You're right, it does make my blood boil. My favorite is this one: "Soccer apologists say the reason it is not popular in the US is because the US is not any good at that activity. The US soccer team won the World Cup in 1991 and 1999. Better find another reason."
Before someone sends an impassioned e-mail Um, I do remember a whole bunch of folks getting bent out of shape over "Satan Trek", too...
You have to love the "soccer is slow" argument as opposed to sports such as football and baseball where you have ten seconds of action every two minutes. C14
Now that is some funny stuff. I don't know whether to laugh, or cry...from laughing so hard. Without guys like this, the world would be a humorless place. Who, other than us, would put so much time into a soccer related website? 20-1 says he got beat up by a soccer player/his girlfriend dumped him for a soccer player/he got cut from AYSO/masturbation has lost it's fun. Oh man, that absolutly made my day. I say we sick Segroves on him. Now THAT would be funny. That being said, I think he just needs a friend.
I think this one is right up there. "5. Soccer appeals to Joe Sixpack..." Tears...in...my...eyes. He's killing me. There's even one that complains about the exclusion of rodeo from the Olympics. I sweat to the Almighty himself I am gonna laugh myself to death.
The more I read, the funnier it gets. [insert smiley face laughing here]...haven't figured out how to do that yet.
Sorry to keep posting, but so much funny stuff. ""The rest of the world loves soccer. Surely we must be missing something. Uh, isn't that what the Russians told us about communism? There's a good reason why you don't care about soccer - it's because you are an American and hating soccer is more American than mom's apple pie, driving a pick-up and spending Saturday afternoon channel-surfing with the remote control." - Tom Weir Proud to be an American
That's pretty funny. I guarantee you this guy is a soccer fan (wouldn't be supirsed if it's a BigSoccer posted, actually). Alex
What a great website! Did you know that soccer sucks because "soccer participants actually fellate one another"? And soccer is popular because "the dreadfully slow pace of soccer appeals to the dimwitted." This is good stuff. Whoever maintains this site knows a lot about the game - probably a soccer fan himself.
Exactly. It's an elaborate and well-orchestrated joke by a soccer fan. Either way, I find it hard to get upset about something so amusing.
I think this has to be my favorite: Soccer apologists say the reason it is not popular in the US is because it wasn't invented in the US. First, soccer originated from the North American game called pasuckuakohowog several hundred years before the British played something resembling it. Second, basketball was the creation of a Canadian, yet is very popular in the US. pasuckuakohowog.....is he for real?! hahaha
that is one of unfortunates things happen in soccer which i hate it and that what make some people (soccer bashers) think soccer is a gay sport, FIFA should get rid of this kind of act by creating a rule.
