Post something nice about soccer.

[-..__...]

It's more exciting than watching professional bass fishing.

1. Countries stop wars because the World Cup is on TV!

I dont know of another sport that can claim that!

[-..__...]

2. Yeah, but then they just move the violence from the battlefield...

to the soccer field.

[hatredisnotavalue]

11. ..okay...what is your point?

[-..__...]

13. Soccer riots, soccer hooligans...

the game seems to attract or inspire more violence related incidents than any other sport.
The fans and admirers refer to it as "passion" for the sport.

[ghostsofgiants]

14. And that's so comparable to bombing the shit out of a country.

:eyes:

[-..__...]

18. You realize I'm being a bit sarcastic.

So, some countries, tribal factions, ethnic groups, etc stop killing each other for a few days.

They do this to either participate in or watch a game where there's usually a good chance that some minor eruption of violence will occur either inside or outside the stadium. On occasions, that same behavior has or could take place involving other sports, but not nearly with the same frequency as occurs in soccer.

Come tommorrow they'll just pick-up where they left off and the bombing can continue.

20. Amazing how text based sarcasm misses its mark sometimes, isn't it?

I don't disagree, but I did miss the sarcasm and thought it was ludicrous to compare a soccer riot to a war.

[-..__...]

24. Too bad that the warring factions...

couldn't settle their differences with the outcome of a soccer game.

3. Let's stop all these anti-soccer threads.

They don't like soccer.

The rest of the world
and many Americans disagree.

OK- Let's move on.

[ZombieNixon]

4. I find it a damn sight more exciting that

most sport we usually watch on TV here in the States.

[Placebo]

5. The players are hot.

In that euro/metrosexual kind of way. :)

[Shine]

15. LOL! Hey, that's what I was gonna say!

[bigwillq]

23. That is my choice too!

:evilgrin: :hi:

[Placebo]

29. Check it...

25. Oh BS

They're lean, strong, smart, and STUDLY!

(Unlike the cavemen who pass for athletes here)

[Xipe Totec]

6. Der Ball ist rund

"Der Ball ist rund, und das Spiel dauert neunzig Minuten. So viel ist schon mal klar. Alles andere ist Theorie."

(The ball is round, a game lasts 90 minutes. That's for sure. The rest is just theory).

- Sepp Herberger, German national soccer team coach

(Quoted in Run, Lola Run)

[ornotna]

7. Requires great skill, patience and stamina

And that's just to be a fan.

[Karenina]

8. HALLO!!!

:yourock:

[Ekirh]

9. I once lost 17 pounds

Playing Soccer my senior year of high school. . . so if anything.. it got me into shape. Well not really . . but I was close damn it!!!! :)

[HuckleB]

10. If you travel to South America or Europe...

attending a soccer match is one of the most exciting things you can do while there.

[CrownPrinceBandar]

12. I played youth soccer as a child......

and it taught me a lot about teamwork.

[jobycom]

16. It's better than any sport played on ice or an arena, 'cept basketball

I rather like it, actually. I'd watch NFL football or MLB baseball before it, but I'd rather watch my niece play high school soccer than most college football games, any hockey game (no offense to hockey fans, I just never learned to like it), or most other lesser sports. Soccer ties with the NBA, or rather I should say it depends on the NBA game and the soccer game.

So there. And I liked The Postman, too. Deal with it. (I said liked,not loved).

[texanwitch]

17. Soccer is a sport that little girls can play.

:applause:

[Sanity Claws]

19. Soccer balls are pretty.

[LeftyMom]

21. It wastes less space than golf.

:D

[The Wielding Truth]

22. It lets the RW know that people in other countries have lives and sports

like the USA, and it's not terrorist driven. Other countries can exist and have fun without them. Who'd of thunk it????

[skygazer]

26. It's excellent exercise

[xmas74]

27. An exboyfriend once got his ass kicked at a soccer game.

He even lost a tooth.

Someday I'd like to meet the offenders and shake their hands.

[Redneck Socialist]

28. No it isn't. You take that back!

Hey, I like to fish. What can I say...:shrug:

Something nice hunh? Well, someone posted some pictures of good looking women at a soccer game last week. Is that nice enough?

[liberaltrucker]

30. The WC is FINALLY over

About as nice as I can get

:hide:

[Deja Q]

31. I like it when the men who kick really high show us their underwear...

Or lack thereof, teehehehehe...

[JVS]

32. It has not yet been clinically proven to cause cancer

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

33. It beats a kick in the balls.

...oh, wait a sec.... :rofl:
