I heard we beat Spain in football 2 to 0 but I was confused 'cause I don't how a two point conversion can be scored without the initial touch down. Those Eurpopeans must not understand how football works.
I watch a lot of the EPL actually, and as much of the Champions League as possible, but even though coverage is getting better it's tough to really keep in touch with it all. I've never had the opportunity to watch it in a real pub with crazy fans but hopefully someday I'll get the chance.
To be clear, I'm a fanatic for football, baseball, basketball, and golf, so for all the people thinking I'm some Euro-loving fag, your really only about 20% right.
fair enough, and now that ESPN got part of Setanta's contract for next year, I'm sure more will get into it.
That's true, I heard about that. Another reason I love it is that usually the games are on in the middle of the day here so I have something to watch while I work.
It's also going to help with all of the HD coverage. Soccer is really hard to watch on SD if you don't care, and don't know whats going on. The camera's are pulled back so far that it's just a bunch of blurry colors running around.
I'd be interested to see if anybody is going to South Africa next year.
Some of you fuckers are just plain fucking stupid. How can you say soccer isn't a sport. Your fat ass can't even run. So shut the fuck up. I don't even like watching soccer but damn why the fuck do you have to come in here and talk about how its for fags and all this bullshit. People like you make me not want to be an American. Fucking get out the country and actually see how other people live maybe you might like it.
I was never much into soccer until my friend made me sit down and watch the Fifa World Cup the last time around. He made me cheer for South Korea (because he was Korean). Decked me out with their teams colors and shit. RED DEVILS AND SHIT YEAHHH...
Anyways... They got a huge fan base and it was fun to watch them win their first few games, but then lose to Japan in the end.
Now these Thai fucks loveeeeee soccer, but they only know three teams - Liverpool, Arsenal, and Manchester United. It's annoying as fuck to watch them bitch over who they want to win... but thats just like in America with football.

I can't dispute that, although I have suggested that we call it "Mans Game" in former threads, because that's what it is - a mans game.
In all seriousness, what the fuck do we need to get into rugby for when we have football? I wonder how it is that rugby players can't get into football and make much more mad dough.
And why would we want to get into soccer? It's like promoting faggotry at the highest levels.
If the rest of the world had competitive NFL quality football leagues I guarantee that it'd be #1. It would also be awesome to see a very competitive world football league.
But hey, I'm hard lined against a few sports, most notably soccer and NASCAR. I've got nothing against racing but NASCAR is just watered down pussy racing (and here comes ANOTHER left turn). I'd rather watch the national spelling bee before either ones of those.
In some of these arguments I did discover hurling though, which looks fucking awesome. How hasn't that caught on?
Cut said:
Good go live in fucking Europe then puss boy. Aww your feelings got hurt! Poor baby.
It's called a safety - lol.
Alright Einstein, try standing up and reading it again and see if you get the joke. If not move to higher ground cause this shit is going over your head.
Dude, they made right turns the other day! I only saw the highlights but it looks like there were about 75 crashes. I think they kept getting confused and turning left into each other.
I'm a Brit who loves both types of football and I can understand the apathy in the US. It's hard to keep up with a sport when you're not even in the same few timezones. I support the Bucs in the NFL, but I live and die for Blackpool Football Club.
Our football is a deeply ingrained cultural thing, people have been playing it and fighting over it for longer than the US has even been a country*. It doesn't help that the MLS is a circus, and sadly reflects the US sports fetish for 'Franchises' rather than grass roots support.
When a team in England was moved from its home of 120 years to another town it was boycotted by every other football fan in the country until it gave up all claims, trophies and history of the original club, which was then resurrected by a group of supporters. Only now are they an accepted team, but their relative lack of 'history' is still a major point of taunting. If you look at English football forums you'll very often find fans arguing over which club has the superior 'history', even down into the lowest leagues.
*"The game of football has been associated with violence since its beginnings in 13th century England. Medieval football matches involved hundreds of players, and were essentially pitched battles between the young men of rival villages and towns – often used as opportunities to settle old feuds, personal arguments and land disputes." Football Violence in Europe - Executive Summary
Edit- Oh and great win for the US, I still think the US will become a force in international football eventually.

I seriously don't understand why don't they let Freddy Adu and Jose Torres to play. Altidore is allright but other than that single moment of goal, he has been of little use.
Have to say I don't like football one bit, I have only ever watched about 2 or 3 full games in my life however calling a sport that you don't like gay and pussy just shows a height of ignorance and lets other people know what a dumbass you are, especially when you start getting worked up in an internet forum.

I also think it is pretty good that America are improving, I remember being a kid and their team being the butt of everyone's jokes.

Your stereotyping a whole country while at the same time reinforcing your own stereotype, good move squire.
There's nothing wrong with football as a game but I just hate the whiney ass players and the general faggotry surrounding it.
American Football sits way down the chopping block when it comes to world sports I'm pretty, sans US, more people watch: euro football, rugby, aussie rules football, basketball, cricket and even baseball (which I find mind numbing).
Rugby players are build differently that NFL players, and a few have tried to make the switch, but seeing the NFL game is on 10 seconds, off a minute, it's not really that great. Rugby is 40 minutes non-stop scrumming, jumping, pushing, crushing, passing, etc. I doubt many NFL players could survive on a rugby field, honestly.
