Own goal? More like the Netherlands are gonna get OWNED goal, amirite
Look, Brazil is going to crush those Dutch ppl. If you don't agree with me, you're a complete dumbass. Don't be a dumbass, dumbasses.
If it were up to me, Wintz would be on a fan scholarship, full ride.
Does ESPN know that the USA Dream Team is not playing in this thing anymore? Why are they still talking about it, showing games, etc? I want to watch sportscenter.

I understand the defensive nature of soccer fans, and I understand that you want to believe this is true, but it just isn't.

I understand the defensive nature of soccer fans, and I understand that you want to believe this is true, but it just isn't.actually, he is, and i'm not even on his side. if people weren't still watching it espn wouldn't be showing it. the hispanic market alone gives them tons of viewers. the argument "but it's the most popular sport in the universe" that soccer fans always make is stupid though. just because lots of people watch it doesn't make it a great sport. a lot of these countries just don't have the money to play anything else. when the games are this big i can get into some just because i love sports drama, and its a beautiful game with some great athletes, but don't tell me it's amazing just because of sheer numbers.

you can play soccer with piece of trash laying around. bball has to have a bouncy ball. The rest of the world is poor. that's why soccer is king. It's a poor trash sport.

And a minimum of a few grand and a bad gambling habit to be a player in horse racing. Hoops? Just a ball that you stole, and a rim. Football? Just a ball that you stole, and that's it. Soccer? Ditto. Hockey? It's a little more elite, see above (e.g. baseball).
not everyone in the world has access to cliffs to dive off of.

They use fracking balls of trash and wooden sticks, tard.

Quote from: Benja on July 02, 2010, 06:10:25 PMa lot of these countries just don't have the money to play anything else.where i live, there are 3 fully functional outdoor bball courts scattered around town. never seen anyone play bball on any of the courts, ever. pretty much every afternoon wo rain kids are on the courts playing soccer.
in all seriousness, i actually like playing soccer and can see why people do. it just isn't a very good tv sport. it's like golf in that respect for me.that said, i'm still watchin the cup
