BlakChamber 8 Report post Posted December 24, 2006 English Premire League. You know, soccer. The sport played by either effeminate Europeans or third world countries too poor to afford a real sport. I believe the point of the game is to jog around for 90 minutes, then if you get tired, fake an injury. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Only time I ever watch soccer is during the world cup. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Happy Pancake 6 Report post Posted December 27, 2006 Go Chelsea. I'm wearing my Drogba jersey right now. I was disappointed with the Reading tie today. West Ham's shocker gave them a chance to really crowd Man U's rear view mirror and they let it slip further away. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jwo 7 Report post Posted December 27, 2006 (edited) English Premire League. You know, Football. The sport played by every country that has it as a real sport. I believe the point of the game is to run on a field for 90 minutes trying to score goals and defend from getting scored on, then if you get tired, your substituted off.

betterREDthandead 58 Report post Posted December 28, 2006 Soccer is entertaining for all the wacky s*** that goes on in those European leagues. A Romanian team made its players take lie detector tests following a two-game losing streak to make sure they weren't throwing matches. (Not a bad idea for the Lions.) One stadium has a moat between the field and the stands so fans don't run onto it. The fans decided to throw port-a-potties into the moat and then light them on fire. Two German dudes were arrested at the World Cup for filling soccer balls with concrete and leaving them out in the streets with signs on them that said "can U kick this?" I think soccer would be terrifically entertaining if it weren't for all the pansy-ass injury faking that goes on. I think if the trainer has to come out and see you, you sit for 15 minutes - you must need the rest. And if the stretcher comes out, you're done. I hate seeing some whiny little ***** get tapped on the back of the foot and go down screaming like he wandered into machine-gun fire, only to pop back up and play when he realizes he's not earning his opponent a yellow card. I think all it would take for me to actually get into soccer (besides the World Cup every four years) is an MLS team in Detroit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CopenhagenWing 38 Report post Posted December 28, 2006 I think soccer would be terrifically entertaining if it weren't for all the pansy-ass injury faking that goes on. And most football fans would agree with this. There are too many instances of diving in the sport these days. Referees have been instructed to penalize players for diving but that happens as often as in hockey. However, football players only have a pair of shinguards as protection as you well know. And most of them do play a full 90 minute game without timeouts and stoppages in play every 2 seconds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Get the Fox Soccer Channel and watch real soccer leagues. That'll help get you more interested. And WTF to those German fans. That's so evil! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But funny Anyway, even if I did watch more soccer, I couldn't really get into it properly without a team to root for, and I'd find it hard to attach myself to a particular overseas team. I mean, it's all pretty much the same to me. World Cup is different, because that's such an event, and of course there's an American team to root for, and I have teams to root against as well (Brazil, Italy, Mexico).

Jwo 7 Report post Posted December 31, 2006 (edited) oh man that sucked yesterday for Chelsea. As for how i picked a team, I watched some Italian and some English teams. Didt like the Italian style of playing so i watched more of the English teams and a certain team caught my eye and it was Arsenal. They moved the ball the like Red Wings move the puck. They scored goals like the Red Wings scored goals with the bang bang play. So are started rooting for them. Teams i hate with a passion and root against are Manchester United, Tottenham, Chelsea and the many other teams in London. and its fun watching the Champions League as to see my team competting against the other European clubs across Europe.
