Obama as President. Same sex marriage. World Cup cared about by Americans.

All part of the same disease.

Do have to agree with his comment about Michael Bradley, he was horrid last night - hopefully just a one off thing. Don't think the Ports will be as quick as the Ghana players either.

The American announcers do get tiresome with the over-hyping of all things American, especially Tim Howard. I remember two or three decent saves, but I also question him somewhat on the goal (ex-keeper, so I may be overly critical).

Soccer bashers being little pusses that never played any sport in their life, also seemingly all part of the same disease.

Is that you, or your husband, sweetie-pie?

I liked playing soccer.

Fullback.

World Cup, though? Organized adult leagues like Eurotrash?

You can have it and your Gay Weddings and your Progressive outlook.

I prefer not to follow this trend.

Did you say something, puss? Didn’t think so.

It’s actually a pollution of this forum to post about this European nastiness.

It’s bothersome to us Americans who hold to at least a modicum of decency.

The UCONN men’s basketball team wasn’t supposed to make the playoffs let alone get by the first round. They had been suspended the year before and had a new coach with a so-so NBA record as a player. They and the UCONN women’s team are the current champions.

We play the games because anything can happen.

Quite defensive are we?

There is help for you.

“... I have lost all desire to watch Copa Mudial after hearing about the Brazilian slaughter of their children in their streets to prepare for this event!”

What are you talking about?

Go away, little pansy, the adults who actually have the stones to get on the field and compete are talking about grown up stuff. I hear one of your two mommies calling you.

You take this quite seriously and have a pretty large inferiority complex.

You jump on threads about issues you don’t care about and make an ass out of yourself. That is not holding a modicum of decency.

Poor baby.

How come US Soccer fans are so touchy?

Cause they know they are wrong.

Sensitive.

If there were anything to this other than being Europeanization of the US, the Liberal goal, you guys wouldn’t need to be so defensive.

You’d laugh it off.

When you, here, everyone of you, were kids, you all admired the champion marble player, the fastest runner, the toughest boxer, the big league ball players, and the All-American football players. Americans love a winner. Americans will not tolerate a loser. Americans despise cowards.
--Gen. George S. Patton
