Any Football Fans? (as in Soccer)

[Enigma869]

Soccer requires a ball, or in the case of Iran, Iraq, Pakistan, or any one of a number of hell hole African countries, a human head to kick around.

Absolute classic, SJ! Funny shit and sadly, true)!


John from Boston

No its not.

I would say truer words were never spoken!

Well people are on about the sissyness of Soccer (its football goddamn it!!!!!!!!)

Why do you call soccer "football". It's very easy to tell the difference between the two games.

Here's a football:



...and here's a soccer ball:



Hope that clears up any confusion for you.

To confuse things more.
There is a sport called handball,(which is big in Europe),.That is like soccer,played with your hands on a court the size of a basketball court ,with the goals an approximate size as 1/3 of a soccer goal.Ball is approximate 1/3 of a soccer ball.

It is super fast, full tilt,no padding and scores are easily 30-28 a game.
If I remember correct ,each half is about 30 minutes.
Check it out, ehh if there is somewhere to check it out.

Soccer suffers as a spectator sport in the eyes of most Americans for several reasons.

Soccer suffers as a spectator sport for one very important reason in the U.S. ...Most Americans simply don't understand anything about the game, and have zero desire to understand anything about the game! The bottom line for the U.S. is we simply don't give a shit! Remember...the only sport in our country we can remotely compare it to is ice hockey (and by compare, I mean having goals scored). In hockey, the net is about one tenth of the size of a soccer net, and yet there is no shortage of offensive action!

etc etc etc....

I’m losing the will to live bashing my head against this brick wall. Let’s just say you provide a compelling argument as to why so many people outside the US regard the US attitude to sport as parochial, insular and naïve.

Oh, I forgot… you don’t give a shit.

Out of the need to socialise and fit in I adopted Tottenham Hotspur when I moved to the UK. Yes Im a dumfuck, out of all the teams I could have picked ......

I enjoy it, however I cant get into it like I do baseball ..

I will NEVER be able to spew venom at an Arsenal fan the way that I as a lifelong Red sox fan spew venom at a Yankees fan.

And Ill never wish to die and have my ashes scattered at White Hart lane the way that I want to have em scattere at Fenway.

There's sports and there is THE SPORT and THE TEAM, and they live here:

OK now,
Soccer sucks. The ONLY acceptable reason anyone should be playing it in the summer/fall would be to get in shape for hockey season. That's it.

Where I live, someone opened up a damn indoor soccer facility and leagues sprung up and got very popular over the years...especially in the winter, thereby cutting the huge number of perspective hockey players probably in half. Parents seemed to love it, as they didn't have to travel with their kids to hockey games at ungodly hours and save money in the process as it was a very cheap alternative to giving your kids something to do.
Now instead of all-day family bonding on a hockey trip, moms can toss their kids into their minivans, grab their fake Coach purses, and drive to the local soccerplex where everybody gets to play, even the fat ones...how gay!

Kids thesedays now have even more time to eat their Ho-Hos after the game and play on their fucking X-box.

I loved reading this thread omg

I hate soccer too BTW...just don't "get it" except maybe if I have insomnia that might help a bit.

Sounds like a lot of gay kids in your town.

Hint...They now play their gameboys,psps or ma or pa's cellphone games on their trips.So they are sitting on their arses anyways matey.

With less travel time there is now more time to cook home made meals instead of macs for lunch and dinner .
Kids need downtime too and if they choose a couple of hours on their games so be it.Lots of us guys who seem to live here on melodic rock could probably use some more fresh air, if you knowhatimsaying.

Ohh,don't forget the gas you are saving.

You have to be born anywhere else other than the United States to TRULY "get" soccer. Five billion people can't be wrong.

Oh, and fuckers...I played from the age of five all the way through college, until I transfered to a D1 school where I had no shot at getting on the roster. Bash it all you want, but I guarantee 99% of you would have a heart attack before the culmination of the first half. The best athletes in the world are soccer, track and field, hockey, and tennis players.

Very cool 7. But it's fucking boring dude. They might be in the best shape of any athlete, but they play a boring game. I'd rather watch a cooking show.

You're nuts. Soccer is for pussies and Euros...and there really isn't a difference. What a scumbag sport, typified by rioting fans who actually, in certain cases, deem it necessary to kill each other and/or the referees!!!

BBWWAAAA! How fucking stupid? Since when was Iran, Iraq or Pakistan in Africa? What hope is there with that level of ignorance?
