I think it is supposed to be a game between two teams that ends in a Zero-Zero tie. But every once in awhile the refs screw up and one team beats the other and then all hell breaks loose in the stands and people stampede into the streets and burn things.

Good grief, it sounds like a northeastern power outage.

Not to be mocking, but seriously what time and channel are these games on? I keep seeing threads go by about the World Cup and about the US tying England, but my television doesn’t even know any of this is happening.

The horn is called Vuvuzela, which sounds like the name of a 1960s stripper.

“Islamist militants in Mogadishu last weekend killed two people and arrested 10 others for watching World Cup soccer, which is banned in Somalia. Islamist leader Sheik Abu Yahya Al-Iraqi said that soccer “descended from the old Christian cultures, and our Islamic administration will never allow” watching the World Cup.”

Why don’t the muzzie just give up everything that “descended from the old Christian cultures”? They could just go sit in their sandbox and kick sand in each others face all day long because they surely haven’t contributed one thing to civilization.

It all centers around how you like your vulvas.

As you've asked, the horn the idiot fans are OVERblowing, and deafening people with, is called the Vuvuzela. You can look up the history of that noisemaker at your convenience.

Fuzzyvulva is just (imho) a very nice pun on that word.

FReegards to you!

Hey, all the haters around here have something in common with fundamentalist Islamists!

Is that really an apt pun?

After all the tournament does include Brazilians!

True. However, Brazilians speak Portuguese.

(...couldn't resist...)

SOCCER will never take hold in the USA because the international game is geared towards crybabies. Here’s video proof.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cU0Eho3kkjs

Although a spoof, it is rooted in truth. When an NFL FOOTBALL player writhes around on the ground, it’s for a compound fracture or total knee joint blowout.

When a SOCCER player writhes around on the ground, 95% of the time it’s acting.

Ronnie Lott amputated his pinkie to continue to play.

Diego Maradona did a $10,000 line of blow.

USA 1 England 1 In the so called WORLD CUP. What a joke. It’s like kindergarten because everybody is a winner for just showing up.

The United States is backward and exclusionary for not loving it.

No. The United States tires of 0-0 ties. If it were an American sport, the struggle would continue until someone is triumphant.

I have long thought that soccer was the perfect liberal sport.

Its non-violent, international and boring.

“Diego Maradona did a $10,000 line of blow.”

Can you imagine what that would be worth in today’s dollars?
