Oh, I never realized you liked soccer Allen, I thought you were a Leeds fan.

Chris.

The next time I travel to Toronto I will be sure to pay you a visit and remind you that you said that. Politely of course.:winkwink:

Too bad Diego Armando got caught with his metamphetamine hobby in WC US 1994, I was so looking forward to see him

:)

My dad is better than your dad.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obesity...United_Kingdom Looks some countries big on soccer aren't the thinest of the thin either. :winkwink:

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

I look forward to your next visit :winkwink:

Have you ever DRIVEN in Europe? I'm highly doubtful they expect much of drivers.

Is there anything entirely specific about the 50+ States in Europe and the driving habits of their inhabitants, apart from shifting gears manually?

Boring..... Like most sports.

Well some of y'all drive on one side of the road, some drive on the other side of the road. Some of y'all don't care which side you drive on.

Very well

They are ranked #28 . US is in top 10 with some island nations like Tonga and Samoa where overweight = beautiful. Ever seen any Tongan kids? They drink sugar jelly with milk and grow to be 6 feet by age of 12.

a lot of these arguments dont hold water.
fact is americans love to watch boring sports, but americans actually prefer the event to take all day (like a game of american football or baseball), so all they have to do is sit on the couch and drink lite beer (to keep them calories to a minimum, no need to pack on more than the usual few gut pounds)

fact is americans hate football (yes lets use the proper name) as it is not an american tradition to play football and the american sports TV broadcoast havent figured a good way to make money on broadcasting (there are no time outs for commercial breaks)

HAhahahahahaha

Anyway, can't stand American football, baseball or NASCAR. However i do like basketball.

But then again who really gives a shit about what a shit stain on an interweb forum thinks right.

:2 cents:

baseball is a lot more boring

stop playing soccer in elementary school and grow up and become douche bags and live vicariously through other athletes and team sports, or better yet become assholes and play golf and say it's a sport. wait. let's watch football or basketball where it's the same thing over and over. where the match is decided in the last 2 minutes of the game. just play 2 minute games because it's less agonizing. But we need football and basketball to keeping the stupid employed (handed out free scholarships and cant put a sentence together), where will all the druggies, rapists and criminals go? there's only so many McDonalds and Sizzlers to go around.

It is boring as fuck, but in one hour I go to my friends bar to watch France v Uruguay and I will be 3 quarters shit faced by the end of the match. These eurofags do generally use it as an opportunity to get blotto, Ill give them that. And if France wins the frogs I am with will get blackout drunk.

They gayest part of football, all the pretending to be hurt in order to draw penalties. You'll never see more grown men fall down on purpose and act like they just got their knees blown out than during any given soccer match. And these eurotrash eat that shit up. Esp if it works. If they manage to draw a penalty based on their drama class faggotry... oh the joy.

yup the sooner the referees stamp diving out of football is the day italy never wins another match.

Please leave NASCAR outta this :winkwink:

And Baseball. The endless statistic to keep the viewers occupied between a run being scored. A guy throws a ball another guy swings a bat, happens 4-5 times and then a guy walks. Waiting for a home run is about as exciting as watching paint dry.

Football can be nail biting without anyone scoring, near misses, great saves and defenders getting the better of attackers is better than a one sided game with 4-5 goals sometimes.

100 dudes who love Soccer

Soccer is even boring to complain about. Baseball is probably worse than soccer. Basketball is nothing but a bunch of acting for fouls. Football is going to shit because the referee can change an entire game with one call (seems to be at least 3 games a year now that are false wins), and Tom Brady can make up whatever rules he wants.

Overall most sports are boring these days...

Yup. Thread attained full role reversal about halfway down the first page. :D

Unlike in North America where its too much to expect drivers to know how to use a cluth. 3 pedals is too confusing.... I had a chauffeur

imo baseball is boring to watch too. I prefer to watch hockey or Football.

+1 for soccer is boring

I find soccer as boring as Europeans find baseball...

to me, soccer would be more exciting if there were landmines on the field or something...

I must also say, I'm actually a bit of a fan of soccer hooligans...they crack me up...

Hey Jimmy, you never got back to me on this one. What makes complicated sports "better" than simple ones? I am at a loss.

You said:

I pointed out that it's pretty fucking simple to understand.

Darling, I think a lady used to luxury like you would like.

In America our cars shift themselves!

Kidding me? Have you seen Terel Owens fake it?
Drogba is playing with broken hand in this tournament.

Hockey is right on the money. Football has way too many breaks.

Ahh good old Jimmy, the moment he comes under any sort of pressure, out come the swear words and negative insults.

You have a hard time structuring an argument don't you mate? Intelligent discussion is not really your thing i've gathered.

damn you nailed it with this thread, if i followed sports at all id known this soccer shit was going on, i had no clue.

lots of views = 3 pager = wins

In Soviet Russia girls will just throw it in reverse when they hear you speak hehehe

Are you dull? I swear in every post I make:

to be honest, I LOVED football, now I only follow World Cup and maybe some finals, it's quite boring for me nowadays (although I love to play it). But seriously, comparing football to "girly-rugby" or baseball in terms of boredom.... come on, there's nothing more boring that baseball ( I swear people dies of boredom) and "rugby for pansy girls in armor" is very close to it: run 10 foot. stop. group hug. change the entire team. run another 10 foot. stop. group hug. change the entire team. run another 10 foot (wait, now they're going the opposite direction!). stop. group hug. change the entire team.............................................. ....... eventually some one will show amazing skills as in.... putting a ball on the floor. Yipee... :sleep:sleep:sleep

Basketball FTW!!!! :thumbsup

Regarding the ones I've SEEN playing (I'm 24yo), I'd say:
- Zidane
- Ronaldo

And in the end France V Uruguay ends 0-0. Fucking gay. But at least i am drunk.

Here's my thoughts...whether it's soccer, golf, tennis, baseball, football, even hockey or curling - when it's a major event in the sport and it's the "best of the best" playing, it's ALWAYS interesting. Some more than others of course, but as much as I can't really stand to watch soccer normally, having watched some of the World Cup last time, I'll be watching a lot more of it this time because I did find it entertaining.

I had no idea who Messi was last time and whenever he was playing he was fucking EVERYWHERE on the field and doing all sorts of rad plays and I was going "damn, this dude fucking rocks". Come to find out he's regarded as one of if not THE best player in the world. So if anything I'll make sure to watch the games he's in.

Same with golf...I watch it mainly to watch Phil Mickelson, end of story...I could care less about most of the rest, even Tiger Woods most of the time bores me, but I love watching the major events and even some of the minor events because Phil is always entertaining to watch because he plays it like the rest of us would play it on a video game. Barely any space between a couple trees in your way? Fucking try to hit through them anyways and somehow slice it towards the hole, why not?

Bottom line, there's entertainment in ANY sport if you look hard enough.
