World Cup Preview revisited
SPORTING GOODS
Just wondering if my comparisons between World Cup qualifiers and major league teams make any sense at all. With no major shockers in the quarterfinals, we're actually looking OK. The final 8 teams:Mets, Cardinals, Giants, Braves
Yankees, Twins, Angels, A's
That wouldn't be a shocking ALDS/NLDS lineup at all. Not bad!
Actually, the matchups in the quarters should be great (including two rematches of previous World Cup finals). Unfortunately, the round of 16 games for the most part were not the kind of games that are going to be breeding any new soccer fans in the US.

yeah definitely...though i wasn't going on this year alone, history played a big part as well.
otherwise, no way would i have made the decrepid yankees = brazil.
of course, the history part of it is what made me make spain = red sox. very promising, but almost always disappoint in the pressure games. check.
