After the penalty ours said that Bill Clinton, Mick Jagger and other Americans must be really happy now.Brendocon wrote:Did the idiot ITV commentator just say "Bye bye, big American sigh"? ****.
The upside of European teams playing each other is that it guarantees some of them reaching quarter-finals.

Didn't something like that happen in English league several years back? I remember hearing that a team was awarded a penalty, but one of its players thought it shouldn't haven been given and he made a weak shot from the penalty on purpose, goalkeeper deflected it, but then some other guy scored from a rebound.

I'm not a fan of soccer. Not my cup of tea. But this kind of hypocritical ******** I can't stand:
http://msn.foxsports.com/other/story/Wo ... US-TV-fans
Anytime the US doesn't top the world in something, it's labelled "boring" or a "waste of time".
Trying to "shove it down our throats?" Give me a ******* break. NBA and NFL, that's what's shoved down our throats.
Can any sport be as mindnumbingly boring as baseball? You don't see this guy speaking out against that, do you?
I guarantee you if the US won the World Cup, this Lowry asshole would be tooting a different horn.

"But the Costa story featuring Starscream? Fantastic! This guy is "The One", I just know it, just from these few pages. "--Yaya, who is never wrong.

I hope Ghana goes ahead on Uruguay (Uruguay just equalized as I write this), but regardless, the idea that Ghana, Uruguay, or the Dutch will most definitely be in the final is quite exciting. And as long as someone that's NOT Germany gets in on the other side of the bracket, I'll be quite pleased there as well.

The last couple minutes of Uruguay-Ghana were heartbreaking!
That penalty that Ghana lost before the penalty round was incredible.
Uruguay won at the end.
But somehow I wanted them both to pass, Ghana played pretty well and Im sad for them

did you actually read the whole article? or just skimmed it for key points? Because he stated that he understood the love of it.. but is mostly tired of the bandwagon fans who suddenly know EVERYTHING about the sport.Yaya wrote:I'm not a fan of soccer. Not my cup of tea.

Ill give you a perfect example. I LOVE hockey.. but it should NEVER have a professional team south of the Mason-Dixon line. Now we have minor league teams all over the nation with people who are suddenly experts on hockey, but really only watch it to see if a fight breaks out. And lets face it, minor league hockey is nothing more than a bar fight on skates.
