    Americans and Aussies are the same, majority hate Soccer and love their own sports.

    You know, maybe that's why I find myself rooting for the Australians. I love the underdog, especially when a majority of the sport fans in that country could give a flying flip about the World Cup. If Canada would ever make it they'd probably be my second favorite team. But then I'm also a big Germany supporter. I've always had a fascination with and admiration for that country. Damn you Arnold Scwhartzenegger! (I know he's Austrian.)

    :lol::lol: Not sure if I want to laugh, cry or be sick. After Argentina there's only one country that turns every English football fan into a rabid lunatic..... Germany.

    Less than 48 hours to go. :D

    soccer/football is an underwear sport played by guys who know how to 1.) kick the ball, 2.) run after the ball, and 3.) act like a sniper shot them from the 8th row everytime anyone on the opposing team attempts to tackle the ball. Americans can see through this. the rest of the world are a bunch of stupid idiots.

    I love to turn you on

    american sports are thus

    1. US Football - whats with all the padding... the last time I seen anything wearing that much padding was on a hemophiliac elephant during a particularly heavy period. Also, there are about 48 men in each team... no wonder they never sweat, they only run 10 yards max before their fat hearts collapse under the weight of that padding.

    2. Baseball... worlds easiest game. Nobody plays it in the rest of the world as they don't want to be seen dead wearing a matching pyjama set. throw a ball, hit it hard. It's the sporting equivalent of cup n ball... except in cup n ball you don't have to wear night clothes during the day.

    3. Basketball. Kinda limited to really tall fuckers, who if it werent for basketball would either have a career in giraffe dentistry or as a travelling freak in an old time circus. Big lanky men look stupid when running... almost as stupid as girls... almost.

    ;);)
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    And why is that?? It seems most people I've talked to from Europe have bad feelings towards Germans. And Germans tend to not like just about all other Europeans. I lived in Germany for two years and never saw any particular reason to dislike them. Maybe cause I blended in so well they thought I was one of them. I actually had an argument with a German couple one time at some wine fest. They were convinced I was German even though I and my German girlfriend assured them I wasn't. One of my favorite memories over there. I speak the language, but not fluently. I'm sure they could detect the Americanese. :lol:

    It's just one of those things. I've been to Germany a few times and have always found the people friendly and polite. The same with them when you meet them on holiday. But the football team!!!! I just want everyone to beat them.

    I'm really excited for Saturday's game. It is too bad i'll be at work for most of the games during the world cup as none of them will be played at night in the states. Kind of limits what i can watch.

    We have a group of about 20 friends going to the local bar to watch the game. It should be great fun lots of fun :D

    soccer is the most played sport by kids from age 4-12 in america. skateboarding is a close 2nd.

    just saying

    it def isn't just running around and kicking a ball. it's a human chess match really. if you just go running around kicking the ball for the hell of it defenses will stop before you even get to the penalty yard mark and make you look really stupid. that if you even get that far. soccer players are like any other athletes they always wanna get a call. soccer players are more good at acting.

    so i guess football is for meatheads who like to get their brain bashed in. i guess baseball is for nerds who couldn't hack it in football or hockey. see it's fun to generalize a sport when you have no clue bout the game isn't it steve :roll:.


    people in this country don't care bout soccer cause its not a fabric of the country like football and baseball and basketball is. soccer is a niche sport like hockey is. just that hockey has had a foundation since 1920's here. the only way the non soccer die hard will care bout soccer is if we win the world cup. it would be like the 1980 miracle on ice. thats when people truly cared bout hockey.
