My stoner friend made picking up the tickets incredibally more complicated than it had to be. So I just went down and scalped some tickets. Mid Field 200 level.
They seemed really bad when I was walking there, but ended up being real great seats. I could see the whole field with ease. Very satisfied with how the game looks from that distance.
I also spent a small portion watching from the corner by the beer garden. Always love watching a few minutes from there with all the rowdys.
Side Note: Man does it suck wearing a polska jersey after a loss...Every other person was apologizing to me all night long. Did I really look that distraught ??? lol

I didn't see that one, but I saw at least 8 other poles get arrested. I mean they were actually asking for it. After harrassing Argentinian fans, I saw one told to chill by security and he followed up by raising his scarf and saying "WTF you gonna do about it".
He was then pinned to the ground with his hands behind his back while screaming "im not resisting" although he was clearly resisting the whole time.
I love my poles but I witnessed some behaviour yesterday that I label
"disgrace to a nation"
Some folks do anything for attention.

Evolution certainly has its hiccups.
Oxygen thieves is quite the term btw.
I also like wastes of genetic material.

hahaha i love like after the foul when the black guy from portugal pushes the other dude over, and then the dude that got pushes rolls around like he has serious brain damage or something... if that happened in hockey the dude woulda got back up and beat the hell out of the guy...
like i love soccer but i cant stand the diving and overall pussyness, just to get the ref to give the dude a penalty, its embarassing for the game and i think that its a big reason why many americans (USA and Canada) dont like soccer, it doesnt seem to be a "man's sport" like hockey, football, etc.
you never really see any soccer brawls because instead of fighting back the guys are busy trying to act like they are seriously hurt
it also entertains me when one of the guys is laying down on the field for 5 mins, then they bring him onto the sideline with a stretcher and they as soon as he gets to the sidelines he just gets up and runs back into the play....
in the 4 main 'american' sports, hockey, basketball, baseball, and footbal, rarely would you ever see someone dive, but in soccer it happens about every 5 mins....

That's because soccer has morals. You fight in hockey, 2 min penalty; you fight in soccer, you're suspended 2 games.

NO! they are two totally different games, fighting is just part of the game when it comes to hockey, hockey is a contact sport, soccer seems to be an actors sport unfortunately
pretending to be hurt so that your team gets a free kick is IMMORAL! two guys dropping the gloves in an intense game and then going to the box for 5 mins is just part of the game
it seems now that in soccer, diving is also just part of the game

I do agree with what you're saying about diving, I never argued that and never will. It is, unfortunately, too accepted as part of today's game.
My main point is this: in soccer, because it's not as much of a contact sport as hockey or football or rugby etc, it does make for harsher calls on contact. You hit someone in the face, you're sent off, no questions asked. So, like for example Rivaldo in the WC in 2002, you see a Academy Award nomination all for the 1 man advantage. In Hockey, where contact is acceptable under 'reason', you see guys like Scott Stevens putting people in coma's from 'clean' checks and not even a penalty is called. I can go on all day of extreme examples from both ends, but at the end of the day, I would say being knocked out cold even if it's legal is much more immoral than diving. Players are not to blame for this, the leagues are. Once the rules get cracked down, the game's will change. If that ever happens... well... completely different argument.
