official SRiC World Cup thread

I dont think the game is too bad its the ***** *** rules & people that play it... if one hand gets laid on them they writhe around on the ground like someone hit em in the jewels with a baseball bat, i think the rules of the game are to blame for attracting all the panzies.

Watch the injuries and watch what most players try to get away with. Have you seen someone put metal cleats into someone's face? Or their leg?
It's not a pretty sight.
Why are soccer rules wussified?

They don't even play a set amount of time. The clock runs out and they continue to play until the ref decides to call the "match". Are they giving the team that is losing that extra amount of time to get that tie goal because they hate to see anyone lose?

What match was this?
True there are people that try to fake out the ref and get away with it. It's like that in most sports.

Soccer is to sports as drifting is to racing...

soccer is possibly the worst sport ever. and dont say i dont know about the game, i played competetive and select for 11 years. then i found lacrosse and all those years of soccer were a waste of time.
