So Germany's best player heading into the World Cup just got injured. Honestly looking more forward to start of Bundesliga now than WC.

if a person had a lifelong investment and intimate understanding of the sport it might make their overlooking the biggest event in that sport a bit more reasonable.

Guys I thought of another reason why soccer is kinda lame. Exhibitions in the middle of the season just for the heck of it. I mean, what's the deal with that?

nobody does exhibitions in the middle of the season though.  there's no real continuity for national teams - this is basically the preseason to "world cup" in the short term.  most of the big leagues just finished their seasons a little while back

What about when SKC plays Manchester in July

I think it would be pretty cool if the Royals would just pack up and play in some tournament overseas most Augusts. At least they wouldn't be mathematically eliminated from winning something.

All soccer arguments end the same way: Point out the ineptitude of the Royals.

The amount of soccer fans worldwide who give two shits about the sorry as Royals couldn't fill the short bus they should ride on.

not fishing, that song is awful.  and so is this one:  "we are the [insert team] the mighty mighty [insert team].   just awful.  you can always hear those sung during mls games.  embarrassing.

the fact that there are a lot of pseudo intellectual poser soccer fan dorks in the US right now doesn't make soccer bad or anything and pointing it out shouldn't be causing the massive amount of butthurt currently being displayed in this thread. if you like soccer, great. sports are fun.

yes, soccer is very fun to play.

yes, american soccer fans like the one's described in the article (shots fired at sunny and scott) are quite annoying.

glad we all could agree on that  :cheers:

Yep. When in doubt beat down the Royals. The Royals have so much to do with soccer.

I especially like when people who don't care about soccer make it a point to go out of their way to let everyone and their mother know that they don't care about soccer.

i don't see anybody here doing that, but that does sound kind of funny.  :thumbs:

I am doing that.

how fans of one thing could annoy non-fans of that one thing is bewildering to me.
