If you are referring to me being a bandwagon fan check your facts Blonde. Spurs are 17th place and were in a position to be relegated when I became a fan. But they are a solid fucking team and are actually the best in the Premiership, which I guess does make me a bandwagon fan afterall! Nevermind.

If you were a really fan of European soccer before you even moved over there, then I don't even need to make fun of you. Thats a lose/lose situation on your part.

I always thought that being at the top is better? I think what you mean is 'Spurs should be around 8th but are having a shitty season'
Granted they have one of the best youth squads.

Soccer is probably my 2nd favorite sport behind American Football, and I don't see why you'd make fun of someone for that? English Football is the best, most competitive, most followed athletic system in the world. English football league system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The list at the bottom of that article is a list of leagues!. The system runs so much deeper than you would have imagined.

The Premiership is the creme de la crem de la crem of Football: One thing I've noticed about English Football: people just enjoy it. They love their team, they love the sport, they love watching it. They don't need cutsie add-ons like fantasy football, half time shows, Superbowl commercials, home run records, "curses," etc.

Americans try really hard to like sports. The English just naturally love Football!

Because it really is a good sport.

100% hilarious and also 100% true.

THEINCREDIBLEdork · 12-07-2008, 11:54 AM

soccer is so boring. You'd have to have the intelligence of a dog to enjoy watching a ball go back and forth for 3 hours.

DJ FC · 12-07-2008, 12:15 PM

It's just a purer sport. Sorry you need things like double dribble, 2 point conversions, balks, high sticking, 3 point lines, safeties, goaltending, network commercial timeouts, etc. to keep your attention.

Once you get used to the flow and the pace of the game, you really appreciate that it lacks all the gay shit that the American sports have muddling the competition.

Shaw, you of all people (and Beebs too); I'd expect you to appreciate Soccer. You love sports, no?

THEINCREDIBLEdork · 12-07-2008, 12:25 PM

aaaahhh yes, nothing is more "pure" than pretending you can't use your hands. (10)

You should start watching rugby, its much better than soccer.

Heaven Can Wait · 12-07-2008, 12:46 PM

Ok.. so american sports
Baseball? that doesn't compare, its boring, everyone stands around 90% of the time.
Basketball? I love basketball, wish it was bigger here.
American Football? Copy of rugby, too complex.

ID, what football match lasts 3 hours? its 45 minutes a half.

DJ FC · 12-07-2008, 03:22 PM

Rugby is cool too. I like all the "get the ball to the other side of the field" sports...

I love my sports, yes, but I hate soccer. Now if it is between 2 countries that I'm passionate about ie. USA vs. anyone, then I will watch.

How can a sport that is so "pure," be filled with such whiny ass babies that fall down when touched and then fake an injury. Not to mention, the ball is so small and the goal so big, why are the scores 1-nil. If you could fight in soccer, it would make it less irritable.

+1

When I played rugby in college, I learned a lot of drinking songs I forgot about, but I remembered one thing they always said..."Soccer is a gentlemen's sport played by ruffians....while rugby is a ruffians sport played by gentlemen". Also it is common practice to get drunk with your opponent after the game with the winning party buying the keg. Any sport that encourages that I am a fan of.

Heaven Can Wait · 12-07-2008, 08:54 PM

But Rugby involves rules, the great thing about football is that all you really need is a ball, its not an elitist sport unlike Rugby/Golf/whatever which is why the most athletic people play football, if you had a choice of being a professional at rugby or football, its a no brainer.
For the drink thing Blonde, heard of sunday leagues? Probably not, because the staple of a sunday league game involves getting drunk afterwards.
And yeah Shaw, injury faking sucks and the FA need to bring in 2 more ref's at each end of the pitch to judge whats a penalty and such, but I don't think it needs to be Americanized with replays and shit, that would ruin the flow too much.
And scores are low because the players are very good at canceling each other out, watch what happens when a top premiership team field their first team vs some shitty club, it rarely happens but when it does its a slaughter.
