Not soccer or any other sport in it, I find it rather silly.
Euro Cup
I find the olympics a good way to wind down after a summer of European championship, Wimpeldon (not that interested in Tennis, but hey - sports is sport
) and Tour De Dope .. ehh - Tour De France.
Although I'm not terrible interested in athlethic disciplins (running, jumping, skipping, throwing .... etc
), I'll still watch some, just to kick the withdrawel sympotons.

The Olympic football I think, is most interesting because you can spot young talents. So I'm going to watch some games, although I won't follow it as closely as the World Cup if I'm alive and kicking in 2 years!
There is no better way to relax after a period of hard work than hiking in the mountains, playing D2 or similar mindless games and watching sports. I am trying to follow the Tour le Dope now, but unfortunately I will miss the mountain stages and also the first week of the Olympics due to a holiday and a congress in China. Instead, I will be lying on my back in a slow river boat, watching this:


Poor me

Giving up the moutain stages of Tour De Dope for *that* - sheez, blasphemic.
(by the way ... I wonder what is called "EPO" in Denmark, is called in english. I have no dictonary that covers it. - I usually call it Tour De Epo instead, as it is what all the rides get busted for

@Xan: I know, but to my defence I can say that it's not only that...it's actually the World Congress of Psychology in Beijing as well...and I have to be there to present some stuff, it's not my fault...
EPO is called EPO in English too, in all languages I guess since it is an acronym for a hormone, erythropoietin, and such terms are usually international.

Yeah - I know (somewhat
) what EPO is and how it works and that it is an acronym. However - my (limited
) searching hadn't revealed any information where I could conclude it was named EPO in english as well
Bah - World Congress .... flaunting your knowlegde, huh?

I certainly hope your familiarity with is limited
Of course, the only reason to go to a World congress is to exchange flaunting of knowledge
and sometimes it's nice when they are situated at interesting locations too...
