I set up a last minute haircut today; as I drove over, I was thinking... my barber is an Uzbeki immigrant, are they playing now? If so, will he be watching and distracted? Sure enough, they were playing... Portugal. I walked in and it was 4-0 Portugal. Now I'm worried he's going to rage-cut my hair. But, he took it in stride. He said it was their first Cup and they only made it because of the extended teams. He was hoping they'd score a goal, but mostly he was just happy they were playing. Quote

It's crazy the kind of thoughts people can have based entirely on what they've heard or read as opposed to what they've experienced. And it's enlightening how quickly people change their tunes once they're exposed to reality. Could there be a lesson in here somewhere? 100%!!! Let's hope the message resonates. Quote

Sounds like a native American as nobody else is likely to be such a delicate flower. This puss needs a beating. Some real adversity would be good for him so as to recalibrate his distress meter.

Alias Detective Posted June 24 Posted June 24 The way these fockers heal is amazing. Writhing around in pain, holding every appendage and when a ref doesn’t blow a whistle they immediately get healed an continue in the play. Lebron style on steroids. Trrrible. Quote
cyclone24 Posted June 24 Posted June 24 Oh hey, guys are actually just for our liberals here. Trump is apparently going to hand out the FIFA trophy at the final. I don’t know what the date is but just so you could fill that in your calendar that can be your daily Trump outrage. Hope that helps. You’re welcome. I love you. Quote

I turned on some random match and within 90 seconds they had two guys fall down clutching their shins like they were going to lose their legs. Turned that shìt right off. I was impressed with the speed of those guys for the 30 seconds they were playing though. I guess what I don't get is if every other play someone's shin is getting kicked off, why not just invent better shin guards? Quote

Soccer doesn’t want to be popular in USA or they would address it As a casual, I don’t even mind that. What I hate is the marching down the field, they take a look around, kick it back out and then kick it all the way back down to their own goalkeeper and start the whole process again. Also, another thing I noticed on throw ins from out of bounds the team that has the ball almost always throws it, and they lose possession only for the other team to kick it back to them and lose possession. It’s almost like an out of bounds turnover in basketball and as soon as they catch it, they throw it right to the team that was taking it out of bounds. great event… i’m not going to lie. I’ve enjoyed this I think watching a Super Bowl. The passion and enjoyment people from other countries are having is hard not to be happy for them. It’s pretty cool. Quote
jerryskids Posted June 26 Posted June 26 Where are the soccer peeps? No chatter during the US vs Tur-kee-yay game? It was entertaining. Yeah we lost in the last seconds, but the game meant nothing, and maybe Turkey won't kill the entire team because of it, so that's good I guess. Next up: Elimination round, US vs. Bosnia and Herzegovina on Wed, 7/1. Quote
