It’s hyperbole for effect. It’s effective :)

“...Shrink the field, block the sides...”

In other words, indoor soccer. They have that, you know.

Sure. Then ya throw in the weight off being piled up on after a play. Or pushing and pulling against a equally strong man throughout the entire game.

To each his own on the game.

The US faces the funny problem that we have so many options for our athletes to compete in. Thus we really don't have a pipeline of athletes going into soccer, unlike other countries.

Soccer bodes well in poorer countries where they lack resources and in Europe where they develop their kids in academies from a young age. Unlike here, where kids develop thru such things, but is more a individual pursuit.

I’ve already seen a couple of soccer players get “stitched up” (I think it’s more glue and tape, nowadays). And they need to get back on the field, because while they are receiving medical attention, their team is a man down.

Given Coulter's enthusiastic support for politicians like Romney & Christie, I'm not so sure it's hyperbole.

Coulter's not the sharpest knife. That much is clear.

It looks like some of the mean streets of Greenwich, CT. shows through from Ann's argument here. A little bit of the Ole John “Thurston Howell” Kerry syndrome here. I mean , tennis, golf, and yacht racing are not at the tip of the tongue to the average sports fan.

Excellent point, I can imagine Coulter writing the soccer columns for just that reason! And good for her! LOL!

Now I realize what it is that makes soccer seem to me to be loved by liberals.

It’s the way we are not allowed to not like it.

Liberals care about approval.

That’s who.

This may come as a shock to you, but most soccer fans don’t need your approval. And I think it points to a psychological issue of yours, not theirs.

Defeat Obamacare and the Democrats! Boycott soccer!

Let me know how that works out for you.

I find it hard to believe that soccer players “run” that many miles in a game. A lot of the time is spent standing, or trotting at best.
