Soccer!?!? WTF? Americans don't give 2 "les shits" about soccer. Soccer is for the weak of heart. Soccer is for sissies. That's why the French excel at it. Soccer is only for those who don't have the "Spaldings" to play a real sport like football. You know the people that played soccer in High school? They were the ones who got cut from the Football team. Or ones who couldn't play an instrument otherwise they would tried out for band. So the only things left to choose from were soccer and ballet. Now take America's sport for example. You ever check out an American Football game there, Frenchie? Now that's a real sport. Blood, sweat, broken bones, fighting, etc. Real names like the Cowboys, the Giants, the Rams, the Steelers, the Titans, the Vikings, real manly names. We even have cheerleaders. Who do you guys have cheering for you, aside from some 500lb french heffer sitting in the stands eating "bon-bons". American Football is a real man's sport. The french could not even field a football team, let alone be any good at it, i bet. You guys better hope that football never becomes an Olympic Sport, cause the the US would lay a beating on you like you've never seen before. The only gold medals you would see would be the ones swinging from the necks of each American player. So, you guys can keep your soccer. And while we're at it, you can keep your Eiffel Tower, and your ReNaults, and even Gerard DePardieau. We don't give a flying fuck. have a good day, JD
