Soccer

Soccer is a game played by millions of feet all over the world. You can't use your hands, unless you want to give the other team lots of free kicks. You don't have to have lots of money to play it, like those other sports, because all you need is a ball and some dirt, and cleats and shin pads if you want to get all professional. Soccer looks boring when you watch it on TV because camera(wo)men follow the ball like the paparazzi follow Jon and Kate. Next time you have ten of your friends over for a gathering only to realize you've grown out of crank calling, and who else is gonna move those yoga people in the park, suggest a good game of soccer instead and you won't be sorry.

Rating- 88%, 87% if you get kicked in the nads.

arbitrary percentage rating?

There are surprisingly few posts under the tag "getting kicked in the nads"

Editor, this is only my second post. Can't you use the cushy constructive "sandwich" when you are critical of my posts?

I love your posts, Internet Robyn. You always do such a good job of expressing yourself. Could you please remember to post an arbitrary quantitative percentage rating or a qualitative equivalent? Also, nice tits.

C'est mieux?

Paul Gascoigne "had spells as a manager and coach": I picture him flopping around on the ground with foam coming out of his mouth, or maybe falling asleep at the wheel of a V6 pickup truck.

Beaucoup mieux!

Isn't that picture of him awful? I think, if I remember correctly, he showed up to an England game drunk...as a player!

Also, while browsing at the movie store I noticed that Green Street Hooligans has a sequel. WHOOP WHOOP!

Thank the gods its football season (high school, college, and the NFL). Soccer's only good for filling up e.r. rooms before, during, and after the games because the real action happens in the stands and not on the field.

Yawn.

Rating, wait, I don't even think its a real sport in the U.S. I mean guys driving around in circles actually get more of those Nielsen ratings that are so elusive than even the fading NHL gets or Tennis which still somehow manages to get tons more eyeballs watching those hot Russion women in their short shorts than soccer.

I think I rather watch a snuggie commercial than soccer. You know they now have snuggies for dogs.

It's true, Americans don't seem to value soccer as much as other fast paced sports like that one where one person moves or spits every 6 minutes and they do it for 9 innings, or the one where guys line up in a row and run straight at each other and see if the ref catches them doing something wrong. But, let's not hold THAT against soccer. Somehow, without the American interest, soccer still seems to be the most played and the most watched sport worldwide.
