Soccer Sucks

What are you laughing at?

Soccer Sucks

I just might waste the whole afternoon here.

Soccer is absurdly slow. I've had soccer apologists say with false pride how the average soccer participant "runs" 4 miles in a game. Newsflash: that means they are jogging less than 3 miles per hour. Translation: they are mostly standing around.

Penalty kicks. You are determining a winner by a random event that has no relevance to the rest of the game. It would be as stupid as replacing extra innings with batting practice.

The correct term for 0 is zero, not nil. Take a math class.

France is successful at participating at soccer. That should say something, especially to the British.

The "World" Cup is not the a World's Cup, but a competition among 32 countries, disproportionately allotted to European countries. (Although in fairness, the World Series is played among teams from two countries)

;D

Having served football teams breakfast/lunch/dinner (ranging from Stoke up to Liverpool) I can confidently say: They really do suck!  ;D

How is football (Yes because you play it only with your feet exclusively, not with both your hands) boring? Yesterday I was shaking for 90 minutes over Portugal-Germany! When the game ended I felt like I ran for miles! And I'm not a big fan of football!

Well, if this is so, I can also say that baseball is boring as heck!  ;D Oh and lets not forget the only left-hand turns races of NASCAR...

Soccer is boring compared to other sports and variations,soccer is essentialy just running and try and keep the ball away from the others,sports like gealic football involve tons of other things;for example:

You can kick up the ball into your hand or catch BUT,you can't hold the ball for more then 4 steps,otherwise you have to bounce it,throw it up and catch it or solo it while running in turn,so you can't solo twice in a row.
Another thing is passing;in soccer you can only kick it so its hard for other to intercept it because they can't catch the ball,in gealic football you need to either kick it or do a handpass,throws are not allowed.

Hurling is even more complicated,and it has big hard sticks(did I just say that?) that can hurt you. ;D

You may have run for miles, but the Portugese were skipping, tripping and sliding over invisible objects for 90 minutes  ;) ;D

The correct term for math is maths or Arithmetic, not math. Take an English class. :P

Math being an abreviation for mathematic. I say math, you say maths, your abreviating the plural form. Mathematics.

Crew is definitely my favorite sport. The only sport I'm aware of that you actually look back at the loosers. Too bad my boat isn't the best so there's no one behind us most of the time :-[

Soccer is for people who would lose a battle of wits with a glass of water!
The average footballer is a single digit IQ'd thickie paid stupid amounts of money to kick a piece of re-processed cow up and down a field!
As you can tell I'm not a fan... and I'm sick of all the talk of it at work already ::)

You do know Mark that Soccer Players are like Einstein compared to NZ Rugby players.

Rugby players can't even talk properly because they hit their heads to many times playing that stupid game.
