I could never watch it because it bores me to tears...I hate soccer with a passion! I'm pulling for the U.S. team to win, but I really couldn't give less of a shit whether they do or not...that's how much the World Cup interests me. I don't understand why this sport is the world's most popular sport, why people overseas get so worked up watching this boring shit that they get into fights and stampede and trample people after a game sometimes. Fucking stupid as hell!
"Van Halen was one of the most hallelujah, tailgate, backyard, BBQ, arrive four hours early to the gig just for the parking lot bands. And still to this day is. It's an attitude. I think it's a spirit more than anything else is."

That is because you don't understand the game. You think football is for girls, and thats what's in your team. The play it nicely but they just can't score a goal What the US need is a European coach (not a German one) and maybe, maybe if he works 4 years with a new young team you can get to the second round. But I guess you have to wait let's say 20 years or so that you will be in the semi finals.

I have played soccer all of my life at a very competitive level.
I just can't watch the game anymore...well I did watch today and it confirmed all that I hate about soccer.
Pojo alrady talked about the Italy - US game.
Worse than that was the one earlier...Iran v. Portugal.
They play couldn't be sustained for more than 30 seconds for all of the diving!!! Now there were some legitimate calls and even yellow cards for late tackles.
But it was so far past being a joke that only fools can support it. The worst part is that it is the game's biggest stars doing the diving as well.
Guys being escorted off the pitch to attend to a little boo-boo.
BHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Pu-lease. Seriously, guys have a little scrape on their arm and they are getting medical attention WHILE THE GAME IS GOING ON for 4-5 minutes. There's no blood!! A scrape. Holy fuck.
This talk of not knowing the game is bullshit. I have attended dozens and dozens of international soccer matches and I can't do it anymore.
Watching Honduras fall down for 30 minutes straight (here in Canada) every 45 seconds to waste time and preserve a win.
Oh the glory and passion of the sport!
Fuck me. The truth is that soccer/football is such a part of people's lives the world over (I have been there and seen it for myself) they can't or won't see the glaring flaws.
The problem is that the act of feigning injury or questioning the ref like a little bitch for 90 minutes straight has become what the sport is.
A forum for drama-queen little faggots. Seriously. I can't take it anymore. The game is great to play, but it has been ruined.
Refs have given a few yellows for diving this world cup, but like I said, it is the culture of whining and arms flailing at the call or lack of a call that is so unbearable.
Can't say that I don't know the game. It sucks now.

You're right! Those schwalbes really kill the sport, but looking at Argentina last friday makes me forget all those actors. It's still a beautiful game for many millions of people
Originally posted by POJO_Risin Christ...this is fucking ridiculous...the Italians fall on the fucking ground every time there is a US player within' five feet...
Why do you think we lost WWII??
Having Italy on our side wasn´t that good an idea!
