Soccer by the card

Yellow card, red card. How about SAG card. The more agony the foulee can convey, the more likely a yellow card. Do they learn that at soccer camp? Writhing 101. I realize they are on the field and not on the screen but it seemed too mean to substitute an F for the S.

But, oh, the tension. Agassi is serving at 4-5, the score is at deuce. Too tense, I turn to soccer. England is lining up for a free kick, Hargreaves is taking the kick. Too tense, back to tennis. Agassi has held for 5-5.

Fast forward, its the first set tiebreak, Agassi is at 5-2. Nadal's service brings it to 5-4, then he takes one of Agassi's serves, its 5-5 in the tiebreak. Back to soccer. They are in the second overtime. Portugal is very agressive. Robinson is blocking shots left and right. Portugal sends the ball into the net, but someone is off-sides and its not a goal. Back to tennis, they are in a commercial. I don't know who won the first set. The second overtime in the soccer game is over. They are going into penalty kicks.

OMG, I need a nap.

Rafa rules! And what about Andy Murray. I hope I get a delayed tape of Venis--that was sad. But who is Perry? Her highlights looked promising for America.

I was going to ask who that Murray kid was giving Roddick a run for his money. I only saw the end of the first set but he was really good.

I'm waiting for some soccer player to say, 'I spit on your yellow card.'
