Goddamnit -

I was hoping USA would lose so I'd stop being exposed to all the "WHY DON'T YOU LIKE OUR WONDERFUL LITTLE GAME!?!" crap.

Please go away. I don't like your sport. Leave me alone about it. I fail to feel guilt for not liking it. It provides nothing that we don't already have here.

Lighten up man!

Go with your rant against all your fellow countrymen in South Africa as USA is the country with more fans there.

Easy, I will go 'away' now , and congrats on passing to the next round wink

Man! and another botched ref call that cost USA a goal early in the match. That was a squeaker! USA and England advance to the top 16 tied in Group C.

This American doesn't like soccer, football, baseball, hockey, cricket, basketball, polo, or la crosse. I'm sure there's others, I just can't think of them right now.

Any of you guys watching Wimbledon right now?
Two guys (Mahut vs Isner) have been playing for nine and a half hours, it is already the longest match ever!
Score is 54-55 right now, crazy stuff.

Who said I like sailing? grin

I miss motocross, I'd like to get into supermoto. While not really a sport in the traditional sense, I took a ride in a glider the other day and I could really get into that. Trouble is good sailing days, are also good soaring days... I used to enjoy playing golf. I almost bought another snowboard this winter. Shooting stuff.... I like lots of sports, just not the "normal" ones.

Regardless, I'm starting to see what we're doing wrong - you need to watch a soccer match with a group of people. Unlike American football, there is much more time for socializing (or shooting each other) and then for that one moment that something dramatic happens, you all share it and go haywire for a few minutes.

So...why do the English hate Football?

Ha ha ha. Sorry about that "goal" guys...

See, not only is it boring to watch, it's so poorly officiated as to make it more of a joke than a real sporting contest. And you wonder why Americans don't watch? If the officials can't even get a simple call like that goal or offsides correct, what's the point? Might as well go to Vegas and throw dice.

FIFA needs to step into the 21st century or nobody will take this game seriously, ever!
