So You Really Think Soccer Blows?

Squirming is boring. So are you planning to get on with it, or not? Ask someone (you can ask practically anyone) how to compose a insult. There was a good one posted just above.

This is fun.

[1rudeboy]

I agree. Wouldn't be here otherwise.

[Darkwolf377]

You obviously enjoy being made a fool of, you do it so well. ;)

[1rudeboy]

It happens from time to time. I'll let you know when it does.

Again, no one is saying you are unpatriotic, we are merely discussing the limits of your patriotism.

That's ridiculous. Judging someone's patriotism by whether or not they root for an American team.

I rooted every time for Patrick Rafter against Pete Sampras. Does that make me unpatriotic, too?

This is the Smoky Backroom. You must be looking for Linens & Things.

Soccer still blows, but that was purdydamn funny

I'm not attacking their sexuality, I'm saying they remind me of the "boymen" who are ruining this world, the kind who never want to grow up, or "win" if it means someone else loses.

I won't attack their sexuality. I just question the limits of said sexuality.

My son in law (from Ecuador by way of Canada) told me that one team had a player that produced an "auto-goal" scoring against his team and the fans killed him after the match. This may be an urban legend, but the hooligans and deaths of fans at soccer matches are not.

Not an urban legend...and really, what's the deal with that?!

Folks in Seattle think the refs gave Super Bowl XL to Pittsburgh...I have yet to hear about any dead "zebras."

If you wish to see what messing with the clock can do . . .check out MLS. What an abomination.

There, it's more to the point.

Thanks for illustrating my points so well. Your lack of self-security about the activity you try to pass as a sport leads each of you to attack the messenger.

By the way, if my understanding of succer is anywhere close to being up to par, your US team of overgrown 8-year olds got itself owned today. Boy, don't they just make you proud to be an American? In fact, let me get out my Lee Greenwood CD and my big ole flag, which I will fly in their honor on Thursday.

But hey, we will all welcome them back home with wide open arms when they come back to the US next week.

Oh, who am I kidding? You will welcome them, the vast majority of Americans won't notice and still won't care.

[secret garden]

do Americans ever think that being in the minority could mean they are wrong?

No.

[GregH]

haha.. thats a funny one.
I wonder who even watches that trash game WNBA, how they even find sponsors and generate cash to keep the sport going, a truely boring sport.

[GregH]

A lot of people find baseball to be incredibly boring, their conservative credentials are pretty solid.

[secret garden]

They are bankrolled by the NBA.

[the scotsman]

Poor argument.

Britain was THE world power until the 1940's.

And 'soccer;'was,as now the no1 sport.

So then,the nation that invented football(the Scots and English) was also the sole superpower on earth...

You're so blind you're beyond help. :-D I never once made mention of soccer. Not once. I just laughed at your juvenile and inconsistent attempts to insult the adults here on a soccer-related thread.

And then you launch into the "neener neener, your team lost!" approach. Very mature. Perhaps next you can tell us that Peyton Manning "sucks" as a quarterback.

[tuffydoodle]

All sports are boring, except this one.
