to OSU and it would bring out the best in our players.

Louisville is so overrated it's sickening (I've watched 3 of their games), and i have this terrible NEOhio fan thought in the back of my mind that we would blow this great opportunity to beat a former coach (who left us none the less) especially when we should be heavily favored.

Let's be honest, we already own the Buckeyes in men's soccer. Besides, on a national stage, our supposed inferior university and programs would look that much better beating a coach who left us because he couldn't win a national championship here. Also, we don't have a lead in the all-time matchup against Louisville. I love seeing us beat teams like that and Indiana was by far the best example. They have owned us, but the tables have turned. Bring on Louisville! (However, I don't see either Louisville or OSU getting past the winner of UNC-SMU.)

Just started watching, but seriously Louisville. Cheerleaders?? Definitely not a soccer thing.

The band is not a soccer thing either, but I enjoyed having them at a few of the bigger soccer games a few years ago. It added energy to the atmosphere and demonstrated a higher level of University support. Cheerleaders are no different, but give me the band any day.

On the one hand I agree that these US college features are foreign to international football. The worst thing about Seattle Sounders games (besides the aching back from having to stand for 90 minutes!) :P is that awful band that plays from the upper deck. On the other hand, it's an opportunity to put our stamp on the beautiful game. Cheerleaders chants could be America's vuvuzela. Check it out on Thursday when FIFA awards the 2018 and 2022 World Cups. The USA is the slim leader for 2022.

So, what's your reaction to the World Cup decision?

I'm curious to hear Z.I.P.'s reaction also. As for mine, I can only think of two words:

Contingency Plan

Well sounds like some rich Qatar businessmen "donated" some money.

I'm a bit surprised though, I mean both of our countries' leaders are Muslim, should be a tossup.

Glen Beck and Rush Limbaugh are muslims? Wow! :D

As for reaction, yes, FIFA needs a back-up plan alright. And Sepp Blatter won't be getting any Nobel Peace Prize votes from the USA (I think that like the Heisman, laureates get a vote, no?)

Qatar is a country of 800,000 full-time citizens, and a like # of foreign worker servants, built (Doha, the capital, where most of the population sits) on land reclaimed from the sea. It's a floating oil derrick, for Pete's sake. And one which will not understand or acknowledge democracy in our lifetimes. Similar to the Beijing Olympics, only without established infrastructure. I just hope they don't expect non-Arabs to fill their air conditioned stadiums (i.e., before they disassemble them for gift to Egypt and Libya).

Russia? Bit of a surprise for those who were paying attention to many unknowing US "experts", but Russia/Qatar were considered favorites leading up to the vote by many European and British media. Still, a shocking outcome. FIFA deserves international investigation, not any prizes. Hope the Panorama (BBC) expose' shows up on US telly.
