Guest Cosmigonon Posted June 26 Report Share Posted June 26 ...you can celebrate, for France's almighty football team, current European champions, was defeated yesterday by Greece 1 - 0. It was pretty interesting seeing all the French crying on the stands in the Stadium, and also the look of desbelief in Zidane, Henry and Trezeguet's faces... ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest pod Posted June 26 Report Share Posted June 26 I'm surprised it hasn't taken off, since there is a fair amount of hooliganism involved. I could give a shit about the sport, I'm only concerned with beating the shit out of the opposing team's fanbase. It is why I like hockey, the crowd and players get violent.

V. Barbarino Posted June 26 Report Share Posted June 26 norah still can find a man to fuck her.. at any rate, soccer is never going to be big here EVER! Even with Pela playing for the Cosmos, the league failed. MLS is a blip on the radar. International soccer and world cup is even less covered by US media. There is a reason, soccer has a fundemetal flaw in the game. There is no offense. There is a saying on the pro level of football. Offense sells ticketsdefense wins games. Soccer has no offense. 1 nothing games are not like 1 nothing baseball. Hockey is learning that they need to address the problem, and they started to. Tennis is looking into lower psi balls for more ralleys. In the history of the NFL they have never once passed a rule helping the defense. Baseball, builds smaller parks for more HR etc. Soccer needs to learn this. Now for you die hards who like the low scoring, great, but 99% of americans DON'T!so go watch ajax play uventis, and I'll be preparing for my fantasy football league.

Guest endymion Posted June 26 Report Share Posted June 26 Norah, if you wait until he says something stupid before you jump on him then it makes him look worse when he says mean personal shit about you. Then we can delete it.Saleen, I know that you're accustomed to a more crass environment but we're trying to keep CoolJunkie civilized. Remember?And I would be way more into this 'futbol' thing if I didn't watch so many matches that ended in 0-0 draws. Yawn. It doesn't have to be double-digit basketball scores but hello? A point every quarter or two maybe so that you can see who won? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You Idiot, don't talk about stuff you don't know...... Soccer is the most popular sport on earth for a reason. You have no clue how the game of soccer works, therefore you cannot and will not understand it... let alone judge it.When you don't understand something, naturally it will be boring to you. If I lock you in a room for 6 hours full of people speaking Lebanese, It will be the most boring experience of your life.. Why? because you don't understand it......Common sense. To some people American football is the most pointless, brainless form of sport. Why? They don't understand it...Take your economics degree and shove it. You might be book smart, but you lack all sorts of common sense..... I thought you were brighter than that....I'm disappointed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might be book smart, but you lack all sorts of common sense..... I thought you were brighter than that....I'm disappointed.I played soccer for over 14 years, until I started playing football in the 8th grade. Not only did I play, I was damm good playing on some of the elite teams around NJ at the time. But as HS approaches men separate from the boys and men play football. Second, I never stated the fact that it's not the most popular sport on earth, but in the realm of Americans it's not even printed in the newspapers and has a different name. The game will never draw the money that American sports do. When the world cup was at Giants stadium, they were all foreigners there (in hindsight a perfect opp to deport them all at once) but few if any avg American was there. They had their shot at making the game big here, and like in the 70's with Pele, it failed and will always fail. (Pele played in NJ)The game is for pussys, and the lack of athletic ablility needed to play the game is why it's so popular. Any guy with 2 legs can play. Unlike the 4 major sports in the US. sure the pros are good, but the disparity between college sports and pro sports in this country is night and day, unlike soccer since it's not an offensive game. It a stalemate with a lucky shot. Then toss in the fact there is little if any "any given sunday" parity in soccer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the best player fails 7 out of 10 at bats. Have you faced gas at 98mph? I have and few would even have the balls to stand in the box.
