Why are so many people going bonkers over the World Cup?  Between soccer and hockey, I can't decide which one I like less.

I feel the same way about the super bowl(a bunch of turf fairies..all that ass slapping and grabbing)...I'd rather have my gums scraped than watch that...and it's every damn year.

Yeah, really.  I mean who gives a shit about the World Cup when we got American football.  A game in which the average time the ball is in play is 11 minutes out of the whole 60 per game...

Oh, is that what they call it, "the ball is in play" when a bunch of guys are running up and down the field playing kickball? Scoring is so rare that when they do finally do score, they act like they've discovered the cure for cancer?  Or when someone bumps into a guy accidentally, the bumpee goes down and acts like he's been shot? Yeah, lots of excitement there!!

Yeah, I guess soccer would be a high scoring game too if the team give themselves 6 points every time they get the ball across the goal line and then get another chance to tag on another point just for crossing the goal line.  Oh, and you are so right on on that celebratory thing (cough, Chad Johnson, cough).

I'm with you Swim, but to each his own.

World Cup comes every FOUR years. It is all some countries have to cheer about.



GO ARGENTINA!!!!!!!!YEEEHAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



FEAR THE TURTLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It gives the fans a chance to blow their own trumpet!!!

hockey, i can definitely live without...

Soccer is a real contact sport, unlike football... They have NO padding, only shin guards, they break bones too. My whole family, being persian/asian, is a soccer family. I've seen my fair share of injuries.

It is a beautiful game of strategy, endurance, and creativity.
