What is so great about soccer/football?

[Rog]

^ meh, it was good considering Nederland had the upper habd, especially in the second half ( when Thierry Henry was in) .

love this thread :: although I'm not a big soccer fan....

France - Holland
0 0

shitty match....

[Tyrant]

Because it's so popular it's a way of getting alot of different people together. And because America is the only place where it isn't the top sport it kind of makes it a universal language that unites everyone. Something that can unite so many people cant be bad.

soccer is gay and for pussies

now how is that? considering people are always getting snapped in football...you probably think american football is so gangster....try rugby...its the same but you dont wear the pussy padding...and we are the champions at rugby

I dont know whether many people know about this but Waterpolo is the roughest sport ever...people have ears and eyes ripped out in that sport...i remember hearing from my PE teacher that in one rival gave of waterpolo the pool was left almost red with blood after the game

[Cain]

yeah we just got love for the game...and its fun to play..when people pull off good skills it looks amazing.
i dont know why you americans dont watch it...but there again if my local team had a name like "Kansas City Wizards" i wouldnt watch it either lol

Yeah It Is A Way Of Life Over Here. Like In A Week, I'll Start Off On A Sunday By Watching 2/3 Games On TV, Play Football 6/7 Times During A School Week And On A Saturday Watch My Team And At Least One Utha Match On Tv. And Maybe A Week Game If We Are At Home lol

Yea word, i am not taking anything away from Swiss football, I am supporting my country's . Switzerland is fucking amazing though.

[cwoe]

yes sure, I actually don't even want to say anything against Holland...I'm quarter dutch and actually love their way to play soccer...just one more thing you shouldn't forget: Holland and Switzerland have got the same size, though Holland's population is a little bit more than twice as much as Switzerland..

[Rog]

^ yea you got a point but van Nisterooy or van der Vaart or Sneijder or Cocu or Overmars or Stam or well, you get the point, they aren't from any of the colonies.

[cwoe]

^ good shit man, but having a small country is no excuse for having shit football, look at Holland 3;-)3 .

Well, we don't have all these colonies where holland gets the best players from...and: swiss football is generally shit, but not my team. We came into second round in the Champions league last year, leaving for example Liverpool behind us.
