Why I love the World Cup

[f3lix]

Until this year, I paid no attention to the World Cup. But this year and being in Vegas, I have come to see how crazy the World Cup is and how it not only unites countries, but the whole world. I really like this for the sake of humanity. This is a picture from South Korea where it looks like New Year's Eve in Rockefeller Square.

If they would actually enforce the rules against diving like homos every 5 seconds, possibly even increase the penalty to instantly being sent off, it would be much more watchable.

Are you fucking serious!? a thread about Soccer? the absolute gayest "sport" ever?????? now hear me out on this one see the reason I hate soccer is because it's like 90 min of no one doing anything except cheating every few seconds, and do you know why they cheat so often? well you see it's because the game is so fucking stupid that it's about the only way you can score a goddamned point. too see a game where some one actually scores 3 fucking points in the entire game is fucking rare, and games ending in a tie are common place. Now that's fucking gay.

Hears a little fact for you, the reason that America doesn't have a good soccer team is because we're not a third world country and we actualy have real sports with real athletes who aren't malnourished

The World Cup is the best event known to this planet. More than 150 million people watched the opening game between Germany and Costa Rica. No event captures the world's attention like the World Cup. And why not? Patriotism is at an all time high as everyone cheers for their own and other countries. You can watch European powerhouses get beat by miniscule African nations, and see some of the best players in the world, some just starting their careers, others trying to go out on top.

What makes soccer the best sport on Earth is that it can be very complex, but its requirements are so simplistic. For soccer, all you need is some people and a ball, no matter how makeshift. It's accessible to everyone in every country. In most countries, soccer is all they've got, or at least all they care for.

One thing is for sure, whoever wins the World Cup is actually the world champion, unlike our crappy American sports, where they just say they are.

oh, and for good measure, baseball sucks.

Baseball sucks cock because it's the slowest game ever.

150 million people are stupid twat zeppelins.

[Orgazmo]

There are a lot more than 150 million twat zeppelins in the world. That doesn't change the glory of the world cup, though.

god bless the world cup, and god bless you , gaz... god bless you.

This is FC.

I have never appreciated "Football" until I've lived in England.

And I can say, with all honesty, It's almost as good as American Football.

The only difference is this: the atmosphere is way better... when an entire nation is playing another and you are in a pub cheering on INGERLAND it gets fucking euphoric. Wow what a rush. The only thing that could be better is if we could somehow convince the rest of the world that Football really is better than Soccer, and for once we aren't being stubborn Americans about it.
