Soccer is a fag pussy sport.
Who fucking cares if we win or lose.
Is it September yet?
Yeah, but it's the worlds most popular sport and your just ignorant and feel this way because you don't understand it through your American-centric world view. And you're not very enlightened. Probably you're against free healthcare and retiring at 50 too.
Cowherd had a good line today when people kept telling him it's the most popular sport. Rice is the most popular food in the world, but I'd still take kobe beef any day of the week. It's popular because it's accessible and a team from the Ivory Coast or Ghana doesn't need expensive equipment to play it.
Bullshit. People in other countries have plenty of alternatives. They choose soccer, err, football because they prefer it.
for most kids, the cost of a football helmet exceeds their annual food budget.
That's because you don't need a helmet to play rugby. No one gives a fuck about American football outside of the US, whether they can afford it or not. Sorry. I think that may be the source of your jealousy.
Soccer is simply the sport Americans choose to fail at. Until the USA gets management to tell FIFA to fuck off, run it and fund it like winners, we will continue to lose... and soccer will remain a minor league sport in the US
Money has nothing to do with it. America is behind because it fails at scouting and developing talent. We send our best players to 4 years of college kick ball, while the rest of the world has players signing pro contracts at age 16. HTH.
Hello there. It's hard to scout and develop talent when your most talented athletes choose to play better sports.
Hope this helps.
Talent for football/basketball =/= talent for soccer
Not even close. The best soccer players in the world are 5'7".
Keep pretending you know what you're talking about, though. It's good for a laugh.
Have you ever heard of bing? I have. Germany is ranked #2 in the world, did you know that? I didn't. Did you know everybody on their roster is 6' to 6'6" ... with most being 6'2-6'4" ... with only two exceptions?
Bing sure did blow your fucking theory out of the water.
Have you been doing bath salts?
I can think of four off the top of my head (Ozil, Gotze, Lahm, Reus) that are all below 6 ft. Germany is a big squad, though that's a fair point. Now go look at Spain (defending champs). Almost every good player they have is around 5'7" or so.
Rather than dig yourself deeper into your heaping pile of shit, next time just say, "No, I've never heard of Bing and choose to rely on my memory so when I get caught saying stupid shit I can bullshit my way through it without facts rather than discuss central issues in the thread."
Oh and, you want more proof? US kids who are 6'2" and under with choices abandon soccer for Lacrosse in droves ... why do you suppose that is?
