Why because i think soccer is better than ice dancing?? at least soccer players dont run around in ***gy tights with their man baster hanging out..

it is funny that they dont call traveling anymore, you can run like 20ft before they call it. They probably dont really call it too much anymore so its easier to dunk, and everyone likes dunking it sells tickets.

 

whoa

 

I played soccer for 13 years... I still don't give a **** about the world cup

 

I've banged your mom for 18 but you don't seem me bragging, son.

 

good.. I wouldn't brag either

 

I think soccer is a cult... ive heard so many peolpe say they played soccer for 10 years then realized one day how gay it is.... i think they brainwash you or something

 

And they call the field a "pitch" :rotfl:

 

So is it fair to say that the person that prepares the field the "pitcher" and the players and fans are all "catchers"?

 

"If theres grass on the field, play ball!" :rotfl:

 

 

ACK the game i was referring to was NOT pocket pool..

 

I did make the thread Kevin moved stuff around

It is true there are quite a few "dives" in soccer. But on the same hand if two players are running full speed at eachother and there is a shove you can almost guarantee the player falling is going fall awkwardly and possibly tweak something..........the field is not made of airbags

They do play a set amount of 90 minutes. However as Ed mentioned there is no such thing as a timeout in soccer so when players get hurt, a fan throws something on the field, an equipment malfunction, or even when the ball gets hit out of play and there is a corner kick the 4th official (not the refferee or his assitants) who sits near the players bench jots down how much time it took and at the end of each half about 3-5 minutes before he will come out give us additional time per half based on all the stopped play.

I also played soccer for 11 years! I'm not in the same boat as you with regards to being a fan of the sport and I understand that. But can we keep this thread clean for the people who do care about the World Cup?

:rotfl:


In all seriousness though everyone I apologize for coming off strong this morning in regards to posts of the scores in the daily thread and I understand that everyone has a right to post wherever they want. But all I ask is that we keep the world cup stuff in this thread for those of us who want to watch the games and not know the scores. Yes, dan I am one of those 23 people in the US who care about soccer.......I grew up with it mainly because of my family ties to Swtizerland I've watched the world cup every 4 years since I was 2 years old and cant wait till every 4 years when its World Cup time. So it really means a lot to me as much as I am sure the Stanley cup means to you.

 

Italy vs. Ghana was an awesome game

Ghana did awesome considering this was their first ever world cup experience.

I cant wait for tomorrow's France vs. Switzerland match
