World Cup

Anyone following the games?

I find it crazy on how the USA scored the last goal with like a minute left.
Also poor sportsmanship by that one Brazilian Soccer player for faking an injury.

I dont think i'll be able to watch the Finals since im going out of town

A game in any FIFA without a dive is as difficult as not masturbating at least once a week.

It's not really football though, they're allowed to use their hands once a match i believe.

Did it really have to be 2:41 of video, for like, 2 seconds of holding the ball? Though I do wonder how the ref missed that, kinda stupid.

This seemed to be the only vid around that allowed embedding xD And yeah, no clue how the ref missed that... neither do i have a clue why the hell that player picked up the ball like that.

Watching any type of soccer is difficult, regardless of who is playing.

Fail sport is fail.

i dont find women's football exciting at all, it is much slower and of lower quality, but it is still better to watch that than gridiron.

I agree that they suck, but none of us here can play better, or as well as they do.

Damn that's a blind ref. It looked like the girl that held the ball was waiting for the yellow card and penalty to be given.

Hope solo is pretty hot. Other than that soccer is pretty boring to watch.

After seeing a few of last years world cup, and the falls and shit. Nothing will ever make me a Soccer fan. At least the NFL doesn't do stupid shit like faking injury.

Will be watching USA v France tomorrow. Was a damn good game against Brazil, but terrible officiating.

americans watch basketball and football then when they go on strike about pay they decide to watch some european football... because theyre "womens" team is so lucky atm they are suddenly huge fans?!

americans ready to admit that soccer is much better then any american sport?

(ps. im a hippocrit, im british and i play ice hockey and basketball, i heavily follow baseball and a lot of american football... oh and i HATE soccer =) )

She didnt, i watched the replay and the ref was looking right at her...just didnt do anything.

ALSO....

People who saying they are football fans but then call it soccer should be Farking shoot dead :banghead:

the word "Soccer" is actually... you guessed it! a ENGLISH term. so really, you cant pick on americans for calling it soccer... however calling "american football" Gridiron seems odd too... or calling it tackle football doesnt work either...
just use Soccer and American football to prevent confusion

oh and about that NFL player "faking a injury"... as someone who cant get away from soccer, i can tell you that similar things happen like that maybe... 30 times in one soccer game EVERY game.

That happens, at most, once or twice a YEAR. Meanwhile, every single game of the World Cup last year, fall and rolling in pain every 10 seconds. Fuck off, you got nothing.
