World Cup

[Scooter]

I am trying to get with the program here. I know its a big deal, but I still don't get socer. Yesterday Mexico lost. But today I read that they won.

Thats right, this is a game where even if you lose, you win. Apparently with ties, one goes over statistics, and determines who is the better team.

Omigod. You lose--but you really win. This sounds like a game, the rules of which, were drafted by the French, the cheese eating surrender specialists. What other game do you lose, but actually win.

Can you imagine the NBA being played by socer rules. Miamai and Dallas tie. Now we go back over statistics and determine who is the better team.

Now I know why there are socer houligans--they are all fed up with pent up frustration over a game whose rules make no sense.

:clap1: :clap1: :clap1: :clap1: Couldn't agree more Scooter. I'm married to a former soccer mom who also coached it for a couple years - I won't even BEGIN to dicuss it with her. Silly game imho. Give me American Football

I have two nephews that got college scholarships for soccer, and my daughter has a professional soccer player boyfriend..i my self coached YMCA soccer to toddlers....what a game...i couldn't even tell you how many people are on a team..really, i haven't a clue. :scratch:

It's a really quite simple. each team totals up their shoe sizes and divide that by three minus the goals scored by the Ethiopians. The result of that is usually one less than the Italians scored in total over the last three years combined. The Italians win the cup since they really don't understand the game either and could care even less. :goodluck: :tup2: :D

In the recent tie that England and Sweden drew, Sweden had 12 on their team whereas England had 11. Sven Goran Erikson was the twelfth Swede.
Quite how you can claim the beautiful game to be inferior simply because the teams take the field with only a quarter of the mob handed game you ridiculously claim to be "football" when the ball is only kicked after it has spent 3 hours being passed from hand to hand, and the game clock is constantly stopped for reasons as varied as beer commercials and stapled nipples :scratch:

[Steven Hauser]

:clap2: ..and your point????

:D

[flatfloor]

You count stapled nipples as points? I thought I forgot something. :shake:

[Davestone]

Well,where does all the fighting come in..is that part of the homefield advantage..and what about kicking the umpires,or referees,or cops, or whatevr they're called,how many points is that? :yeah:

[Scooter]

Yeah, Jeremey--

But there are winners--real, honest to goodness winners. I mean at the end of the game, one team has a higher score.

You need to spend some time here--American like winners. Americans like scoring and like to score. We detest losers and ties. It sorta like taking a shower with your sister.

The reason socer games (is it a game or a match?) don't have commercials is (a) No one cares here, so they can't sell air time; (b) You can get a beer or staple your nipple, and not miss a thing. You try that in American Football, and you are likely to miss a score.

Rugby is a real game. Could never get to understand American football either. The fun should start when the ball goes down. In stead they stop the game so's everybody could untangle their bootstraps and shoulder pads.

Now THERE's a game for sissies!

Gimme rugby any day!
